Thread: Catnip problems...

My cat has been pretty cool lately, so I thought I would reward it with a little catnip. This herb grows wild everywhere back home, but I didn't know where to find some in Thailand. I went to a number of pet stores to buy a box, but the vendors looked at my like I was crazy. They didn't have a clue about what I wanted.

And on a touchy note: Thai pet stores are totally biased toward dogs. They have all types of clothing and dog toys. But, almost nothing for cats except for food. However, that rant should be put aside for now. I am really on a quest for cat nip.

My next step, was to try to grow some cat nip on my own. But, nobody out there seems to have any seeds. The herb should be able to survive in Thailand. Why is it so difficult to track down? I thought that I might be able to locate some catnip tea at one of the Chinese medical shops. So far no luck. Is there a Thai word for "catnip". Does anybody know where I can find some for my cat?

Let me see what I can do...

Ken, how would you feel about adopting another cat? KingWilly's cat is looking for a new home.

^ yeah ! wot he said i was just opening up to post that!

I don't think I can take your cat KW the missus wants it but I am a bit worried about it.

NOt sure how long I will be staying here.

Not even sure if it would like the garden if it is a house cat.

Just spark one up ken and blow it into the cats nose. Sabai Louey.

I can't. I just found out I have to find a new place to live by the end of the month. It is sort of a disaster, really. My new neighbor and I spent a lot of time and energy fixing up our yard. I must have put in over 50 hours of hard physical labour in (moving pots, lifting plants, constructing flower beds, digging tree wells, brick laying and other stone work). I am talking serious landscaping. My neighbor painted his house and spent big bucks on bamboo curtains and other supplies to improve his house. We saw this as an investment because we enjoyed spending time in the yard.

The landlord also saw the beauty in all our home improvements. Therefore, she turned around and sold the property. It wasn't even on the market for more than four days. I came home yesterday and a group of strange Thais were hanging around my yard. They had opened up all the doors to our apartment and were walking around inside. Nobody mentioned any of this in advance. The landlady never mentioned a single word about selling the place, she even allowed my neighbor to move in earlier this month without telling him. Now she is driving around town with a big smile on her face, and we are stuck trying to find a new place to move into.

Shit like this makes me want to start applying for jobs in Japan.

Considering the story a told above, I think I need it more than my cat does.
