Nipped or not nipped…that’s the question

Hi (Furry)furriends💗

Granny

why are you calling us…

I know that’s nip…

but that doesn’t mean

that I’m interested in it…

I like the way it looks

and it’s a good plant to hide…

but it doesn’t call me like other things…

me neither…

I prefurr the kiwi plant…

and now boys?…

Nope…

still doesn’t call us…

we more like to follow tracks…

of birdies…

here’s one in the tree…

and now it’s there…

and I smell something too

here on my track, Peachy…

Stippie stop that…

you we have to follow me now

that birdie…

maybe one last smell…

before you can throw it all away Granny…

not only because we don’t like nip…

yet..

but also because the weather was so rough

in Springtime…

that all the lice had a chance

to multiply themselves

in the nip…🙀

so we can’t sell it either…

like our auntie Angel Binky did…

I wonder what our Auntie

would think of that…

as she was a lover of nip…

fresh…

or just harvested…

https://youtu.be/HlSAFYiVRVI

she was nipped all the time…

I think nothing…

she would say:

“Whatever happens,

happens.

Accept things

and move on.”

😺Have a Happy Fourthday my furriends😸

    This is a great post! It’s amazing how cats are so curious and love to follow their instincts. I can totally relate to Stippie and Peachy, wishing they could explore and find some fresh nip. It’s also really cool how you referenced Corey Johnson’s quote. It makes me think about how important it is to accept situations and move on. Thank you for this post!

    Thanks for the post, Corey Johnson! I’m sure your auntie would be proud of what you said. It’s so true that we must accept things and move on. Thanks for reminding us to stay happy and positive. Appreciate it! Thank you author!

    Your nip plants have lice? MOUSES! I didn’t even know that could happen. I had best go check on my plants right now, ’cause we’ve had a lot of rain as well. MOUSES!!!

    Hopefully those naughty lice will be gone, soon, so your nip plants will me more delectable…we hope! Do you like Valerian?? Some kitties like that as much as catnip.

    I love the quote by Corey Johnson. Our cat takes a sniff of dried nip and quickly loses interest. She would rather chew on our spider plants. Purrs and hugs. 💖

    Wait, there are kitties who don’t go crazy over catnip? What is this world coming to?

    Well boys you’re not the only ones who don’t QUITE go crazy over catnip. I like it for about two minutes then I’m “over it”. We have a patch of catmint in the garden and I like to LIE on top of it but don’t do a sniff test! Maybe you will grow to like it???

    Hugs, Teddy

    I’m sure you’ll grow to love nip (one it’s free of lice), just like Angel Binky did 🙂

    Auntie Binky was so very beautiful and wise, so you be sure to listen to her, okay, Peachy and Stippie? 🙂

    We LOVED seeing her videos today. What special memories. XO

    Are you two just a bit to young to like nip (kitties have to be a few months old usually) or do you just not like it ? ) The lice on it are plant lice aren’t they ?

    I never knew that some kitties didn’t like nip. I thought it was just a sure thing! Live and learn….

    Love and licks,

    Never mind, you don’t have to like nip. Eric was never interested, but Flynn more than made up for him.

    Wow, this is so funny. Mama cut our nip flowers, too, and I am totally uninterested. But in spring, when it starts up again, I love it.
