A brief account of Isis' bday party:
In attendance: 3 cats, 3 humans
Isis had a "cake" reminiscent of the Nightmare Before Xmas - cat food decorated with 9 dried fish heads, which she (reluctantly) shared with the other felines. The humans had a (veggie) Thai feast to honor Isis' Siamese heritage.
Her presents included a raver cat toy that lights up like a xmas tree, a cosmic catnip alpine scratcher, and a string on a stick. That cat is a string FIEND.
We blew catnip bubbles, which delighted the simple humans and captivated the kitties - they chased them enthusiastically. Orgiastically, even. A bubble offering was made to Bast, as catnip is sacred to Her.
After the people went to bed, the cats continued the party: they tore open the plastic bag containing the dried catnip that's sprinkled inside the corrugated scratching ramp. There was herb EVERYWHERE.
Intoxicating and enchanting, and interesting how the cats like the dried commercial nip better than the fresh home grown...

I worked under a certified herbalist for a year and a half in her herb/"new age" shop, then in a garden center for two seasons, and now I work at an organic herb farm
here in East Tennessee and am looking into getting certified as an herbalist myself.
I have yet to grow catnip out of a container because I know it is in the mint family and can get out of hand reaaal fast.
