It is unusual for me to catch our cat, Christian, being anything but dignified. But this morning I caught him in the catnip I planted yesterday. This plant, an herb relative of the mint plant, doesn't seem especially interesting to me, or even our other cat, but Christian cannot resist rolling and drooling on even just a leaf. After a good roll he looks up with red, dazed eyes, and then will sleep for hours.

The cat in the catnip

Cait is a catnap nut too, I have never grown it, but fill an old sock with it from time to time and she goes nuts. Also put it anywhere I want her to go. Some time ago I bought her a cat condo and she didn't use it, then I rubbed catnip in the corners and that's all it took!
