Week in Review

This week on Kikolani, I shared my exciting pictures from last weekend’s Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas.

The next part of the Thesis Customization series is a work in progress – it’s turning into a lot longer post than expected. I should have it all finished by next week.

Cats Getting High on Catnip

For all cat owners out there, here’s an interesting look at what happens to cats who get a fair amount of natural catnip.

Kristi, is it my imagination or is FF getting bigger? This is going to take awhile. You got me with the cat video, I’m a long time cat lover. Thanks for the link and all the great resources.

Wow, the cats in the video definitely look like they’re smoking weed! I guess natural catnip to cats is like weed to humans. Speaking of which, I think I know what’s up with one of my client’s neighbor’s cat. She acts just like that and keeps rubbing herself against everything she sees. Probably getting an OD of catnip!

I agree with Jonathan, Fetching Friday is showing some growing muscles here. Which I’m really happy about. Thanks again for the mention, and by the way, you really made me think at Hemingway with that cat video. I don’t know if you know, but Ernest was a big cat lover and one of the things he was doing while living in Cuba, during his last years, was to feed his cats with a lot of love, caring, understanding, and… catnip :-) ) You can red more about that – and a lot of other stuff – in his last novel, “Islands In The Stream”.

Another great job Kristi. I’m going to start billing you for the hours I spend on those links. Some are so good it’s easy to get lost for a while. I especially like the ‘Adorable sleeping positions’. Probably because my daughter is having my fourth Grandson soon :)

What a video, I have no idea about such behaviors from cat though. A new discovery besides all the great links as usual. ^^ I enjoyed some of the photography this time from the list, also the resourceful compilation of the tools we could use. The authors from respective articles sure have put in lots of efforts. =)
