Another Friday rolls around and the week is almost over. The snow is melting in spite of -20C temperatures. The sun blazing down seems to warm everything up…including Cow Kitty. hehe 
SHOKO…..BLACK
KALI…..ORANGE
Ellen from 15 and Meowing blog and Annie from McGuffy’s Reader have given us the four fill-ins for the day. Click on the blog hosts name and go visit them….say hi for us. 
I go first this time Shoko.
1. My favorite herb or spice is ……OREGANO. HOW COULD ANYBODY NOT LIKE OREGANO, IT MAKES ONE FEEL LIGHT AS A FEATHER AND JUST A WEE BIT GIDDY. 
2. An herb/spice I dislike is …..DILL. IT SMELLS ODD, IN FACT IT STINKS. NO PROBLEM MOM I WON’T TOUCH YOUR DILL. LET’S PUT IT THIS WAY, I’LL EAT DILL WHEN YOU EAT VALERIAN ROOT. 
3.Lately, I have been working on …..MY STALKING TECHNIQUE. I HEARD THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST STALKING THESE DAYS…..YOU COULD GO TO JAIL. ARE YOU JIVIN’ ME SHOKO? GEESH I’M STARTING TO SOUND LIKE YOU FOR HEAVENS SAKE. 
4.This Winter was …..DIFFERENT. A FEW DAYS ARE COLD AS STINK, WHERE I AM SHIVERING IN MY FURS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO CUDDLE. THEN THE NEXT FEW DAYS ARE MILD. SO NOBODY GETS CLIMATIZED AND WE ALL KEEP FEELING VERY COLD.

my dad said he can’t stand oregano… the mama always says it’s ok and she will uses it anyway….the truth is that my dad confused oregano with thyme and that’s the stuff he dislikes hehehe

He doesn’t like thyme? There is a lemon thyme now that is great on fish. Mom can’t buy it dried, she has to grow it. Then she dries it. Oregano and thyme are perennials, even up here in da north.

My four seem to like most herbs…put it this way, last year they chewed most of the herbs in the garden up…I’m not sure who’s responsible (Ting) but at least they have an educated palate! Charlie says paws crossed you’ll like the Feliway 🙂 xxx

Really? You guys chewed up the herbs. You all sound like Shoko. No tasting or anything dainty just crash into them and devour the slender leaves. All I can say is they must have been tasty.

Shoko and Kali surely would enjoy home-grown catnip. Is there any in the inside garden?

We don’t have an indoor garden. It’s very dark in this house so not many plants. They have three catnip plants outside but they are rather bare right now.

What is the difference between catnip and cat mint? We really don’t know. Maybe its better than catnip. The catnip patch is the first place we head to outside too. It’s so tasty!

It is made by Celestial Seasonings and has a sweet flavor which satisfies my sugar cravings. It contains cinnamon, chicory, carob , ginger, cardamon, black pepper, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla and other natural flavors. You have to let it steep for a while to get the flavor, but the scent of the leftover bag makes the whole room smell good.

My Mom likes most herbs/spices but too much ginger is icky (she says) and cilantro is too strong (she says). Anyway, we have NO herbs around here to play in – Mom does have a little patch of stuff on the side of the house but nothing INTERESTING in there….chocolate mint (what the heck is that?!), lemon verbena, thyme, basil……..she planted catnip for me a few years ago and I just walked right by. Maybe Teddy can get “into” herbs?!?!?! Nice filling in girls – and Shoko – I love your shark hat!

I do like to wander through the herbs seeing if I can miss one and hitting it when I can’t miss it. Catnip is the only herb I like. Mom doesn’t know what to do with lemon verbena. Do you use it as a herb and where would you use it?
Thanks guys I like my shark hat…”.a small bite for cat kind.” MOL
