In Memory of Precious

One of the family-run business partners sadly succumbed to the effects of kidney disease in mid December. Precious, a former feral cat, was 17 years old and lived a very pampered life, after having survived 7 months as a feral. In the early 90’s, I came upon Precious and littermate Shawnee in a colony of ferals at an industrial site in northern Virginia. Little did I know then that my experience with this colony would turn into a long love affair with the feral cat and would involve advocating for trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs as the only humane way to manage feral cats, improve the quality of their lives, and safeguard wildlife. Precious always agreed with that message! In retrospect, the 17 years with Precious went all too fast. She will be missed.

Catnip Facts

Catnip, a plant in the mint family, is officially known as Nepeta Cataria.
Romans used it thousand of years ago for cooking & healing. The first evidence of Catnip in the New World was in 1712 in Massachusetts.
Genetics is a major reason cats react to Catnip. The enticing odor triggers certain nerves within the cat’s brain.
The fresher the Catnip, the more reactive the cat.
Not all cats react the same to Catnip. Some cats roll and rub on the Catnip, loudly purr, eat it, and/or exhibit inebriated behavior; others ignore it altogether!
Catnip is harmless and non-addictive.
Wild cats — lions, leopards, pumas — react the same to Catnip as domestic cats.
Cats can become immune to Catnip — it’s best to give Catnip in small doses: remove Catnip toys after 10-15 minutes of play-time and reintroduce a week or so later. Try not to leave catnip out 24/7.
