About Me

My photo
I am a retired RN with 50 years of experience. My experience spans ICU, ER, Telemetry, Administrative Supervision and Clinical Documentation Integrity. I grew up on a farm in Western Pennsylvania. I didn't have other children close by to play with, so animals became my friends. Although I love and enjoy all animals, cats have always been my favorite. I have lived in Southern California since 1980. My husband and I are coexisting with Fanny. She is the DIVA that inspired my book and this blog. I hope you enjoy reading about my feline friends. I also share some childhood memories which may spark some memories of your own.

The Wonders Of Catnip!


Well, Fanny has some new, fresh catnip.  I had an old stash 
which really wasn't effective so decided to buy some fresh organic catnip.  Big difference.

We had all the anticipated effects.
Craziness > Drooling > Grooming > Sleep


She slept on the floor all night.


I bought the catnip on Amazon.  They give you quite a bit so as long as I keep it dry and sealed, it should last a long time.

Here's some info:


Researchers suspect that catnip targets feline "happy" receptors in the brain. When eaten, however, catnip tends to have the opposite effect and your cat mellows out. Most cats react to catnip by rolling, flipping, rubbing, and eventually zoning out. They may meow or growl at the same time.

Do you give catnip to your cat?   How do they react?
