A Christmas Garden Miracle

December 22, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat41 Comments

Good, the dog is not standing in my view!
It’s time once again to check up on my nip plant!

It's alive... and then some!
Wow! I can’t believe my eyes!

I can almost smell it through the glass door!
It’s thriving! Maybe that is because my human isn’t messing with it. She is just letting the automatic sprinklers water it and she pinched it back once. I think if she did anything more than that, she would probably kill it.

I am happy beyond meows!
All my months of no work have paid off! I’ve got Christmas nip!

    I’ve seen how much cats love catnip. I used to always try to make sure there was plenty when I had some cat friends.

    Christmas nip is GREAT! Your plant is looking very good and I bet it does well all winter. This way, even if Santa doesn’t bring you toys with the BEST nip in them, you will have some fresh stuff too.

    Are you able to go out and pick it or are you required to wait for your human to bring it to you. I have heard great things about fresh catnip.

    Why Sparkle, that looks just purrfect, and eggscellent also. I hope a selection of the most perfect leaves will be presented to you on a silver salver for Krissymouse Brunch–oh, I guess maybe Binga and Boodie can have some too, being it’s Krissymouse and all.
