Cats, Life
“I Love my Dom Purringnon” Mom!
The kitties got some new toys
“KittiKrack,” said the label. Hmmmm. Pure silvervine.
Well, they do like their silvervine chew sticks. But I grow catnip for Freyja, Uma and Bisou — in pots inside, on the balconies and all over the garden. And I normally buy little pouches of organic catnip to freshen up their toys.
But these little bottles of “Dom Purrignon” and “Meowbec” infused with silvervine were just too adorable and we had to have them. They showed up a couple days before Valentine’s (which is what I had bought them for), but hey — we just couldn’t wait!
We busted them out, along with the little packet of “KittiKrak” that came with them and did a little liberal sprinkling.
Well, as you can see, Freyja greatly approved.
Uma preferred the “Meowbec.” Any kitty that voluptuous must be a “red wine” girl, right?
Bisou also got a new “infinity curve” to go in front of the fireplace. The old one was completely shredded. I sprinkled a little of that KittiKrak on this too, and “wowza!”
All that partying can leave one to ponder, “Why do I still have water droplets on my nose after drinking out of my fountain several minutes ago?” Well, it might just be that the “Kitty Crack” is a wee bit stronger than we thought.
But, really what is the morning meant for? It’s time to sleep it all off.
Freyja, Uma and Bisou thank you for following along on their adventures. Bisou recently had a little fame on Instagram. We’re working on putting together another reel, but you might enjoy this one in the meantime (Yes, I spend waaaaay too much time watching cat reels on instagram. They absolutely crack me up):
