Help! My Catnip Stash is Being Pilfered!

Dear Dr Basil

I hope this letter finds mew well. I'm writing to mew today because I have a serious problem that I need your help with. Mew see, I'm a cat with a serious catnip addiction. I've spent months cultivating the perfect catnip garden in my backyard, but I've run into a bit of a snag. Other neighbourhood cats keep sneaking into my garden and stealing my stash!

I've tried everything to keep them out. I've put up fences, set up booby traps, and even hired a neighbourhood watch to patrol the area. But nothing seems to work. These cats are like catnip ninjas, and they always seem to find a way to get in and steal my precious stash.

I'm at my wit's end, Dr Basil. What should I do? Should I just give up on my catnip dreams and find a new hobby? Or is there something I can do to keep these thieving felines at bay?

Sincerely,

Catnip Crazy Calvin

This is my Expert Reply

Today I use the colour green, as this is renowned for its calming effects, and I feel this week's purroblem needs a huge dose of calm, especially considering circumstances and ensuing stress! Therefore being the purrfect choice for this particular purroblem.

Dear Catnip Crazy Calvin

Let me jsut say that I feel your pain. There's nothing worse than having your precious catnip stash stolen by thieving neighbourhood cats, especially if mew've been cultivating epically primo strains. But fear not, my feline furiend, for I have a few solutions that might just work.

Firstly, have mew considered setting up a decoy catnip garden? Fill it with fake catnip that looks and smells like the real thing, but doesn't actually have any effect on cats. This way, the thieving cats will be lured away from your real stash, and mew can enjoy your catnip in peace. Plus they'll think what mew're growing is not up to fluff, and move off to catnip pastures new.

Another option is to set up a motion-activated sprinkler system. Cats hate getting wet, so this could be a great way to deter them from entering your garden. Just be sure to turn it off when mew want to enjoy your catnip yourself!

Mew could always try talking to the other cats in your neighbourhood. Maybe they're just jealous of your amazing catnip garden and don't realize how much they're upsetting mew. A little bit of feline diplomacy could go a long way.

If all of the above fails, my last resort solution is this: move your growing area underground, The B Team can assist mew with a moderately cheap bunker installation with an impenetrable A.I. security system, and mew can have specialised grow rooms for your different catnip varieties. 

Also, once mew are established, mew can set up a shop selling your epic greens to the local cats, and maybe offer a distribution network with discounts for high sellers, this is a great incentive for entrepreneurial felines. And this way mew get to be in control of the entire operation, make great profits and all those thieving felines suddenly become your employees, plus mew are essentially putting more wealth into the community which in turn will benefit everypawdy.

If mew want to enquire about a bunker, just contact Parsley for more details at: 00 07-BUNKERS-FOR-MEW 

I hope these suggestions help, Catnip Crazy Calvin. Remember, never give up on your catnip dreams!

Yours most sincerely

Dr. Basil
