The Battle for Cat Supremacy Angel vs. Tigger

[Some Chick]

The three kings would bear gifts of catnip, litter and Fancy Feast.

[Gopher]

Thhey'd be even more welcome if they all brought catnip. I wonder just what's in it that appeals to them, and what the nearest equivalent is for a human to relish.

[kitten]

Peculiar, indeed.  What a strange thing to do, but as long as she's happy.............  

[Gopher]

Happy? She told everyone about it in her Christmas cards.

[Sportsdude]

Now Tigger is depressed. He won't go outside at the moment where Angel is (she's laying on the porch table sunning herself. Tigger looks all paranoid.  Tigger is only 1, and for the past couple of months we've babied him. Will he go a-wall?

[Gopher]

Just keep up the babying!

[kitten]

No.  His feelings are hurt right now, but he'll adjust to the situation and they'll get along just fine.  They just had to settle who was boss, that's all.

  I've been told that the nearest equivalent to catnip is marijuana.  Cats get really happy and then they sleep it off.  Now that I think of it, maybe you should give some to your cats, Sportsdude.  That might mellow them out.
 

[Gopher]

Maybe we should all try it, and see if our 'inner cat'  responds.

[kitten]

Which?  Catnip or marijuana?

[Gopher]

Oh, catnip of course.

[kitten]

I would think it would be awfully dry to chew on.  I plan to let my cat reap all the benefits.

[Gopher]

I'm going to give it a try before long, maybe make some tea out of it. I'll let you know the results.

[kitten]

Now there's a thought.  Catnip tea sounds a little strange, but then again, why not?  It might be best iced in this weather.

[Gopher]

Yes, that's a very good idea. There could even be a market for it, but I think it would have to go under another name (maybe the Latin?)!
