WINDOW KITTY LOVES SUNSHINE
The above picture is one of my favorites. Despite my best efforts at preventing Sparky from turning my printer into a bed, she persists. I finally gave up, and to keep kitty hair out of the printer, I folded some soft blankets and placed them on top. Sparky likes that, and from her throne on high, she makes editorial comments and slaps at my hand or pats me on the head. Even when the mini-blinds are down, Sparky haunts the windowsill, willing to settle for slashes of sunlight sifting through the blinds.
But once I open the blinds, Sparky settles down for a sunny power nap. When she starts snoring, I know she's down for the count.
Occasionally I'll bump the desk or clatter my coffee cup and Sparky will wake up and give me one of her cross-eyed looks. With that one white toe on her right foot, it looks like she's giving me "the finger" for disturbing her sleep.
In no time at all, Sparky is back to napping and snoring. Except when she's had catnip. The picture below shows the after-effects of catnip on the brain of a slightly demented cat. Yes, it's the one and only Sparky Tabasco, bug-eyed and full of silliness after indulging in catnip. As you can tell by her eyes, she's still high, and there will be no power naps for a long time to come. The eyes just crack me up.
Our cats have that exact same expression after catnip! The kitty drug of choice…and it’s amazing they can tell which bag is rattling when we grab it. Must have a very distinct sound because they come running faster than for their food. But never a dull moment with a cat around 🙂

Wait, you tried to prevent Sparky from turning the printer into a bed?!? Clearly, you don’t understand! Sparky has graciously allowed you to use her bed as your printer!
😉
Great pictures as always on this rainy-I-pray-it-won’t-really-turn-into-the-ice-predicted Sunday.
Hope you’re enjoying yours.

Theo, thank goodness there are other cats out there with who get the same crazy expression after imbibing in catnip! Does that mean Sparky is normal? *g*
So far, Sparky doesn’t recognize the rustling sound of the catnip bag, but if you wad up a piece of paper or plastic or Saran Wrap or aluminum, she comes running, because that means she will have another ball to bat around. And don’t try throwing the wadded up ball in the trash, because she’ll go hunting for it until she finds it in the trash. The next thing you’ll know, she’s got that ball and is flinging it all over the house.
Before I vacuum, I have to take a yardstick and sweep it under the sofas and other furniture so that I can safely remove anything that might clog the vacuum cleaner hose. I usually end up with several wadded up balls. *g*

LOL, Donna! Yes, I was foolish to think I could prevent Sparky from doing anything she wanted! She likes her high-perch printer bed, and has even deigned to allow me the occasional use of the printer function (though she usually tries to kill any paper coming out). I’m a foodie and print out numerous recipes, which I place in sheet protectors in a 3-ring binder. Many of those recipes have teeth and claw marks on them.

That’s how my brother’s dog looks like when she’s sniffing and rolling in her special grass. And then sliding down the hill on her back, which she does ONLY when she’s been sniffing the grass.

When we lived in Germany, and England I grew catnip. It was a hoot to watch the cats when around it.

Hey, Minna, maybe your brother’s dog gets into the catnip too! By the way, there’s a hilarious video on YouTube of 2 dogs sliding downhill on their sides in the snow. It’s really adorable. Those dogs are having so much fun. Here’s the link:

Ella, I used to grow catnip too, but it attracted all the neighborhood cats, who eventually killed it by spending so much time rolling in it. By the end of each summer it was brown and lying flat on the ground. It also attracted other critters, who then ate the veggies in my veggie garden. So I eventually gave up growing it.

Well, I’ve certainly always thought she must have found the dogs version of catnip from our yard.
