1 New Toy + Catnip= Craziness

Yesterday while at Walmart we bought the cats a new toy. We thought it was a cute toy. Once home the cats just sniffed at it and looked at us like "what is this?" Once we put catnip all around the toy and dipped part of the toy in the catnip the cats were all about the toy.
Here's Sophie-cat rolling around in the catnip. It's funny watching her try to roll around beause of her size. She can almost get on her back, but not all the way.
Here are all 5 of them sniffing around at the cat nip. As you will notice Sophie-cat (top left) and Bonk (bottom middle) are in pure ecstasy. The other thee are still eating some of the catnip. It was a real hoot watching them get "high". Most of them slept rest of the afternoon.

Tomorrow is the big day. The "Fix-it-Guys" will be here at 7am to start all the work we are having done. We are thinking it will take about 3-4 days as long as there are no major problems. We have all our supplies, the bathroom is cleaned out completly and all the light fixtures marked as to where they go in the house. I am still trying to figure out what to do with the cats. One (Brady) will run out the door everytime it is opened. So, we are going to have to lock him up somewhere. I am thinking we will just lock everyone up to make sure they stay out of the way. Ben and Sophie-cat will hide the entire day. They usually do that when someone is in the house. The others are known to get friendly and I would hate for them to get hurt in anyway. The dog will be in her room. Most likely with Brady. Let's just hope she (Sophie) doesn't go to town on the liter box that will be in with them.

Our weekend was so good. It was so relaxing and calming. We rented three movies yesterday and have watched two of them. We watched "A History of Violence" and "Get Rich or Die Trying". A history of violence was not that good. They did however have some pretty revealing sex scenes. We were like, "wow". Get Rich or Die Trying which is based on 50 cents life was excellent. We weren't too sure of it, but it really was excellent. Again, Terence Howard was in this movie. That guy has gone from a nobody to being in some big movies this year. (Hustle & Flow and Crash)

I am off to take the before pictures of the house. I am so excited for how the bathroom is going to look.

That is so funny. I hadn't thought of that. Get a good look at the picture because getting all 5 cats in the same picture only happens once every 100 years. :)

Funny how people are fine with giving cats cat nip (very simply the "Weed" of the cat world) but they wouldnt want people to smoke it. It should be illegal. Cat nip is a drug, simple as that.

People are so strange with animals: We think an animal can be put down to end suffering, but not people....
