I know it’s spring because our cat is a bit more kooky than usual. Blame it on those warm breezes wafting through the open window, beckoning her outdoors to play…but she can’t because she’s an indoor kitty (sorry, Peanut). Nevertheless, my daughters think her frequent pouncing and jumping into mid-air before barreling down the hall is a riot. But I know she’d much rather be outdoors soaking up the sun and fresh air, and I feel a little guilty that I’m such a stickler for keeping her housebound (we live in woodsy setting across from a pond, and we fear that, if given the chance, she’d head out the door and never look back. Plus, I’m afraid of a resident hawk who’d swoop down and make her his dinner). Since Peanut can’t quite enjoy the full outdoor experience of rolling in the grass and stretching her limbs, my older daughter thinks our kitty is deserving of a special treat (I wonder where she gets this philosophy from…). So, to fulfill my duties as a caring mom, we’re investing in some catnip, but not any ordinary kind. DuneCraft’s new line of Garfield-themed terrariums gets my girls in on the action of offering our beloved kit a sweet treat. Garfield Crazy Catnip, Garfield Goofy Grass and Garfield Catnip Garden
offer plenty of opportunities for kids to make snacks for their favorite feline friend, and watch the fruits of their labor. It’s also a great way to get them motivated to start planning this year’s vegetable garden. As for Peanut, she’s just happy to have her own little greens to nibble on…
In a Nutshell: Dog may be man’s best friend, but if you’ve got a kitty–and kiddies– in your life, invest in these catnip-making kits for a fun activity for all.
