We are ginger and white brothers and enjoy sharing our adventures together walking in the fields. Sadly Eric left for the Rainbow Bridge on 19.03.2013. I joined my brother on 1st May 2017 so now we are together again for all time.

Who's Mousie?

Eric: A couple of weeks ago the Kitties at the Katnip Lounge sent me some valerian root because I said how much I liked the valerian marinated mousies they had sent us before. Nip doesn't do anything for me but valerian is a different matter completely. The valerian root had a crinkly ball and a spotty mouse marinating in it. I had been chewing on this ball but by the time mum got the camera, I had stopped.

The KL Kitties had said the package was for me but the next thing I knew, Flynn had stolen my spotty mousie.

He was chewing and drooling on it.

Then he even had the nerve to start bunny kicking it. Mum told me not to worry because she would put my favourite red mousie in the packet to marinate. Thanks mum.
A bit later mum was getting the washing out of the laundry basket and she told dad his socks were stinking. He said they shouldn't be, and she said they were and it was enough to knock you out. Then she saw Flynn had put the crinkly ball in the bath, and it was the valerian root she could smell.

Eric - It's nice of you to share your Valerian root Mousie with your brother.

Have a great weekend if you ever get your mousie back.

Purrs,

That was a smooth move to put that crinkly ball in the water. We are going to have to give that Valarian root a try too. Some of us do not care a bit about nip. Have a fantastic week end.

Oh wow. We are so jealous. Valerian root - we loves it. But we cannot get it here. Äiti has promised to find some for us, and even went into a special cat stuff shop in Amsterdam and they didn't sell it!
I am not so sure I would generously share my valerian mousie with anyone....

HURRAH! We're so glad you are enjoying your valerian. Mommy loathes the smell, so Daddy distributes a little out after she goes to bed--and we all sleep like LOGS after that!
