A Maru Afterschool Special

Every day, the scourge of catnip draws our precious kitties into lives of indolence and insanity. In today’s episode, Just Say Meow, special guest star Maru plays a goofus caught in the spell of this evil weed, while Hana gallantly refuses catnip’s siren call. As she looks on in horror, the frenzied Maru desperately licks the last of the devil’s leaf until there’s no more. Don’t let this happen to you!

    My cat is in between Maru and Hana, if I give her a catnip toy she will play with it for about 10 seconds. Other than that, she is just not interested.

    It’s a good thing nip is legal! I shudder to think what Maru would do if Mugumogu couldn’t supply it. Hana’s reaction is interesting. I’ve never seen a cat actively dislike it.

    Maru – “Gimmee! GIMMEE!”
    Hana – “Gross!”
    My Maine Coons? “Gimmee……snore, snore, eat”

    Ok, where’s the end of the story??? Maybe it’s a cliffhanger with the ending to come some time later?

      That’s what I was going to say!!! Maru desperately what??? I need to know!

    • Duckie ? May 10, 2018 / 1:47 pm

      We’ll never know. Mugumogu wasn’t fast enough.

      Hmmm…the rest of the sentence is there now. Maybe only some of us enjoyed the cliffhanger experience?

      Yikes! I forgot to finish! Once again we see the toll catnip takes on the productivity of the American worker. (OK, it’s a complete sentence now.)

        Do we need to have an intervention?

          • AJ May 10, 2018 / 2:17 pm

            ROFLMAO!!!! Thank you Mike for not hanging us out to dry. Perfect story to go with the video. And if you don’t need an intervention than Maru might, he was pretty desperate to get the last of the nip.

    I wonder if Mugumogo has any skin left on her fingers, from Maru’s constant licking and Hana’s whapping!

    “But, Mom! He’s already licked it and chewed it! And gotten his spit all over it! Eww, yuch!” says Hana, indignantly. And now she will go sulk under the sofa.

    This could led to even worse depravity – innocent suburban cat teens taking ‘marihuana’! (Thank you, Reefer Madness).

    • allein ? May 11, 2018 / 9:47 pm

      Marujuana

    Devil’s leaf. wonderful.

    I have one of those. You should see the shameless flirting/posturing my cat does for the green stuff.

    I think “indolence and insanity” is a fair description of the average cat’s lifestyle, with or without catnip…
