St. Catrick’s Day FAIL

March 17, 2014 By: Sparkle Cat58 Comments

I was really hoping to have a fresh, green catnip fest for St. Catrick’s Day, but my nip garden isn’t looking so hot at the moment.

It's also full of ants and aphids

So my hopes for some catnip beer were dashed.

Not even near beer

Don’t even try to fake it.

This is pathetic beyond words

I think it is time to call on my stand-in.

Maybe it was a good thing that mug was empty

I hope you get to wear some green catnip today!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from ME!

    Wow–those are some cool pictures–well, all except that first one I guess. That one is kind of Fail. Binga looks nice, and Boodie must be passed out somewhere? That’s a nice little green mug. Hope the Human put SOMETHING tasty in it for you.

    Come on over to my place! I’ve managed to set up nip beer on tap, in the fridge. Peep doesn’t know it’s there. Hopin’ to have it finished before she finds out.

    What a pawsome St. Catrick’s Day card. Thank you. I hope your nip can bounce back with a little water and TLC. I think Binga would enjoy some CK Irish Cream.

    Happy St. Catrick’s Day. I imagine catnip beer is a Cat Trick? The human here would not be above giving it a try. She hides the catnip (not cool like yours) and usually can’t find it when we need it.

    Sparkle, you look terrific in all your clover. Our catnip plant has gone over the bridge too. Too much cold weather here. So we just had to wear hats. At least you didn’t have to do that. You have a great day.

    Well Sparkle, your catnip patch looks a lot better than the dried up clay pot we have here… buried in 3 feet of snow!
    No nip beer for us either. I’m glad so see you’ve put Binga to work. Without the nip, you can’t be bothered with such nonsense.
