He was very confused when the other cats got all excited because he didn’t see what the point was.

Cats are cool.

Dogs are social and keenly aware of cause and effect, something cats seem to ignore.

Cats routinely ignore you.

Dogs watch your every move and judge their behavior thereby.

Cats make good neighbors and dogs are freakier.

*i loves me some puppies and some kitties so i’m not choosing sides*

I’ve never tried to grow it for them. They’d probably demolish it if I did. Furthermore, some cats have the same reaction to rosemary! I bought some as an herb plant to put,fresh, into food. No such luck. My cats ate it! I’m not making this up!

Like you Gray I have had to fence it off with Chicken wire and dole out a bud or two every so often – gotta plant more next year 🙂

We act as the candy man for them, doling out a bowlful every so often. Seems to work.

As soon as the neighborhood addicts found a new plant, they would “rub, sniff, and chew” it to a stump. I have a feeling that the planter in the video will soon resemble a wasteland and the kitties will be off to the next garden.
