Cats are so lucky. It takes just a sniff of catnip to get them feeling wonderful, whereas we humans must rely on more invasive and costly contraband materials to receive the same effects. And catnip is so cheap; if I gave my cats an allowance, they’d become total dope addicts. My mom had some catnip planted in her garden last summer, and she made lots of feline friends--the catnip patch became a communal meeting place for all the cats in the know, like a kitty café. A garden just isn’t quite complete without a few kitties romping in it.
The effects of catnip are so pleasing to cats, and also to their people, who get to watch the hilarious action of their cats rolling around blissfully. In our Lab this month, I took two unwitting guinea pigs, or rather, cats, as test subjects in an experiment on the effects of catnip on cats. My hypothesis was that differing grades or consumer varieties of catnip
have dissimilar effects on kitties, as extrapolated from knowledge of other
types of drugs and their variance. Though the variables in this test were
wildly uncontrollable, and proved only to get increasingly uncontrollable as
the test proceeded, I believe to have proved my hypothesis correct, and
submit to you my results, in the hope that my research will contribute to
you finding more ease and wisdom in purchasing or growing catnip.
Our cats, Maddy and Opale, were the test subjects. Forthwith is my scientific log of events.
