tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 I bought one brand that was sold as “catnip” but had added lavender and other things . Oops! I discovered that something in the mix caused an allergy attack for me! Poor Toot! He would probably love the Silver Vine but I am wary of it now. He may have to “borrow” a cup if he visits. Lol Did you know you can root cuttings from your catnip plants? I managed to over winter some last year by putting the hanging basket inside in a cat cage. Lol I had to protect it from foraging felines. Toot is a precious big nipper! Lol Lady may have a kitty crush. She heard the wonderful crooning of Toot. He has quite a purr. People hear him over the phone!
pearl99 pearl99 Lady is such a kind kitty. She always wants to check on any kitty that is not part of the group of inside kitties here. She and Mitsy are really the ones who saved little Wanda Heart. I never would have known she was outside if it had not been for the two of them. Mitsy brought her to the safety of the yard and the Gingerbread House and Lady led her the rest of the way and in to where I could get her. It took months for Wanda Heart to get well but those two saved her. It never ceases to amaze me when I watch the love of cats in action.

strider rose strider rose Yes! The photo really made me smile! Another one would be delightful. I will be excited to see what your wonderful imagination comes up with next time!


For anyone who is not familiar with the story of the rescue of Wanda Heart, she was a single kitten found and she was horribly infested with hookworm and other parasites and had a very long battle with Coccidia. She had lots of small wounds on her face and the front half of her body.
One of many vet visits.

How does Lady tell me when a kitty needs something? Catspeak!

She tells me in her own way. She gets what she needs from her secret hiding place….

Gives it to me as she meows like a mom cat calling a kitten.

Then she gives me,” the look.”

Hooman, someone needs comforting. The expression on her face and her body language speaks volumes. pearl99 pearl99 I agree. This kitty is amazing! Each kitty in their own way. I am always learning more from them about Cat-speak. ;)
I’m just turned into mush. I’ve never had a cat that fetched. My heart opens up with every cat postcard you send!

Jcatbird Jcatbird Doesn't surprise me at all that Lady would be instrumental in ensuring Wanda Heart is safe and loved! Look at her bringing a purresent!
I've never had any problem with anything from CatClaws.com or Petco.com. Just FYI. I loathe the smell of lavender! And cats? They loathe the smell of citrus! What were they thinking when they put those in there???:sigh:

Jcatbird Jcatbird So happy that you enjoyed the gif of the rare, but adorable Pooh Bear Cat. They are so adorable, but quite elusive.😉 Love Toot's and Wanda Heart's gotcha stories. I have a cat in my backyard who loves belly rubs. He may be an outdoor kitty, but he is loved.:catlove: I wish I could take as many in as possible in, but it is just not meant to be at this time.

Jcatbird code you and everyone here keep me in your prayers. I have been feeling very rundown in the last few days. Joint aches and erratic body temps that keep going up and down. It went up to 100.3 last night and I thought it has been stabilizing today, but it spiked up again. I don't feel that bad right now and am not coughing or sneezing. I am just annoyed at this unstable body temps and my.bad bout of insomia is a problem.

Be careful out there, both the flu and the latest Covid strains are spreading like wildfire. I really don't get colds, so I am annoyed that my latest bad bout of insomia left me susceptible to this. Once again your prayers are appreciated. Stay well everyone. ❤

Prayers and healing vibes being sent your way by special express. 🙏 :vibes::vibes::vibes:
Not just Covid and flu but RSV too. We know several adults who were in the hospital with it.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well! I keep hearing of people I know getting covid in the last couple of weeks, even fully vaccinated people. It sure is mutating fast.
Feel better Whenallhellbreakslose Whenallhellbreakslose !

Margot Lane Margot Lane I know what you mean. I am glad that I can share all the precious things about these kitties. I am always mush here because of watching them. Lol They constantly keep me going Awwww or :flail:. I saw something that made me think of you. Cats can do anything! The first few minutes of this….lol
tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 I know! Why put additives in catnip?:headscratch: I thought I was buying catnip! At least the company rep looked it up for me when I complained. This brand is sold in many, many places. It has a name that does lead one to think of a cat being toasted. The rep was just as shocked by the ingredients as I was. Hopefully, being a large distributor, they will complain to the company that makes it. I bought the same brand years ago but I don’t recall having an issue with it. I have to wonder if there was a crop failure or shortage and this stuff was used as filler out of desperation? We shall see. I had bought another brand and it was so dry and dedicated I felt it had been old stock.:dunno: Maybe I just need to start my own catnip farm.:dizzycat::climbcat::runningcat:Ummm. Maybe not.:lol:
I will look into the sites you linked. Thank you! Toot, Whistle, Lady and all the others thank you too.

CatladyJan CatladyJan :flail: That is so funny. Besides the vet visit, it might include some bandaids for the human? Thank you for the laughs!

rubysmama rubysmama It never hurts to add a little Heart to things. Lol;) Who can resist a Ginger girl?

neely neely I think her name fits too. Little story behind that name. After naming so many kitties I had asked on the thread for suggestion for her. I had to rush her in to the vet and they required a name so, as she gazed at me I just blurted out Heart! It didn’t seem quite enough though. Then N NY cat man had been talking about how this little one should be Wanda because she had “ Wandered “ into my heart. He was so right! That was it! She became Wanda Heart and I called the vet to have that made official. It does fit her.:gingercat2::redheartpump:

She joined the group of grown females that like to stay in one bedroom most of the time. She ended up teaching them all the joys of kitten play.

pearl99 pearl99 So true! Many are getting sick.

Ditto tabbytom tabbytom Get well wishes to all who are sick or recovering!

Lari Lari I hope you are completely over it now.:hugs:

Mamanyt1953 Mamanyt1953 And with some stink eye! Lol

strider rose strider rose I hope you are feeling better.

For everyone who is under the weather or recovering, my brother , friends, step sister and Dad included included…..maybe we could all use a good nurse?

Sending many “Get Well” wishes from Chez Catbird.

tabbytom tabbytom A haiku? Or close to one. Very evocative and excellent! Thanks for sharing with us.
Jcatbird Jcatbird Cat Claws' catnip is 100% catnip, guaranteed. I've never had any trouble with Petco's catnip or catnip/silvervine blend. The company that sold you the bad stuff probably won't do anything about it, because with most companies, as we all know too well, the bottom line is the only thing that matters. It's usually up to the customers to write to the bad company and complain. If enough do, and especially if they put up reviews in public fora such as Yelp!, it might get some positive action.
