Chinese for "lion".

something is a concentrate of a cat-nip tea; I wrote them and
found out. Mei-mei has the same bag of "something".

| Thanks, Cal, that's reassuring to know! I had some really grim visions
trucking thru my head about analogs to glue or benzine, brain-damaging
highs.
There's a thing called a "Teddy Mouse" that's very similar in concept,
though apparently stuffed with conventional dried catnip flakes. I got
one this past summer just for a lark and the furballs loved it so well
I promptly bought another!

| That's reassuring for me, as well (because I've purchased a
variety of 'catnip'-type toys for my two kitties over the
years.)
My cats are older now (8 1/2 and 11 years) so they aren't quite
as spry as they once were (although my 11 year old recently
passed his yearly physical with the comment that he is in GREAT
SHAPE for an old guy -- my son says, "Yeah, you'd almost think
he was a *10* year old cat, rather than an 11 year old cat,
he looks so good!" :-))
However, I remember buying a 'catnip mouse' toy on a rubber
string and tying the string to a doorknob (and watching my
then 1 year old cat leap up and attack that thing for what seemed
like a week non-stop.)
They do like their toys. :-)
Kitties are fun to watch at any age (toys or no toys,) alright!

| we once brought home a "Marty Mouse" from the grocery store. It was a
little stuffed mouse with catnip flakes in the batting. It promptly got
renamed to "Martyr Mouse" after its rear end got chewed off. <grin>

Thanks for confirming that it's "OK"! Mr Jinx will get his "great
fun and exercise" - even without my supervision. (I was kinda wary
just leaving it out, when I really didnt know :')

| re: "Teddy Mouse"
Yeah - my furball loved it, too; in fact he loved it to death
all over the house. . .of course, at 20+ pounds, he does have
a tendency to break his toys, including the live ones he finds
from time to time outside. I don't mind that so much as his
expectation that I fix 'em when they "break". . .
