How To Manage Your Catnip Plant

My cat, Patches, does a pretty good job of
managing his live catnip plant. My other cats
ripped their up right away but Patches takes his
time with a catnip plant.

At first he just jumps up on the window sill by
his plant and takes a few sniffs. Then he lays
down in the sun in the window and sleeps awhile.
When he wakes up he walks up to it and nibbles a
few leaves off and slowly chews them. Then he
strolls over to the bed and sprawls out and
rolls around some. Then he puts his legs and
paws up in the air and rolls around some more.
After that he sleeps awhile more. Having had a
good snooze he comes out and asks for something
interesting to eat. He dines intently, savoring
each flavorful bite and then hops up on his
favorite chair and sleeps some more. The next
time he gets in the window by his plant he
ignores it at first He just eyes it some from
the corners of his eyes. He lays in the sun and
looks down out over the neighborhood and watches
the action. Then he walks up and sniffs his plant
again then jumps down and runs around some. A few
hours later he sniffs the leaves again and takes
a few nibbles off the leaves. He chews slowly
while looking out the window again. Then he goes
back to the bed for some more sprawling and
rolling around. He rolls his eyes all around.
Then he swats at the air with his claws
protruding. I don't know what he swats at. It
looks to me like there is nothing there but air.
Beats me. After he sleeps some more he comes back
out to snack on his bowl of dry cat food. It is
always there for him. He sleeps some more in his
favorite chair with the spongy covered cushion.
Afterwords he has a big drink of fresh cold
water and has me pet him for awhile. Then he
goes back to the sunny window by his catnip.

Patches does a good job of managing his cat nip
plant I must say again. My other cats chewed up
their plants right away but Patches makes his
last. He hits on it only a few times every
couple of days. It lasts him several months. He
prunes it carefully by nibbling sporadically. I
think he really does an impressive job of taking
care of his stash. I am proud of him. I couldn't
do better myself.
