I was messing around with the video mode on my digital camera and caught my cat, [Pepper](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB6P6SwX81g), having a good ol’ time with her favorite catnip-stuffed sock. I just had to stick it up on YouTube and share it with everyone. Now that’s what I call a happy cat!

Anyone else got some video of their feline overlords to share?

Whoa, look at her go!

Are you sure it wasn’t crack in that sock?

You have no idea. When she’s in the mood for that sock, it’s “Hello, sailor!”

From the typical reactions of cats, I’d say it’s closer to Kitty Weed. 😉

We have a few catnip-crazed pussycats. We call their herb of choice ‘catnabis’.

That’s adorable!

May I share a video of my little [Horton](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjqQ7Gbryd8) sucking at a teddy bear?

He was a shelter kitten, probably lost his mom too early, so he goes at that bear for a half hour at a time, when he feels like it.

Heh. Shiva does the same thing, except he suckles on _me_. More precisely, on the shoulder of whatever shirt I happen to be wearing at the time. I don’t mind the wet spot, but his claws are sharp; the area near where he suckles is covered with tiny scratches.

Still campaigning for “nice guy” status. So here’s an early morning bump for some kitty vid.

I should sprinkle some fresh catnip on my kitties’ cat-scratcher box and film the results. Last night was hilarious with those three!
