Not every cat gets \high\" from catnip. If the cat doesn't have a specific gene"

Stinky the Cat gets high on life. And wet cat food from the can served up on a spoon on her special stool. I think the "served" part is the key word here.

Stinky the Cat also likes to sleep on my jeans after they come out of the wash. Drives me nuts.

Spanish-Jewish folklore recounts that Adam’s first wife, Lilith, became a black vampire cat, sucking the blood from sleeping babies. This may be the root of the superstition that a cat will smother a sleeping baby or suck out the child’s breath.

I know when Stinky the Cat falls asleep on my face when watching the TV, I often awake thinking I'm being smothered as well. Wonder if that is some sort of plan? I don't think so. She knows I fill her bowl. Or the spoon on the cat stool.

I once saw the movie "Incredible Journey". I'm pretty sure Stinky the Cat is smarter than that Siamese. She would probably just get on a train and come back home as soon as she figured out the schedule and track-delay times. Around here we call that "Amtrak-traveling".

A cat's whiskers are thought to be a kind of radar, which helps a cat gauge the space it intends to walk through.

I'm pretty sure we covered this already. Are you getting tired? It's Saturday night...
