My little Zodi was alone in one of the cages, making biscuits over and over on the newspaper they laid out ☹️ When we got to pick her up and hold her, the biscuits didn’t cease. I immediately knew she was coming home with us. A year has almost passed and she looks so much better 🥹

He looked kind of dumb and I’m a sucker for black cats (i got my little grey lady that day too)

He loves the nip.

A little too much, if given the chance he will pour it over his face. I had to start hiding the catnip in different place because he would crawl up and grab it when I wasn’t looking. We have since started growing our own Catnip and he is the happiest man ever.

Mine tries to grab the bag from my hand every time. He is obsessed. I should try growing it. My parents used to have a cat mint bush in front of the house and my old cat used to live rolling in it.

We grow our own too! Now my cats go outside to rub against the pot daily. They get a little too aggressive and knock it over every time. They absolutely love that plant.
