Help! Horus is Catnip-Proof

We bought some cat toys and Horus is less than impressed. Clearly, little balls with feathers and the fishing pole with dangly stuff are below his pay grade, not to mention beneath his dignity. I bought some catnip spray, and that doesn’t seem to catch the fancy of any of the cats. (Is it possible to have catnip-proof felines?) Tiger and Tobie, however, are having a ball with the fishing pole toy, so it was a good buy. We’ll try again with some real catnip this weekend.

How old is the cat? If the cat is under a year, he may not respond. Or, like others said, some cats simply don’t get into it.

Ma'am = you missed the best one:

Obama’s obsession with Palin reminds me of a saying I learned long ago: Sarah Palin is living rent-free in Obama’s head.
I may have a head full of little people all jabbering simultaneously at times, but none of them belong in someone else’s head. Karl Rove has obviously done brain surgery on Palin, taken one of her little people and implanted her in Obama’s cranium. There, the mini-Sarah is busily ordering all the little Obamas around and effectively preoccupying his verbal editor. Karl Rove, evil neurosurgeon, strikes again. He really is a mad little Machiavelli, full of demonic machinations. We should now have Rovus ex machina.

LOL !!

Right men, confuse the ... cat!

My last kitty was a catnip junkie. My new babies (now 2 yrs) have no interest in catnip at all. Boy cat does, however, go crazy over ketchup - especially if it has had McDonalds fries dipped in it.

Maybe Horus is the kind of cat who prefers to pick his own toys - we bought tons of toys for ours and they would rather steal and empty toilet paper roll, or one of my hair bands.

Thanks! Yes, I should post that one on bloggers...

You can try growing fresh catnip. (Fresh nip is the only kind my boys like). Then, grab a square of aluminum foil, place the nip inside and squish into a ball. The scent of the nip and crackling noise should drive kitty bonkers!
