If You Don’t Talk to Your Kittens about Catnip, Who Will?

Newton: Catnip Anonymous asked me for help. I’m supposed to make a public service announcement about the dangers of using too much catnip.

Let’s get arranged for this. Stay right there, little sardine. Not too far away. I want to still be able to smell you.

Okay, I’m ready to get started….

* CLEARS THROAT *  So hello, everyone, my name is Newton, and I’m here today to talk to you about catnip.

Wait, it just moved. I’m sure it did. Did you see it move, too?

Never mind the the public service announcement about catnip. I can’t resist this any more. Just… umm… don’t do catnip, kittens. Send it to me instead.

    No need for a public service announcement, nip is a fun thing- every kitty needs some.

    Adorable! You must have a fast shutter speed on that camera! My cat shots with catnip are always blurry, as my cats are desperate to kill the toys before they get away!
