Tiny (above) glares in disgust at one of the neighborhood toms (below), drunk as a skunk on a bit of dried catnip we'd set out for our own amusement this morning. As you may guess, we are easily amused, but Tiny was not.
Her fans know that our sweet tiny girl only has eyes for her own true love, Earl Grey, and despises all other felines who make the mistake of entering her territory. She let this one go with just the evil eye, but when another tom dropped by and tried to approach the bench, she dispatched him with a ferocious lunge and life-or-death dash across the yard to the end of her tether.
Update: Goomp tickles our funny bone in the comments:
I believe your yard is known as Sisu's Bar and Grill to the local cat population and Tiny as the bouncer who keeps law and order.

I've heard about catnip for many years and saw it in a pet store while visiting the US and wondered why we don't have it here. Then I found out that Australian cats do not react to catnip. Sorry, puss!

Depends upon the cat. Some 'mercan ones don't react either.

I believe goomp has hit the nail on the head. Best regards from Rusty and Buddy - both of whom indulged in some of the "weed" this past weekend and a good time was had by all chez Gayle!
