Catnip
1:15 pm Tue, 23rd March 2004I went shopping on Sunday, and whilst going gaga over the adooorable Golden Retriever puppies in Pets Paradise, I decided to buy Coltrane a new toy. 🙂 So I bought him his first catnip toy ever… its this small plush bird with a few feathers stuck to it (most of which promptly disappeared within the first few hours of play… probably into his stomach).
Anyway, I’ve never tested the effect of catnip on Coltrane before… and boy oh boy, does he love that toy. It hangs from this elastic cord which can be hung from a door frame. At the first introduction he was fascinated with it – he couldn’t stop sniffing it, purring away like a mini motor. He then proceeded to bat at it playfully.. and try to catch it in his paw or mouth. Its really quite amusing to watch him take a flying leap at it, catch it in his mouth only to have it catapult away on its elastic cord as he let go. And then as he turns around to intently watch his prey bounce around, he’ll crouch down, with that pre-attack quiver in the butt, he’ll take another flying leap at it. Hehe. I gotta catch this on video when my parents return. Soo funny!
On nastiness
Thanks to people for your constructive comments. For those who were wondering, no that post was not about me and people making nasty comments on my blog. Not particularly anyway. I’ve had a few smackheads visit every so often, but not enough to really be a bother. It was more about what I’ve seen elsewhere, on other blogs/forums/websites.
So yeh, I’m feeling a bit better about stuff. A rant is a rant yeh? And no, to reiterate myself, I don’t hate men. And I don’t wanna kill all men etc etc. 😛
Girly girl schtuff
In other news… I bought a belt last Friday. I like! Have been wanting to get a “fashion” belt for ages now (I say “fashion” coz it really serves no practical purpose other than to look good.. :P). Its from Miss Shop.. about 2 inches wide and white. Here’s a piccy. 🙂
Anyways, I watched “Maid In Manhattan” for the 2nd time last night.. on dvd. Ahhh its sooo romantic…! *sigh* I love girly movies! I also FINALLY bought “What A Girl Wants” on dvd – on sale as an ex-rental at Video Ezy eastwood. Woohoo! Also saw a few others on sale for $15.95.. like Princess Diaries, 10 Things, Coyote Ugly. But I managed to limit myself to the one dvd.
Speaking of girly movies… I can’t wait for Chasing Liberty, The Prince and Me, A Cinderella Story, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and Win A Date With Tad Hamilton to come out here! We need more girly flicks!! The earliest one will be in April – “Win A Date With Tad Hamilton” and “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights” (I’m looking forward to this one in particular! I loved the original Dirty Dancing.. and this one looks good too! I also love watching latin dancing.. & I wouldn’t mind trying it again sometime). Then I’m gonna have to wait till June for “Prince and Me” (and “Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban”!! Woohoo!), then September for “A Cinderella Story”, “Princess Diaries 2”, and “Girl Next Door” (which looks kinda interesting.. heh). And who knows when Chasing Liberty is gonna come out here. Its not listed on Hoyts or Greater Union. 🙁
