Our cat Lila absolutely HATES catnip.

I've tried to infuse toys with it so she would learn to play with it but she just runs as far away as she can get.

Is that a thing?

This is probably due to a bad experience in college :batting:

Yes. We have one that HATES it. Hissing, spitting, etc. One who loves it and will tear your arm off to get the whole bag to chow down on, and one who apparently has no sense of smell based on the total non-reaction to it.

One in 3 cats doesn’t have the catnip gene.

I guess it’s like cilantro for humans. Some taste soap, some taste heaven, and some don’t taste anything.

The other 2 have either the ALL or the NOTHING gene.

My mother had gotten 2 kittens to replace 2 of her cats that died recently. I went up to stay the night yesterday, and after playing with them a bit with a chain they curled up in my lap and fell asleep. And this morning they crawled up my leg to do the same.

So, ya, they are terrible judges of character.

They are adorable. Makes me feel better about you, Suranis. Though I am and always will be a raging pro-choice feminist.

I've thought of how to respond to that, and I think the best way to respond is "So what?"

I ran across this recently. The man is Mark Twain of course. Makes me smile.

A ‘guard cat’ named Bandit helped stop an armed robbery at the home of a Mississippi man
Bandit, a 20-pound cat, alerted his owner after hearing two men break into their home, the owner said.


Bandit, a 20-pound cat, lives with her retired owner Fred Everitt in the Tupelo suburb of Belden. When at least two people tried to break into their shared home last week, the cat did everything she could to alert Everitt of the danger, he told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

“You hear of guard dogs,” said Everitt, 68. “This is a guard cat.”

The attempted robbery occurred sometime between 2:30 and 3 a.m. on July 25, Everitt said. He was first awoken by Bandit’s meows in the kitchen. Then, she raced into the bedroom, jumped onto the bed and began pulling the comforter off of him and clawing at his arms. Everitt knew something was wrong.

“She had never done that before,” Everitt said. “I went, ‘What in the world is wrong with you?’”

Everitt got up to investigate and saw two young men outside his back door. One had a handgun, and the other was using a crowbar to try and pry the door open, he said.

Everitt said by the time he retrieved a handgun and returned to the kitchen, the would-be intruders had already fled. Everitt told the newspaper that he did not call the police.
She's a rescue from a local shelter. :biggrin:

That's why we keep Stormy locked away whenever there's paint or leveling compound around.

That's called "texture". It's the 21st century look.
