Nip Party Selfies

somai cat and tortoiseshell cat get some catnip

What’s a kitty to do when it’s too hot to go out? Have a nip party, of course! Our fresh catnip from last week is still drying, but my human had some good stuff onhand. Literally on her hand at the moment.

I’m not sure if Binga was invited, but she’s here anyway.

Oh well, the more nip I have, the less Binga’s being around will matter, right?

Uh-oh, I just remembered — I still need to do a selfie!

Ugh! I hate trying to set up when I’m nipped out like this. It’s even worse than last week.

somali cat takes very blurry selfie

I can’t even see straight! Which I guess is kind of obvious.

At least the focus is better, even if it is horribly off-center.

You can totally tell I’m nipped out here. Oh well, this will have to do. Binga’s commandeering all the nip.

    I’m not sure if any of my old cats would have been able to stay still long enough for pictures. That’s good will power.

    Yeah Summer, you do seem to be leaning over a bit after the Nip-fest! But we should remember that Nip is a gift from Bast. She gave it to us so that we could experience life in new ways, wobbling around a bit to test our sense of balance, and to re-experience our kittenhoods and to experience a new fresh pleasure in the routine foods we eat.

    And of course feeling nopped-out! Um, napped out, um nupped out. Wait, we’ll get it right in a few miniits..

    What were we talkig about? Oh yeah, we were gonna nibble on some Nip…

    Beautiful as always, Summer. About Binga … I’m pretty sure the concept of an invitation is lost on her. Why SHOULDN’T she be there? (or so she thinks)

    Binga does not need any invite; she has carte blanche to do as she pleases, we think.

    Summer, that last photo is terrific. We’ll all be nipped out tomorrow ’cause that’s when Chris comes to clean. She always covers the foyer rug with nip and let’s us go crazy until it is time to vacuum. By then we are all napping somewhere. Please forgive us for being absent lately. Now that the wedding is over, life should start getting back to normal. Thanks for sticking with us. Try to stay cool. It is super hot here as well. Even though our catio has two ceiling fans, we are mostly staying inside. Mom wants to thank you for the tip about treats during harness training, but C.J. doesn’t like treats. She’s crazy! Mom will probably have to find something else. Once the harness is on, C.J. tends to lie down and not move. Thanks for being faithful friends and thank you so much for hopping!

    At least you can still sit up when you’re ‘nipped’ … Mr. M tends to need a nap, but then his arthritis seems to feel better.

    MOL, what a great way to close out this week. You girls made our mommy laugh so hard. She’s head strong on growing us some nip after seeing your garden. All of today’s pics are cute, funny and filled with expression. Great action shots. Looks like Binga is quite content and happy! Purrs

    I don’t even like nip. I have it growing wild in the yard and ignore it all the time. I also have some cat thyme in a pot and that smells better.
