I cleared the 'cat cupboard' out recently - stuff that was thrown away was out of date samples of dry cat food that I never got round to trying the boys on, treat sticks, open bags of treats. Now they might have been out of date in human terms ie best before a few months ago but I bet to a cat they still smell pretty tempting. I also threw away an old Yeowww catnip toy from the Purrs shop. The stitching had split after months of abuse and I couldn't be bothered to fix it as they do have others to play with.
Anyway, it's rubbish day today so I put the rubbish out last night. This morning I discovered that a
cat has ripped the bag open (not mine as they don't go out the front). Anyway... treat sticks, sample foods, bag of treats all still intact. Yeoww catnip ball had been extracted from the sack, moved halfway down the drive and was well and truly sucked to death
