Links Broken Leg.... still

[cat nap]

Valerian is a sedative; however, if you look online about its treatment in cats, you'll mostly find reports of it being a stimulant. I find this odd and extremely misleading. It's definitely a calmative and sedative.

Catnip does indeed affect different cats differently, and it also affects the same cat differently at different times. For example, Brian would roll gleefully around in piles of it and slobber all over toys until soggy rags, but the bowl I left in the kitchen for him to self-regulate was used to take the edge off whatever was concerning him, be that mental or physical, and chill him out. He would just have a mouthful here and there, as needed. Incidentally, catnip is psychoactive and mildly hallucinogenic, as is the humble spider plant, which cats are also attracted to nibble on. Intrepid psychonauts, cats....

Thanks for the above explanation @brian007. It's good information to know.

I would think you will see less and less of this "odd" leg bending with your Link by the time May rolls around.

How is Link's leg doing, Kieka?

He still has a minor limp and is holding it oddly. But it seems to be less then before and I am hoping for a slow and steady continuing of his recovery.
