Catnip Caper

Of our two kitties, Minette is the mellowed out one. She's the one that we leave loose in the house to frolic and play and explore. She doesn't scratch up the furniture, she goes back to her room to use her litter box and she's a fan of the cat scratch board in the dining room. It's all good. Serena is more likely to rip the loveseat apart and piss in the kitchen sink and knock everything off the top of the fridge with her tail.

Imagine our surprise when we came home to find the kitchen floor covered with catnip! I keep their nip in a drawer in the kitchen. I know that cats can open drawers if a) no one is home b) they have enough strength to push the thing open. The way I figure it, Minette had both advantages and dragged the bag out, turning the kitchen floor into "one giant doobie" as Sonny called it. LOL!

She's banished to her room for the week (no more exploring while we're out... plus I'm pissed that I have to prematurely buy more catnip!) and I'm almost certain she knows why we're angry with her. She was a pathetic sight with her little ears pushed back, and her eyes big and round as we scolded her for the mess, but her punishment will stick. She's a banished kitty.
