Kitties and Lemon Balm
I harvested some of my lemon balm the other day. From some reason you would think it was cat nip, not lemon balm. (Makes great tea btw)
Circling around..yummy At the back of the table Teegan is licking his lips. He had just grabbed a stem and bit into it. I think he liked it. Dayle decided to go explore it closer after I hung it to dry.

#1 TT is trying to figure out how his sister got up that high and if he could join her. He didn't.
More of Tinka. She is such a sweetie! What, more pics? Hi Mom!

Isn't anything put on the table fair game to eat?

I take it it smells and tastes nothing like lemon then...
Hey I was just thinking, would you be interested in getting collars for all your guys? And tags? For the indoor & the catuary gang too? I found a few collars sitting around here (that I just change for colour, nothing wrong with them) and I'm sure others do the same too and have spares sitting around.... I think it would be great so that if they were to get out someone would easily recognize that they are yours (say all the tags are one colour and same shape)! Just wondering cause I'd love to help out with a project like that... I know a place online to get tags for $5, shipping and engraving included.

That is so sweet of you to offer that!! I keep the collars off the ones in the catuary though. I don't like the thought of one getting caught up in something and the collar not releasing. I have seen it happen. Thank Gawd I was there to get the cat. With the trees and climbing onto the roof I just don't want to take the chance. But thank you so much for thinking of it!

Ok... I can understand that,you can't watch the catuary cats all the time and some of the cheaper 'release' collars don't release I've seen it here too, so there is one brand from petsmart that I get because they always let go (a little too easily in Fagan's case but at least I know they work!)
I'll bring you my other ones next time I'm in Grimsby... and I still have that huge bag o toys for the kitties too!

I LOVE Dale's markings.
Lemon balm? I thought cats didn't like citrusy stuff?

At the other end of that area is a wardrobe. She get up on it from the window ledge and then climbs on top of the valance and balances herself. It doesn't have a top on it. Just the sides. The other day there were three of them up there!

TulipRoxy, you are fairly new. You will find all of my little ones pretty much look alike. That's because they are all related one way or another. 4 mommas, lots of babies.
Dayle (gotta remember I changed the spelling of her name ) is actually a classic tabby. But you are right, she has gorgeous markings.

She is very dainty. Lighter than the rest of the tabbies. Her chest is almost blond/white. Very pretty

Oooo, i'm a big lemon balm fan too (and so is Misery )
Your kitties are soooooooo beautiful. I love the expression on the one in front in the first picture - like "what the heck??... oh I guess i'll just try a bite" Good to know that lemon balm is OK for kitties too, I wasn't sure. I've got the lemon thyme and lemon basil to go with it too!
