323.0. "It's LOADED alright..." by ELESYS::JASNIEWSKI (Ah, the road within without) Fri Dec 02 1988 08:43

               
    	For all the Cat lovers in Womannotes:
    
    		"Cats just LOVE
    
    	      		KIT
    	      		BAG  
    
    		It's LOADED with catnip!
    
    		Enjoy watching your cat wrestle,
    		roll, kick, toss it into the air-
    		sometimes bring it back to you.
    
    		IT'S GREAT FUN AND EXERCISE FOR CATS!
    
    		low fu productions, box 762, los altos, ca 94022"
    		
                
    	My SO started to undo the string tie of this thing, and I asked
    her not to, so all the catnip wouldn't get all over. (Things usually
    dont go back together the way they originally were) Of course, she
    ignored me, and opened it anyways. There isnt a single bit of catnip
    in this thing! It just has a rolled up batting that is soaked in
    "something".
    
    	My cat did exactly as the label claimed (Except bring it back
    to me) when I gave him his present. What's my kitty getting off
    on? (His new "toy" is securely put away at this time, BTW)

something is a concentrate of a cat-nip tea; I wrote them and
found out. Mei-mei has the same bag of "something".

    Thanks, Cal, that's reassuring to know!  I had some really grim visions
    trucking thru my head about analogs to glue or benzine, brain-damaging
    highs. 
    
    There's a thing called a "Teddy Mouse" that's very similar in concept,
    though apparently stuffed with conventional dried catnip flakes. I got
    one this past summer just for a lark and the furballs loved it so well
    I promptly bought another!

    	That's reassuring for me, as well (because I've purchased a
    	variety of 'catnip'-type toys for my two kitties over the
    	years.)
    
    	My cats are older now (8 1/2 and 11 years) so they aren't quite
    	as spry as they once were (although my 11 year old recently
    	passed his yearly physical with the comment that he is in GREAT
    	SHAPE for an old guy -- my son says, "Yeah, you'd almost think
    	he was a *10* year old cat, rather than an 11 year old cat,
    	he looks so good!"  :-))
    
    	However, I remember buying a 'catnip mouse' toy on a rubber
    	string and tying the string to a doorknob (and watching my
    	then 1 year old cat leap up and attack that thing for what seemed
    	like a week non-stop.)
    
    	They do like their toys.  :-)
    
    	Kitties are fun to watch at any age (toys or no toys,) alright!

    we once brought home a "Marty Mouse" from the grocery store. It was a
    little stuffed mouse with catnip flakes in the batting. It promptly got
    renamed to "Martyr Mouse" after its rear end got chewed off. <grin>

323.6Hey, Thanks!ELESYS::JASNIEWSKIAh, the road within withoutFri Dec 02 1988 13:497
    
    	Thanks for confirming that it's "OK"! Mr Jinx will get his "great
    fun and exercise" - even without my supervision. (I was kinda wary
    just leaving it out, when I really didnt know :')

    re: "Teddy Mouse"
    
    Yeah - my furball loved it, too; in fact he loved it to death
    all over the house. . .of course, at 20+ pounds, he does have
    a tendency to break his toys, including the live ones he finds
    from time to time outside.  I don't mind that so much as his
    expectation that I fix 'em when they "break". . .
