Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Your regular hostess at this time, KT, is under the weather and she asked if I could fill in. Yes! Always happy to help KT.
Just a friendly reminder, no politics or current events here.
Although KT has taken over the AoS Pet Thread, I still receive emails from pet owners and animal lovers. Here is one I recently received from a Lurker who provided no nic.
I'm just a lurker, so keep me anonymous, but hopefully you enjoy my story below and my photo for the Pet Thread.
Not sure if MisHum is still running the Pet Thread but if not, I'm sure this will find its way to him somehow.
Finally, for KT since I'm emailing the Pet Thread anyway, I've attached a photo of my princess, Sammy the Corgi. She's been featured once before a few years ago but she's overdue for another appearance.
Catnip actually repels mosquitoes from cats.
Catnip is best known for producing bouts of euphoria in cats of all sizes, from house cats to their big cat brethren (including bobcats, jaguars, and lions). In addition to giving felines a healthy release from stress and anxiety, however, some studies show it offers up an additional perk: repelling mosquitoes. Related to mint, basil, and lemon balm, Nepeta cataria (aka catnip) emits a chemical compound called nepetalactone when crushed, which naturally wards off some mosquito species. What’s more, catnip-addled cats often chew and rub the leaves into their coats, an action that (unknowingly) spreads the natural bug repellent around.
That's it for the world of animals and pets. Here's hoping that KT quickly recovers. Thanks for stopping by today.
