and speakin' of flittin'....

And speakin' of flittin'...

Okay, I guess that for some of you, that kinda came out of the blue.  But if you remember, I've started flittin' over on Bluesky.

Flittin'...  Skeetin'...  Whatever.

MOUSES!

But anyway...

But anyway, like I was sayin', I've been flittin' like a butterfly over on Bluesky.

'Cept, of course, I'm a keyboard flitter and not an actual flitter, on account of my not havin' butterfly wings.

'Cause as you all know, I am a cat.

MOUSES!

But all this talk of butterflies flittin' and stuff, reminded me how in the summer, there were butterflies flittin' here and there, amongst my nip plants.

They - the butterflies, I mean - do seem to like spendin' time with the catnip, as do the bees, although I've never seen any of 'em actually nipped.

I don't think.

MOUSES!

Although truth be told, once I get into the catnip, myself, I might not be able to tell.

MOUSES!

So anyway...

So anyway, I thought I should tell you what Peepers gave me the other week.

No, not my Bluesky account.  YES, she did open that up.  But today I'm gonna tell you 'bout somethin' ELSE she gave me, as well.

Are you ready?  Are you sittin' down?

Peepers gave me...

A nip bed.

MOUSES!

No, a nip bed is not a knitted or sewn bed stuffed to the brim with catnip.

Although now that I think about it, a knitted or sewn bed stuffed to the brim with the nip would be grand.  I'll have to mention that to the peep.

Or Santa.

Or anyone else who might be listenin'.

MOUSES!

But back to the subject at paw: Peepers has given me one of her new raised beds so that I can grow even more of the nip.  And the best part is, it's filled with catnip already!  Yup, there are dozens of the little nippers (pun intended) already growin' there.

MOUSES!

You see, last year, Peepers built and filled some new raised beds.  Three of 'em were sixteen square paws, whatever that means.  And one of those sixteen square paw beds JUST HAPPENED to end up with some catnip seed gettin' ACCIDENTALLY scattered 'mongst the calendula and borage and stuff.

Well...

Well the  ACCIDENTALLY scattered nip seeds started - unbeknownst to the peep - to grow.

Then a couple weeks back, Peepers was preppin' her beds for the winter and realised gettin' rid of all those nip plants, whose roots are now well and truly established - on account of my havin' tended those plants I ACCIDENTALY planted, with such tender lovin' care - was just too time consumin' to do.

Or somethin' like that.

So now...

So now, Peepers has GIVEN the whole bed to Saffy and me.

Can you believe it?

MOUSES!

Yup, my catnip plantation is expandin', for sure.

I am gonna be so nipped, ALL of next year.

MOUSES!

And remember, you can now find me over on Bluesky.  I'm easy to find.  Just search for Seville the Cat or @nerissathecat 'cause that, my dear pals, is where I'm now at.

MOUSES!
