Just pulled all the catnip

[Anonymous]

Had to put our cat to sleep this morning. Squamous cell carcinoma in his sinuses. We gave him palliative care until we couldn't. My heart is breaking. Pulled all the catnip out of frustration. I can't look at it.

Ah. I couldn't figure out why...I love mine. But so do my cats - they will go outside and just roll in it. Hang in there. Get a pair of kittens when you are ready - I always have at least two cats so I have another one to hug when this happens. He was loved and knew it Hugs.

Sorry for your loss, but catnip is the best plant. It's part of the catmint family which repels termites, mosquitoes and so much more.

PP here - it will come back Catnip is a very good at spreading. And OP - if you need more I have tons!!! Wait..I have tons of catmint not catnip. I can never keep cat nip in the ground - my cats will actually eat it - even the rootball. They love cat mint too but not quite in the same destructive way.

I am so sorry, OP.

Thank you. I had to tell someone and I figured gardeners would understand better than others. It will come back and another cat that needs us will find us. We are the home for misfit toys and they are all loved.

Maybe it was dioxin.

Why would you say this random, unhelpful, cruel crap to someone who is grieving? What kind of a-hole are you? You must be very unhappy.

OP— I’m so sorry. A book that helped me a great deal when we put our dog to sleep is Healing Circles by Joy Davy. On Amazon.
