OK, now that I've had some sleep... I bring you the Great Catnip Caper. The characters: Simon (an incredibly smart Siamese/tabby mix), Baby (a mutt cat, cute as a button, dumb as a rock), me, and my (now ex) boyfriend. Simon was a champ at getting into cabinets. We put those baby latches on all the lower cabinets. We kept the catnip in a plastic container, placed carefully in the back corner of an overhead cabinet, behind glasses and coffee mugs. One day, Jay and I had gone out for some reason. We were gone about 3 hours. Normally, when we got home Simon and Baby would meet us at the door, so when there was no sign of them this time, we were a bit concerned. We went through the house, only to get to the kitchen and quite a sight. It seems that Simon had gotten up on the counter, opened the cabinet in which we kept the catnip, and somehow managed to get the container out..without disturbing any of the glassware. Best we could figure, he then knocked it to the floor where one or the other of them managed to get the lid off (lots of tooth marks). Both the cats were stretched out on the floor, stoned as hell... Baby hugging the lid to himself, giving it long, loving licks. Simon's head was deep into the container, one paw on top of it as if he were trying to make sure it didn't fall off... Lot's of catnip flakes and dust all over the floor.. I wish I had those pics digitized..I'd post them..
