PWB Theme Thursday: This is Your Cat on Catnip [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-04-25 Hi everyone! 4/20 fell on a Saturday this year, so I didn’t get to use some memes I’d saved just in case (because looking at a calendar never occurred to me...) Plus I found this on the-site-formerly-known-as-twitter and it reminded me what an important diary this was to post: x When the catnip hits.. 😂 pic.twitter.com/iECAjxecbD — Buitengebieden (@buitengebieden) April 25, 2024 Seriously, this isn’t just 4/20 redux. No, poor innocent kitties are having their lives horribly impacted by this insidious, mind-altering drug. It’s a real problem, and we need to talk about it! Vets nationwide try to warn pootie owners about the scourge of catnip... Welcome to PWB Theme Thursdays! If you’ve never visited or commented in a PWB (Pootie/Woozle/Birdie) diary before, come on in — the water is fine, and the folks are always friendly! A few quick guidelines: No trolling the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul. Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community. When it comes to problems, we may just have someone with experience who can help. So ask! Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly. There is no such thing as stealing a photo around here, but if you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks! ​There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw. You all remember that iconic commercial, right? (It’s the commercial that prompted a million stoner trips to Denny’s): For cats, catnip is just as critical and dangerous an issue as marijuana is for humans: (Please forgive the unrelated foolishness that comes first) It’s true — catnip affects cats deeply. It messes with their decision-making skills in all sorts of ways: They lose all sense of depth perception: x “What? I meant to do that” 😂 pic.twitter.com/tbFnDivOFy — Buitengebieden (@buitengebieden) April 24, 2024 x A wondrous #catfail from Doris this morning. Think Michael Douglas attempting to cross that Colombian ravine. pic.twitter.com/agtkd4Is7Y — 🌻Lucy Courtenay🌻 (@LucyCourtenay1) March 1, 2022 Or personal space: x Hi ( say him back) pic.twitter.com/gv3ZaXYnk1 — place where animal shouldn’t be (@catshouldnt) April 24, 2024 Their sense of reality becomes deeply skewed: Their cognitive processes can even grind to a halt altogether: x pic.twitter.com/7L1KtzhhPg — place where animal shouldn’t be (@catshouldnt) April 12, 2024 Then, of course, there’s the morning after: x pic.twitter.com/C4QizZcgl3 — place where animal shouldn’t be (@catshouldnt) April 23, 2024 How did I get up here? x pic.twitter.com/6D9XRqWAsZ — place where animal shouldn’t be (@catshouldnt) April 24, 2024 How did I get IN here? But despite the post-high hangover, catnip is so addictive it leads many unsuspecting kittehs into a life of crime and petty theft: Y? U got sum in dere? Don lissen, widdl kitten! So talk to your cat about catnip. Do it today. And remember: How do your pooties react to catnip? Apparently something like 55% of cats love it, while the other 45% are immune to its siren call. Just for fun, here are some BIIIIIIIIG kitties doing the ‘nip! Enjoy, and happy Thursday!
