Jeeves only likes fresh catnip. He'll eat the plant down to its roots, given the chance. He doesn't act oddly once he's had it, but I swear he'd chew through a wall to get to it.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anne, does he twitch at all when he can't have it? Just checking.

No, but if I bring home groceries, he checks out the veggies, just in case.

Up with the sun
How long does dried catnip last? We inherited a ginormous jar when we got Cori, and because we only give them a little bit and only once in a while, it's still half-full three years later. Should we toss it and buy more?

tommyrot, I just caught up. Do you still need the Wall Street Journal article? I have an online subscription.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No thanks, I got it.
From, um, someone who's real name doesn't connect to a Buffista for me....

I was playing with the boss's dog with the laser. She was repeatedly trying to bite the floor to get the red dot. Now the dot is gone and she's trying to dig through the floor to find it....

That was me, tommyrot, but using my work e-mail. I honestly don't even know what shows up in the "From:" header on that thing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Thanks for all the whiskey tips, y'all. Calli, thanks especially for the history. I've decided that instead of a family distillery, the whiskey in question comes from an illegal distillery run by one of the family's tenants, and that they're happy to turn a blind eye in return for access to the stuff.
Which has set me to thinking more about the heroine's cousin's family than I really meant to, or is likely to have any relevance to the story at hand--a lot of the Highland lairds had evicted many of their tenants and enclosed their lands for sheep by then. Were they among them? And which side would their grandparents have been on in the '45? Stuff like that. It wouldn't hurt me to make up my mind, just to clarify what kind of people these are, but that doesn't mean I need to talk about in my book. If I'm not careful, my tightly plotted 400-page romance will turn into a rambly 800-page family saga on me, and that's a much harder first sale.
