One Senior Cat’s Experience with Catnip Buds
“Just wanted to let you know that my order arrived in great shape, thank you!!! While the goodies are for our girls for Christmas, my daughter (age 12) and I couldn’t help but try the buds out with them. LOL Have you ever seen a totally dignified 14 year old cat act like a kitten? This white beast of ours did!! Right down to being spread eagle on the floor, rubbing her face on the hardwood! She then decided to chase the younger cat, claws flying…. she always runs FROM the younger cat….” Eddy, Florida
