Zeke reporting! Normally we don’t post on Thursdays but we are all house-bound! The air quality is SO bad from the wildfires in Oregon and British Columbia blowing over us we can hardly see or breathe! Greg got hit the worst! He’s hacking too! Here is a photo from Tuesday on the way to the Ford dealer for warranty service. That thing in the left corner is the sun! Looks like we are on Venus!
Anyway, a funny thing to show you from the waiting room.
Scooby and cat toys.
I see some catnip dynamite and a catnip carrot in there!

These are all mine!
Not done any outdoor leash walking with Scooby. Been pretty warm for me, Greg. Staying in and amusing ourselves was the order of the day from Zeke Editor in Chief who made us blog-post nearly every day this week. Zeke can be quite a task master! Scooby on the other hand was examining his toy collection. He thinks some of them are missing! Misplaced more likely. Have a good weekend everybody!
Earlier this week–Global Warming
Monday is over so Scooby is Out of the Bag! He thought it best to hide most of Monday. That was a smart thing as it was 90 degrees, and our house sits open out in the sun and we have no air conditioning. Greg is a bit ill today but nothing serious, so that is why we have a new post today. He went out and stupidly got a touch of heatstroke. Fortunately the buzzards didn’t get him.
Tuesday is shaping up to be a fine sunny day. Scooby is showing off his reserve cat toy stash. Lots of very old ones in the old Easter basket. There seem to be cat toys strewn about every room on the floor with an average spacing of no more than three feet apart. In the morning, they all appear in different places! So have a good week as the worst day is past us I hope for all!
My reserve toy stash!
Today we play Comedy Plus Tuesday Fun
This post is about the Twinkle Chute cat tunnel.
Our cat tunnel is so old I do not remember when I purchased or where. It has LED lights which were motion activated, but they long since stopped functioning. That is not a problem. The cats still like to play inside it. Jumping in and out of the middle hole is common practice. Today we see Scooby checking it out.

What is going on in there?
Here I am!
Today we show some photos of Marigold playing with Dynamite! Homeland Security need not be alarmed, as the dynamite sticks are filled with catnip! So far, we have had nip bananas, nip dynamite, nip boomerangs, and a nip carrot! WE also have some toys that can be refilled with any brand of nip you like. It is hard to grade these items but the yellow nip boomerang with eyes on it may have a slight edge, for readers who want to know.
I like the cardboard from paper towel rolls. Looking for dynamite!
This is not what I thought it was.
This smells like Dynamite!
There is a new carrot in town, and it’s name is “NIP”!
Looks like Scooby got to the new catnip carrot first, and is not letting it go! We have never had a nip vegetable as a cat toy before. Looks like the day is planned out for Scooby!
Scooby and Marigold
This post is about our first Chewy box.
I got a coupon in the snail mail for $15 off a Chewy order for first-time customers. It was too good to pass up, as we were going to need food soon, and I was feeling lazy about going to the store to pick it all out. Why not get it delivered at a discount, I thought. Two days later a grumpy mailman dropped the box at my front door. I managed to drag it inside, as I am getting weak! Basically I just ordered the food they normally eat, and threw in a bonus catnip banana. The box turned out to be fairly popular, but only if the catnip banana was inside it.
Marigold and Chi-cat-a-banana
The catnip banana was called a “Chi-cat-a-banana” or chicatabanana. It is bigger than their newest catnip boomerang, and the same size as their catnip dynamite. Scooby and Marigold liked it. Opie was not so enthusiastic. Zeke hid under the bed from the mailman ringing the doorbell.

Why are my eyes glowing?

This post documents a little of Scooby’s birthday Tuesday. His “Gotcha” day is in October, and he insists that be celebrated as well. He is pretty keen on the “Dynamite” catnip toys. On this birthday I got him a new catnip boomerang toy to try out. I will admit my eyes were watering when I removed it from it’s plastic case! My face sort of resembled the face on the boomerang (From Drs Foster & Smith). Additionally Scooby got some of his favorite cat treats, and got more than his daily allowance of them. Some new “Jackson Galaxy” toy cat balls were thrown into the mix from Petsmart. They are oddly shaped, and colorful enough to help me find them! The cat balls were not too interesting at first, but in the morning they were all missing! I had to retrieve them from under various pieces of furniture with an umbrella. So let’s have a little look:
This smells STRONG!
Nice pillow!
Testing under the chin
Tastes good TOO!
Catnip Boomerang $5
“Jackson Galaxy” TM cat balls $5.69
I bought these things with my own money, and I am not endorsing them, just showing Scooby enjoying himself! How long the catnip will attract cats in the boomerang is an open question. At any rate he had a good time, and was very well behaved. That is all that matters.
