Kelp loved catnip. One of the most anticipated events came every Christmas, when Santa Cat filled this boy's stocking with a fresh-scented varmint / object of affection.
Kelp would leap into the air and roll in the floor, hugging and kicking his new toy in fits of unbounded bliss.
We'd also note his slobber glands worked just fine, thank you. Why there would be enough cat spit to last us the entire year!
Then, when all was mewed and done, Kelp would settle in for a nap -- with the catnip critter pinned under his butt.
Very odd, but obviously a treasured Kelpian ritual.
