This is going to sound strange but earlier this morning when I made a cup of peppermint tea Chuckie was scratching up at the counter like he wanted someting from up there. The only thing up there was the empty tea box so I let him sniff at it and he seemed interesed. So I put in on the floor so he can check it out and he smelled it a few and left it.
The when I turned back around Stormy was was going nuts with it. She'd stick her head inside the box and the box got stuck to her face a couple of times!
It was sooo funny! Then Winnie came along and started doing the same thing, only she also started rolling around on the floor like it was catnip!


So now I'm wondering if peppermint leaves are in the family as catnip.

Yes cat nip is part of the mint family.

I have to zip my bag up with my chewing gum inside because Rosie bites through the packet!.

She once got hold of some and licked them to bits, but not anymore!
