Al Jaeger gave us some catnip from his garden in deerfield. i laid it out to dry in the studio while we were traveling to seagrove. i spent an hour or so removing the stems and de-seeding it. cats love fresh, organic catnip... it has a whole different look and smell to it. my sister-in-law gi-gi is a catnip grower in alaska, matanuska thunderstruck, is the name of her company. my cats have always gone nuts when she sends packages to them!
i think when we are settled i will get out my sewing machine and make some catnip mice... although sophie loves it when i sprinkle it on the floor and she can eat some and roll in it.
