Once or twice a year, I buy new kicky stixs. They are long “sticks” stuffed with catnip. The cats hug one end and chew on the catnip and bunny kick the other end with their back legs. They love them. At least three of them are obsessed with them. Morgan not so much but little Gracie is a maniac.
They came in the mail. On our way out for an errand, the beloved husband put the bag on the counter. When we came home a few hours later, the mail was on the floor, the bag was chewed apart and the new kicky stixs were all slobbery. All the cats were in a stupor reminiscent of Timothy O’Leary days.
And a picture of the lovers whispering sweet nothings.
Everyone here wishes you all a very kicky weekend filled with ‘nip!
Hysterical. No staff required, thank you.

That’s funny – better than wasting time anticipating this treat – just go for the gusto, ransack the mail and enjoy!! 🙂

My cats love those sticks! Sounds like they did the right thing since they weren’t opened and presented right away!

They don’t have any more patience than their lowly servant. This is the one toy that they play with.

I wish I’d had kicky stix for our cats years ago. Maybe they were sold in stores, but I never saw them. Your four had a ball!

I’ve only seen them on-line from the maker. I think it’s a very small business.

Nothing like a good nip now and then. Maybe I was a cat in a previous life? Though my idea of nips are liquid. 🙂

I prefer liquid myself. They don’t have a choice since they can’t smoke it.

Proactive cats will not be denied. Their great weekend has just begun.
Boss Cat has just read this post and feels deprived. I’ve tried in vain to remind her that the dog steals all her catnip toys and destroys them, but she’s still glaring.

Boss Cat is deprived! Gracie is such a quirky cat. Doesn’t eat treats and doesn’t always eat wet food but when she wants something she can toss aside a cat twice her size.

Well, she had catnip mice. But I’d catch the dog trying to sneak away…with a telltale tail hanging out of his mouth. And even when we’re just playing with a string, we have to close the door so the dog doesn’t try and join in.
Luckily, she enjoys playing with dogs also (i.e., boxing their ears).

One year I sent out catnip bags in my Christmas card to cat friends. One friend said he came home from work to shredded mail (all of the mail), catnip everywhere and two stoned cats. So funny!
