These Ads Are Killing Me

 Every time I turn around, be it on TV or online, I am encountering another Father's Day ad.

Thank goodness it will only continue for another couple of weeks. The repeated reminders are brutal.

P. S. I did a little date calculating, after discovering that the current version of the Windows 10 calculator has this feature, and discovered that the day on which I was exactly 21,000 days old was also the day of my dad's funeral.

Nip-heads

 

Well, we've got ourselves a couple of nip-head kitties! 😹😹

 

If you follow the page for the kitties Cole and marmalade, you might have seen their post over the weekend where someone sent them a box of their favorite toys, catnip bananas. Pics were included of the kitties enjoying their presents, and a chewy.com link was provided for those of us who would like to give our own kitties these toys.

 

So I took a look at the item, and they are cloth bananas stuffed with primo catnip. I thought, "Sure thing, I bet my guys would love these", and I ordered two.

 

I was surprised when it was delivered today. Darn, Chewy is fast! 😊 We brought the parcel in when I arrived home from work. Then we put it next to the front door because we were bringing some other items in, too.

 

Fast-forward maybe 10 or 15 minutes, when I went to retrieve the parcel from the living room so I could give the cats the toys. Merlin had beaten me to it, and was bunny-kicking the bubble wrap envelope, lol. When I took custody of the envelope, it was also all wet, so he had been licking it to within an inch of its life, as well.

 

I opened the envelope, removed the tags from the two bananas, and gave each kitty a nip banana. WELL! Pandemonium ensued, in the form of grabbing and shaking, licking, biting, bunny kicking, face-rubbing, and more. 

 

Mark hadn't seen them get this bonkers over toys, ever, but I don't think they ever got a toy with THIS much fresh catnip in it. Pretty much every toy for cats is labeled as being infused with catnip, but I must say, that utterly pales in comparison to the effects of a cloth banana filled with nothing BUT catnip.

I have a couple of Very Happy Kitties. I will keep an eye out just to make sure that, if they decide to play Wrestle My Brother while stoned out of their gourds, they don't get overly rambunctious. Otherwise, methinks I can predict how the cats will be entertaining themselves this evening. 😂😂😹😹
