This will sound nuts, but I had some cats that ignored catnip/silvervinebut would go nuts for celery leaves. Thats how I misidentified one shelter catthat replaced my Wanderer Julie (turned out not to be her). Caution: if you like the Cajun Trinity of celery/bellpepper/onion, cat will always be under your feet and trying to get on the counters.(But it won’t be trying to get outside with all the aromas)BTW, are Elvis/Goldie/Puck trying to hold their noses?Ive only seen cats do the Hand Without A Face when trying to sleep
Re catnip plants: I had a cranky racist neighbor that hated cats (says it all?)who used to rant at me about all the cats pooping in her flowers (uh deer squirrels skunks turkeys strays?) so I kept telling them to plant catnip becausethe cats won’t poop in that spot anymore. Not based on any vet knowledge(though I did intern with a vet for a merit badge…)but simple observation and common sense: animals dont poop where they eat.Oh if only our politicians had the brains of a cat…Wait that’s actually kinda scary
Let the fur goblin adopt YOU. Not to rank my cats (many of whom were able toget pretty rank themselves all on their own [dirt glorious dirt!]but the best cat ever was Gizmo who came up to me at the Friends of Fairmontanimal shelter, leaped onto the desk before me (bad legs, I needed to sit)curled around my shoulders and fell asleep w rumbly purrs.What a great cat! Got me through my brain tumor and recovery/disabilityand I still miss him terribly after 5 years. I found that cats are 100% CATunlike humans that will discard you if you are “broken”, to a cat even thingsthat are broken can be fun to bat around and play with.
FWIW, my mom used to sew as a hobby. When she got older and developedAlzheimers she used to store her spare cash in the bottom of the sewing cabinet (where the machine recess into on a 1950’s Singer).If you have older parents and need to clean out their house when theystart losing memory/mobility, look there if they’ve forgotten, you may findquite a bit of “rainy day” funds to fix up the house.
I predict Bets gets injured or slipped a roofie by the inebriateswhich lets Tiffany come to her rescue and add some depth tothe characters who are rather 1 dimensional in a 2D medium.Like Robotman (1980’s) it may be time to spin the strip into a more interesting character (flawed) development series.Delta never got the arcs she deserved, Gunther did, Bets lingers onthe edge of becoming more complex. Tiffany has been a 1-note jokebut may have as much depth as fellow blondie Rutger Hauer.
I am from the “Tis but a scratch” generation but even I go to Urgent Care.Last time they plopped me into a wheelchair (hey I can walk!)and after consults they wheeled me to ER Cardiology for angio and 2 new stents. So if you’ve had any kind of heart/lung issues, dont delay.They may not have Breaking Cat News in the afterlife, or Our Nine Lives
