On Saturday, I was lying in my special spot on the back of the couch (this is the couch from our new living room furniture that Mommy and Daddy bought just a few months ago) enjoying the sun and considering taking a nap when Mommy came in with some green stuff in her hands. What could it be? She handed some to Fagin.... 
Fagin was lying on our love seat and seemed very interested in whatever Mommy handed him. "Hmmmmm," I thought. "It's green and leafy and came in with Mommy from the backyard and she said she was going out to our garden. What could it be? Could it be...." 
OUR NIP!! It was leaves from our very own catnip plants that Mommy and Daddy planted in the garden in our backyard - remember this picture? NIP NIP NIP!!! And Mommy said the plants are doing very well and we now have tons of our very own fresh nip!!
I had to have some! Mommy had put some on a paper towel on the table and well, I AM a pirate so I stole it for myself. Oh it is so good!! Very good stuff!!
Mommy took this picture right when I began to nip out. The nip was so good that I didn't even notice her taking this picture. Oh fresh nip is awesome! For this Mancat Monday I say that real mancats love the nip!!PS: If you are wondering why there are no pictures of Dante having the fresh nip, it is because he was sleeping at the time. Don't worry though - Mommy gave him some later and he loves it too!!
