Well, that gardener finally got around to replacing the nip plant he so carelessly ripped out by the roots and destroyed. But you won’t believe how he did it: he showed up with a bedraggled little nip plant that had probably been languishing in the back of some dusty, run-down excuse for a pet store.
How pathetic is that? My human has her work cut out ahead of her, and considering how good she is with plants, I am not holding out much hope.

See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
Don’t worry Sparkle. I’ll send you some nip if that doesn’t work.
pawhugs, max
I’m sure it will work this time, I just have to do paw crossed no one pull it out and then it will grow and fill your garden bed !
Purrs !!!!
your mom must have a brown thumb like M.
We’ve given up on nip. It’s beyond my mum’s ability.
Well, it is rather small, Sparkle. But it’s green…that’s a plus!! And we hear nip grows really fast and easy, so maybe your human won’t kill it.
I think catnip is a “seasonal” plant like herbs etc. Mom and Dad waited till after my human sister’s wedding to go to the garden store and buy parsley, oregano and catnip plants (they were all out of basil) and the plants were all looking pretty sorry. They perked up a lot with home care, though, and flourished. Maybe your will do well now that it is heading into fall, not the hottest part of summer. Just tell her she DOES have to water it!
We don’t think you will be having a big nip pawty very soon Sparkle – may be you can have one next year.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
There is always hope when catnip is involved Sparkle!
At least the gardener won’t rip this one up, though, Sparkle!
Well…small and bedraggled is better than no nip at all!
Patience, Sparkle, patience. All good things grow in time
Yeah but a little nip is better than none…
Dear Sparkle,
Our plant was pretty sad looking when we’s got it, but it took off. Then Kozmo and Cinnamon wrestled it into the ground. Now it has come back! Once they get get going they are hard to kill!

We think that nip plant is very cute and soon will provide all three of you some good times. Glad the human put up a sign explaining what the plant is now. Too funny. We are sending tons of purrs that this catnip makes it and doesn’t have to RIP. Take care.
I will send lots of purrs for your little nip plant. AAB killed mine earlier this year, but at least I got a few good noms from it before she offed it.
That *is* a pretty little catnip plant, Sparkle. But we think it’ll grow if you give it a little time. 🙂
You look so sad waiting for your nip to grow. Hope it grows real fast for you to use, I don’t like seeing you so down.
We are sending growing purrs to you (very little) nip plant. It does look pretty healthy, just small. Hope your human has some dried nip to tide you over until it grows up.
Isn’t there some saying about big oaks growing from little acorns?
Nip grows fast! Don’t despair, Sparkle.
you know what? it looks pretty darned good to me. My Mom killed mine.
Fresh nip Sparkle!
Wow I wish we had some.
purrs

Keep your paws crossed and it may grow into a big healthy plant for next year sparkle.
Sparkle… I love you!
Well, maybe the catnip plant starts out like a Charlie Brown tree–and ya know what the tree looked like after…. 🙂 Hang in there. Purr for your human, she may need a little confidence…

Welllll, it *IS* kind of puny–but I think there’s hope! Maybe the gardener will take care of it instead of your mom?
That looks like my pathetic nip plant that we have on the window sill but it’s lasted a year.
Oh my. Well, if it is any consolation, nip is a mint plant and should grow like crazy…if now silly bean digs it up that is.
mommy would dump my “dead” potted nip plants from a garden store along the house with the soil to fill the foundation, and now it is everywhere in the yard. mmmm nip
i’ll cross my paws yours does as well!
It is small, but looks healthy. We’ll send purrs and pawsitive thoughts to your nip, so mebbe it will grow. xoxo
At least the gardener knows it’s there now since he planted it so he won’t be pulling it out. Hopefully it grows really big really fast!
Oh dear, Sparkle. On the plus side, at least the gardener knows the nip is there and won’t kill it again!
oh oh, time to let your toes do the walking and place an order with an online nip shop!
