My two cats are still zoned out in the front yard just flopped in the yard near where the catnip was.

Sorry. We out too.

Sorry for the migraine Chicky....probably brought on by the stress of the heat and weather...

Drinking coffee and eating a date scone and figuring out which tapestry wools to use for my new project.

One of our cats had no interest in or reaction to catnip, but the other would get really spacey. It was a challenge getting catnip established in the garden, as he'd munch it down to ground level given the chance.

I've read that only about 50% of cats react to it. Our boys matched the statistics

One of mine has never shown an interest until today. The other one has always gone wacko (or is that whacko?) over it.

We currently have 4 cats in our back garden - three from next door and younger one from I'm not sure where. He did come up for some fuss earlier, so I've at least managed to establish he has a name (it's on his collar) and a home (it's not on his collar, although the phone number is - but he's clearly well looked after - I was starting to get a bit worried as I've seen him in our garden a lot lately)

It's been a month and at the last eye doctor visit he said that they "are doing as well as can be expected" for what splashed in my eyes. Light sensitivity, blurring, words jumping around, headaches when reading, and burning is "normal" and it will probably take a little while longer to go away. Something about how many layers it burned through. I have another appointment in 3 weeks for a more accurate vision check as he thinks there has been a vision change in one eye, but wants to be sure.

Oh, no. I can feel your pain.

I hope it goes away soon.

Poor dreams!

If you want, and if it comes to that, and I'm not implying it will, but.....

I can get you another set of eyeballs.
Just give me 24 hours notice and a color preference.
No questions asked.
It's on me.
And a nameless donor.

Dreams, what a dreadful experience! I'm glad to hear that it sounds fairly hopeful, but I'm sorry you're having to endure this.

I once had three cats: male, female, and kitten. I went away for a weekend (after seeing that the litter was fresh, and there was ample fresh water and dry food.) I returned to find one of them had found the catnip. There was catnip in a thick coating all over everything, and two very spaced older cats. (The kitten was apparently too young to get it.) I was greeted by feline equivalents of "How! High are you?"

I hadn't realized that much catnip could be in a small Hartz Mountain box.

Since I'd had days like that, I got blitzed myself, then got around to cleaning up the mess. I made sure in the future to place the catnip box in a place they couldn't reach.

There was a riot, and a soccer game broke out?

(Usually stated in the US substituting fight and hockey as the events...)

Yeah - think so. Very sick head!

While I'm still conscious - remember - Miss Marple is on at 9:00 on PBS - don't say I didn't warn you in time!

For a while, professional wrestling was all the rage at work. I would watch until the actual match began. Their pre-match ramblings were far more fun. For a while, they had some really funny writers, but sometimes they went too far.

I remember one time the Big Boss Man stole the casket of Big Show's father at his father's funeral. They dropped that storyline quick, as they got too many complaints from fans who felt that was over-the-top, even for a preliminary to a grudge match.

(Full disclaimer: Big Show's real father had been dead for many years prior to this scripted bit of drama.)
