Pawesome Friday greeting wunderpurr furriends
Welcome to our weekly round-up on The Pet Parade and furstly we had a bit of technical issue with Tuesdays scheduled posts not getting published on time, luckily we rectified that issue on Wednesday, but needless to say:
ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
fur the inconvenience! MOL
Anyhoo, all is well in blog-land now. We're are trying to catch up and not doing a furry good job right now, but we are endeavouring to do our best, so purrlease bear with us while we continue to wurk diligently to get to all your blogs.
In other news, the P.A. got some catnip seeds a couple of months ago and as we've got supurr green paws here we have a furry nice catnip crop growing.
We were quite surprised at the difference between catnip and catmint, the catnip leaves are huge, which means all the more fur me! MOL
So anyhoo, we grew about 25 plants in total, and we did replace two of the catmint plants in the mill-wheels as those plants we're looking really tired and needed a break from us, so they've gone on an extended rejuvenation programme in another part of the garden.
At the weekend I thought I'd better see how the new catnip plants were doing in situ... and offur them some tender loving care... NOT!
Then Fudge decided he needed some action...
Then I decided I didn't want to share...
Yes, it's all mine, and none fur any heathens!
And before it ends up getting out of paw, I think it's time we moved on....

DeleteWow, those plants look great! I wish I had a green thumb, for the sake of my cats anyway. Cute videos, too!
ReplyDeleteHey Chatty Cats, seriously mew don't need green paws or thumbs to grow catnip, just get some seeds, compost, and some small pots, add seeds + compost to pots and water regularly, just make sure they are kept in a warm place like a sunny windowsill until they germinate... mew'll have a crop in no time! XOX
DeleteWonder if catmint will draw cats into our backyard the way I fear catnip will? Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteHiya Eastside cats, maybe, but if mew keep it closer to the house then if any introoders decide to usurp your crop they might be put off due to it being in close proximity to the house! XOX
DeleteOMC, each of you has his own plant of catnip ? And the rest... That's a lot of nip ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteYep its true Swiss Cats, we have enough catnip and catmint fur the entire villages! MOL MOL XOX [#catnipdealer shhhhhhh!]

ReplyDeleteMOL Momma Kat & Bear, we love your pronunciation of my name... Bay-Zille!! MOL Oh Fudge has a lot to learn about hierarchy! MOL XOX
DeleteI don't think I have seen your coat markings before, they are amazing. My cat Jake doesn't like to share his catnip either.
ReplyDeleteHi Edie & Jake, thanks fur stopping by guys, oh wow thank mew, my markings are quite swirly aren't they! MOL Jake dude, mew keep a hold of your catnip stash and when mew get low, let us know and we'll send mew some of our primo nip! MOL XOX
DeleteWhoa! Looks like a bumper crop of nip!!
ReplyDeleteIsland Cats, yep it's a bumper crop fur sure, now we want to know as mew guys are the horticulturists here, how much catnip do mew have growing? MOL MOL XOX
DeleteWe are envious of your catnip and you grew it from seeds. You do have green paws indeed. Mommy buys the plants and she still manages to kill them no way would she be able to grow it from seeds. Yours looks GREAT.
ReplyDeleteHiya All at ATCD, oh we're sure your mommy could grow catnip, see our reply to 3 Chatty Cats, seriously guys it's so simple, and if mew needed any tips we'd be glad to help! XOX
DeleteWhoa! Just look at all your catnip and catmint, guys!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your videos, too. It shows how much you really enjoy those yummy plants.
Hugs!
Hey Zoe & Gracie, so glad mew enjoyed a little Basil TV today!!! MOL MOL XOX
DeleteVery impressive bunch of catnip.
ReplyDeleteAwwww thanks guys, we're trying! XOX
