re: #182 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
Our catnip grows semi-wild in our former fire pit in the back yard. Our outdoor cat, Moonshine - whom we have been bringing inside to cuddle with us lately now that our elder indoor cats are both gone - is very appreciative of this arrangement.
If I see the nip plants getting picked on I’ll put some wire up to protect them somewhat. Two cats seen outside a few times that belong to a neighbor - one of them chases the squirrels. Though I’ve seen generally that if the plant leaves aren’t bruised cats usually leave them alone for the most part.
