    • Good Luck

      From catslave October 23, 2007

      Hi! I told my kitties that I was gonna send out Good Luck Clovers today and somehow they thought that was 'code' for catnip! Hey, when you have 25 cats you have to use code words for these things, otherwise you get mobbed! So, the next thing I know, I am tied to a kitchen chair, all my cats are passed out on 'nip and boy am I feeling groovy! And there seems to be a little blue man sitting in the corner saying 'I wuv you'--kinda strange, but no stranger than the green martian on the ceiling--no wonder they keep this stuff for themselves! Anyway purrs from us and be sure to keep the secret about the Good Luck Clovers (it's actually catnip in disguise!)--Laura (feeling groovy)
