Kitty Spliff

OK, mom thinks this is HILARIOUS. Since I’m immune to catnip, I guess I just don’t get it.This was the other gift from her artist friend, David Remfry. The gift for the cats (I still enjoy my Sniffers stuffed toy daily, but I just had to destroy the squeaker, I know he’ll understand…). It’s the…
