Just Say Meow
*****************
I went to the evil city for three days
and asked Tasers best fan to feed him
its Altssa, the one who brought me
both baby Jinky and little Taser
and I know shhe loves them
so she was the ideal pick for
designated kittern minder
As I was packing to go away
I pulled out some extra strengtg
super strenfrg carnip I keep in the frezer,
to keep ot away from Taser
bit i was bringing some as gifts
to city friends cats
who never experience catnip
somehow while I was packing
taser swiped the main bag
and ran away with it and hid it
I never noticed and hugged him goodbye
and left him alone for the day t
till Alyssa could stop by after work and feed him
h was alone all day withb a big bag of catnip
when she stopped in she noticed
he was acting strange- a little more
hyper than usual
but she omagined he was just lonely
and was just showing off
she stoppd nty in the moring to feed him
and he was even crazier
running all over the house
in and outside
he never stopped running
even after she put his food down
when she came by after work to feed him
he was absolutely insane-
like a rocket
running jumping
knocking stuff over
when she was joined by her bf Matt
they both noticed he was very insane
and tried to calm him down
he just wouldn;t accept comfort
and insisted on running even wilder
matt tried to catch him
but it was impossible
when it started to rain
Taser was even more excited
he took off his collar amd ran outside
to dance naked in the backyard
Matt & Alyssa thought this was
very unusual but were powerless to stop it
when i got back from the evil city
Taser was pretty much out of his mind
I followed him around till I found him
in the hall closet with what was left of
a huge bag of catnip
he had eaten a years supply
in three days
at least that explained why he was so crazed
Matt stopped by to tell me
my cat had gone insane
while he and Alysaa were minding him
and that he was sorry if it was something they did
but he didn;y think they did anything untowards
I explained how I found tasers stash of catnip all ripped up in the closet and assumed
he had stolen it from me three days prior
and been on a bender ever since
I swept the catnip crumbs up
and flushed them down the toilet
Taser was confused but hunfty
I saw him drift off into a drugged up sleep
and he slept like a piece of wood
for the next 24 hrs
he awoke groggy and puffy eyed very thirsty
but glad to see me
he missed foing to the lake because he was too tired
ya tired from running a series of
4 minute miles indoors for that last three days
I know it was super potent catnip
because i harvested it myself'
and just a pinch was enough
to send a bored old city housecat
into minor ecstacy
a vup was enough to make
a certain red haired kitten into a
streaking meteor
of manic energy
I know he loves catnip now
and i will have to take
extra caution
to hide it from him
too much of a good thing
is still a good thing
