Niko's tail tends to curl up
when he is happy.
Matatabi (Silvervine) certainly
makes him happy.
And Valerian.
Ah, the stinky & blissful treat.
Ah, the stinky & blissful treat.
Yes, it smells real BAD but Niko loves
this Valerian BonBon toy from Etsy shop.
One day, I got a bag of Valerian root from a
different shop. Kids must love it!
Here is Niko.
Come on. Go roll!
Well, it failed big time.
I think he was having a good dream :-)

Clearly, not every Valerian is blissful.
(But equally stinky!)
That's fine. Just another failed toy
...among many others :-)

One afternoon. I found
Niko napping in his favorite spot.
I think he was having a good dream :-)
On October 25th, Niko turns 8 years old.
Darling Niko, you bring us happiness each
day & every day, and we try our best to do the
same for you. Happy birthday, sweetheart!

Happy early b-day Niko!! I love the tail! When Frodo is happy his goes straight up in the air with a small curl at the top--my guys also like Valerian but it can be hard to find in toys!
ReplyDeleteSilvervine and Valerian? Hmmm I must improve my knowledge of cat herbs
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday cutie! I love the curl in your tail. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat cute pictures ! Rosie too makes an "O" in her tail, but all my cats are not fans of these herbs, they just ignore them !
ReplyDeleteFeliz aniversário Niko!!!
