My brother grows his own catnip--nothing funnier than to see a cat high on kitty dope running around chasing their tail. If the Coke box ever fails to amuse, paper sacks are also endlessly amusing, plus they have a rustle factor that is quite nice.

Mina is adorable, a poster child for kittens everywhere. It's especially great to see her playing with the dogs, completely fearless. She decided this morning that my nose needed extreme licking.

Hee! that is so cute! I'm not sure sassy could use mode 1, tho'...she's a bit too fat to fit in a box that size, lol.

mode 2 definitely sounds like fun for all, tho' :)

~e!

I really want to like kittens, I do. Am horrifically allergic, though. As a defense mechanism, I tell myself I hate cats, but really, they are too adorable!

Alex LOVES boxes: first s/he [don't know which] chews a hole in the side to become an auxillary entrance or window, then the bird goes right inside and begins shredding the interior for nesting material. I tend to stuff boxes with toilet paper rolls, smaller boxes, etc. to keep Alex busy for longer.

There comes a moment in life when you know you are no longer in charge when you select your eggs according to which cartons are the most favored bird chew toys [paper pulp, not styrofoam or clear plastic]. And your friends bring you their empty t.p. and paper towel rolls as a matter of course, and when new phone books come out, a whole pile of old ones magically appears on by the kitchen door by from everyone who knows how much Zane loves to reduce them to itty bitty confetti. He is my Official Confidential Documents Handler.

In grad school I kept a gerbil. When I got back dissertation chapters from my asshole advisor, I would skim his remarks and then drop the draft into the cage. Twenty minutes later it was bedding, and I felt better.

Have you given Mina a tuna can to lick clean yet?
