Does your Cat Bogart the whole bag of Catnip?

Edited on Sun Nov-28-04 03:41 AM by GingerSnaps

My Cat is so selfish he thinks that the bag of Catnip is his and his alone. He will lay on top of it so that you can't give the other Cat any catnip and god forbid if he looses one ounce of his kitty weed. He takes a hissing fit over it! :smoke:

1. That's just bad manners!

I'm surprised the other cat's don't call him out on it.

I grow my own for my little addicts, they say it is much stronger then the cheap dirt weed the other cats can get. :)

I left the catnip drying on the counter one night and came out the next morning to catnip spread all over the kitchen and living room. Sleeping it off in the middle of a large pile was the guilty party. :)

2. My living room

Looked like we were having a Catnip snowstorm one time. My solid white long hair Cat busted a bag of catnip open and he was tossing it up in the air playing with it. After the bag was empty he rolled in the Catnip. Everything was covered in it and both cats were caked in it. It was a huge mess :D

4. 1 out of 4 cats

we have 4 cats who enjoy catnip to varying degrees
This summer I harvested a pound or two of catnip from our yard and garden. Cats seem to prefer the fresh to the dried -- but they eat/rub/roll in it anyway they can get it

the 19 year old (Kudra) -- sniffs and chews a tiny bit
the 15 year old (Dutchess) -- checks it out and may or may not rub on it
the 3 year old (Poohkah)-- will munch some of it down
the 4 year old (GATO) -- eyes go wide, rolls in it, rubs on it and then eats it all. Then it's time to run around the house. He is also crazy about chasing the laser light spot

6. What is catnip?

I'm allergic to cats so I've never had any experience with the stuff. What exactly is it and what does it do to cats?

10. Kitty weed, for some cats.

See stories above. Nutty behavior, basically. Mine don't react at all.... too bad, they're fun to watch when they get wacky.

8. Where does the term Bogart come from?

Is there some kind of story from the collective unconscious that I need to be let in on?

9. It's a stoner term.

"Don't bogart the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed, man!"

Translation: "You are unfairly hogging all of the herbaceous goodness. Please share."

edit: that's not what you asked! but now that you mention it, I don't know where it COMES FROM either.... hmmmmm.....

14. It comes from Humphrey Bogart.

When he'd smoke, hed let the ash on his cigarette get extremley long, hence the term Bogart.

11. They not only bogart it, they roll in it

We lay out two piles of it for our two cats, and invariably one jumps on the pile to eat it, but ends up rolling over the other pile-- to wear it, I suppose?

We have a friend who grew catnip in her garden one year. She was quite popular with the neighborhood cats. She has a picture of one big fat cat who had his front paws wrapped around a stem of it, with a dopey look in his eyes, bogarting the whole plant. Priceless!
