Attack of the Gato!

I went into my room yesterday morning and noticed something odd. My carrots were trampled down in my right grow bed. I looked and discovered that my catnip was devastated by one or both of my cats. I found the stalks chewed down to the hydroton. One could also notice little paw prints in the grow beds.

I got a good little laugh as I thought what it must have been like to be a cat and discover a fresh catnip stash. I can see two little sprouts below the clay pebbles. Hopefully they will sprout and I can keep the catnip a better secret this time.

Comment by Sean Short on February 22, 2011 at 3:46pm: My cats are indoor/outdoor cats so I unfortunately didn't notice which cat, if not both, were "nipping". I'm guessing they had a little feast and then went out "Tomming"; hyped up and ready to rule the neighborhood.

Comment by Sylvia Bernstein on February 22, 2011 at 2:18pm: Pretty funny, Sean. Were the cats acting like they had been "nipping"?
