Cindy pointed out to me that, since we're not letting the cats outside even under supervision, the catnip plants had recovered and are thriving. I took a few leaves into the house and the reaction of the older cats was immediate: eyes popped open, heads whipped around, noses twitched. They gobbled the leaves immediately and started looking around for more.
The two younger kitties have had catnip in their enormous collection of toys, but apparently not much experience with fresh catnip. They ran away when I tried to give it to them, so the older cats gobbled their shares. Bailey later changed her mind, so I gave her a leaf and she rolled around on the steps, batting the leaf around and chasing fur balls.

What a cute picture! awwww. kinda makes we want to let the cats out into the back yard again. Of course, the birds currently gulping seeds on the birdfeeder out back would disagree. Heartily. So...guess the cats remain indoor cats. With their very own servants providing them with "take-in" catnip, delivered to their very own paws and perches. Not too shabby a feline lifestyle, come to think of it.
