Je crie, donc je suis

I’ve been seeing a homeopathic doctor who recommended that I drink an infusion of fennel seeds every night. I rolled my eyes at first, but I’m actually enjoying it. However, Louis Catorze seems to be enjoying it more because, as the infusion brews, he approaches the mug and nuzzles it. 

Oui, Mesdames et Messieurs: Catorze likes to get high on fennel, in the same way that most normal cats do with catnip. Once again, whilst we know that this isn’t normal, it’s probably still not the weirdest thing about Catorze. 

Here he is, in the zone. (We don’t know which zone. Just … not the same one as the rest of us.)

Apologies for the dramatic music, from whatever we were watching on TV. The fennel snort wasn’t that dramatic in reality.

    I’ll ask my cats about fennel!

      Please do! It would be funny if one liked it and the other didn’t.

    There is a wildlife rehabber in Tennessee who has 2 bobcats who LOVE fennel bulbs and greens like other cats love some ‘nip. 🥰

    I do hope those infusions of fennel seeds help both Louis and you 🐈‍⬛ . Does Cat Daddy intend to plan some fennel in your yard? Its anise-like scent is more enjoyable than the one of catnip 😺.

      We did have it in our garden but it died. We must get some more!

        If Louis likes to get high on fennel, you effectively should plant a new one and try to take care of this in such a way it stays alive 🙂 .

    Not sure why a cat would like fennel seeds. What is it good for? I put a blend of flax, chia, and hemp seeds in my daily smoothie.

      Good for digestion, apparently.

          Yes although, to be truthful, I’m throwing so many things at the problem that I couldn’t be sure that the improvement is down to the fennel …

            It can’t hurt either way.

    You really must put an age restriction on posts like this! Little Neo, who only just discovered catnip, is now mewling about his desire for fennel.

      It’s not my fault! The Mothership must have beamed the message to him.

    I never heard of cats liking fennel, but then I checked online, and perhaps Louis knows what is best for him. It says

    It may aid in digestion and provide vitamins A and C, along with calcium and potassium.

      He also likes bathroom bleach, so 🤷‍♀️.

    I’m curious. What’s the infusion for?

      To help digestion (I hope!).
