I have two 6 month old cats and I haven't given them catnip, but I've been toying with the idea. I mean, if it makes them happy, why not? It's a treat. As long as they don't start foaming at the mouth and stuff...It's a naturally occurring plant, my boyfriend used to live in a house with a garden with a catnip plant in it and his cat used to lie sleeping on it all day. I say it's ok, there are worse things in the world.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
