Less twee:
Lions and jaguars were extremely sensitive to catnip compared to tigers, cougars, and bobcats, who gave little or no response.

my cat had no interest in tea, only plain cereal milk. not milky tea, nor pure milk, nor cream, nor the leftover milk from a bowl of sugary cereal; it had to be the dregs from something bland, like cheerios/chex. she was very particular. and decorous, as well, not like other kitties who would try to clamber into the cereal bowl before i'd even finished! no, i'd be halfway through breakfast and notice that she had silently materialized a few feet away, sitting with her floofy tail wrapped neatly around her paws, facing a polite 30 degrees away while i had my last few bites. when i'd place my bowl before her, she'd pretend to be surprised -- "all this, for me? you shouldn't have!" -- and help herself to several happy laps of milk before losing interest & drifting away

10 bags in the cup this morning
still drowsy, la
i've been adding cinnamon sticks as well, the past week or so. nice little spice in the plain tea, or with milk, or fruity whatevers. or both! today was spiced peaches & cream tea: black tea + cinnamon + a little semi-frozen cup of chopped peach + milk + ice

my secondary ice cube tray is currently full of minced ginger but once i've used that up i should make iced tea cubes, so as to chill my tea with no loss of potency

just had a realization about jasmine tea, namely that i haven't had any in years and this is intolerable! maybe i can sub in rose petals for now. good god i have so much rose petals. my guy ordered a 1 lb bag of them several years ago and there are still just endless handfuls of them, like the bag is enchanted

Our cats have never shown any interest in tea, but I'm enjoying this revive.

i made lavender honey for a friend, and when i'd strained the flowers from the honey i had, ta-da! honeyed lavender blossoms. i could have made cookies or scones with them, but that's hot and messy, so instead i put them to soak in a small jar of water. now i have a jar of lavender honey water. today i poured a bit into my morning cup of tea, with milk and another spoonful of honey, and as i took the first sip i remembered that lavender tastes revolting, like drinking perfumed antiseptic, and that every other time i've been tempted to ingest lavender i've had the same thought, but keep forgetting, and now i'd ruined a perfectly innocent cup of tea.

and yet i keep getting seduced by this vision of a fancy sophisticated cottagecore kitchenwitch me, setting thimbles of garden tea out on the sill for fairies, lounging among the boughs of an ancient willow with flowers in my hair, wearing a simple linen shift ingeniously upcycled from a tablecloth or whatever! i should tattoo reminders on myself like the guy in memento. "stop trying to drink flowers ffs" "wear pants if you're gonna climb a tree" etc

at first i didn't understand how it related to the thread, but i think i see what you've done

you could still try feeding the lavender tea to your pet cats and let us know how it goes
I thought lavender was supposed to be something cats found repellant so was actually used to keep cats out of areas. Do they like it as tea then.
Is it then going to be licked all over themselves and give them complexes like.
