Expeditious Euphoria

We've been having some trouble lately with our cat Abigail. She seems to think our new sofa is a $599 scratching post at her disposal.

So today when I was passing Nissley's Feed Store in Morgantown, I decided to see what they had available to help alleviate this.

What I came away with was a spray can of catnip and a scratching post.

We're "wintering" a stray(?) cat that peeked at us through our windows one cold, rainy night. He and Abigail have not seen "eye to eye" (see: "not getting within 10 feet of each other") since he arrived about a month ago.

Suddenly this changed.

Somehow the catnip united them. Together in euphoric bliss they lay "loving" the scratching post, nearly side by side.

Amazing, really. Enemies...suddenly "chilling" together.

Okay. Okay. The catnip euphoria quickly wore off, and they were back at each other within 5 minutes.

But, hey, it's a start.

(And maybe it's the perfect weapon against terrorists? Although, I think the human equivalent to catnip is illegal.)
