Oh dear, my cat has addiction issues.

[pinkmummy]

Anyone with a cat will understand this.
I had to completely empty out my undersink cupboard in the kitchen last night due a bit of flooding. Dried every thing off and left it out overnight with the cupboard doors open to completely dry out.
Came down this morningand my cat had found the box of catnip leaves (like a legal drug for cats). She'd ripped her way into the box, dragged the packet out, ripped into that and I found her spaced out on the carpet after some serious partying!:twisted:
I'm now off to hoover up the remaining catnip so she doesn't bring her mates back for a rave tonight!

:twisted::twisted: never tried cat nip, but you should see what my cat does if I use bleach to was the floor, I have to keep him out until the floor is completly dry and then he body slides all over it making these little chirping noises, I swear one day I will crack a rib laughing at him

 

[pinkmummy]

You should get some, we call it cat cocaine.:twisted:
I think she's got the equivalent of a hangover this morning.

My cats LOVE the catnip bubbles, well worth getting!

Also, have you tried "Purr"? If catnip is cocaine, then Purr is crack cocaine, lol! Sprinkle a bit on a toy n you'll be wetting yourself at the way they go on!

The Purr Company - Purr is the cat treat that blows catnip out of the water!

Hi there Susie - In OZ we have a TV vet called Dr Harry......
A few episodes ago, a cat did the same thing with bleached floors as yours... rolling on and nuzzling the floor...endless licking of the paws... Hooked on bleach. It starts as a separation anxiety thing & goes from there.

Didnt see the end of the show so dont know if they got him/her into rehab lol....

Dont worry - we do. We normally end up with arms full of scratches where he keeps trying to tell us he wants some. But we rarely give in to him.

He is the same with sweets too!

:biggrin:

Hope your very happily sky high kitty doesn't get a touch of the DT's when he's finished tripping ... awwwww bless.

I have two cats oliver and squeaky, neither of them like the catnip nip but oh my god does oliver go mad for bleach!!!

he does exactly the same as already mentioned rolls around on the floor making funny noises for about an hour after i have cleaned it, he also rubs himself against all my plug in air fresheners so constantly stinks of whatever is plugged in, i think hes a clean freak because he hates his litter tray he wont even scrape the litter over his mess when he goes to the toilet.

I think i might get him some therapy lol xx

UPDATE: I must seek some kind of substance abuse counselling for her.

I was making a desert as we have have friends over for dinner tomorrow, Christmas style zucotto. I had finished putting it, put it in the fridge to chill for 24hrs, and lazily gone to sit down for 10 mins before washing up.:o
When I go back into the kitchen, she was up on the worktop (never aloud up there:twisted: )eating all the leftover ingredients.
She's had madiera cake crumbs soaked in cointreau, orange juice and brandy, never heard of a cat trying alcohol before. Also cream whipped up with icing sugar, vanilla pods and grated chocolate.
I may be taking her to the vets if she carries on her bingeing! Maybe it's the munchies after her high day yesterday?

I LOVE giving my cat catnip, he's a right old hoot.
First, he rubs himself in it, eating it and pulling himself along the floor, flipping and flopping
THEN the starts tearing around the house like a lunatic looking for trouble, chasing imaginary who-know-whats'its.... crazy critter

Another thing they really lke are the foils from cigarettes packs rolled up into balls OR olives without pits.
No idea why. But most cats do. it's weird, like a whole other kind of catnip thing going on.

You can buy fresh cat-nip in a little pot that looks like fat grass. Keeps on growing. Dont know if they get the same reaction.. but... it's available.
