I never really thought that cats could appreciate fresh herbs until my daughters noticed how much they liked to hang around the dill in the backyard. Does that make them gourmet cats?

It's tempting to simply ask that you Google "Connie Veneracion" or "Sassy Lawyer" or "Pinoy Cook" and have this page done with. But that might give you the wrong idea about me. A third of what's been written about me is true, a third is half-true and the rest consists of drug-induced hallucinations. I suppose I'd better let me, rather than them, tell you about me. I'm … »
The cooks
*This article was last updated on October 2, 2011. In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP.

Your cats are cute! I just recently tried growing catnip that is believed to have this behavioral effect to cats. We have a cat at home, and I do notice her glee when she comes close to the herb.
Ahhh… so they are attracted to herbal aromas. I hope they don’t eat my cilantro.
your cats are adorable! and you know what else is adorable? Munchkin cats! they’re so cute with their stubby little legs and arms! But i love any kind of cat! I’m just a cat person but i also love all sorts of other animals too!
My cat is an incredibly picky eater. He dislikes treats of any kind and isn’t interested in anything but his cat food (which is fine by me). However, one day I foung him licking the lid clean from a container of dill dip! Dill is the only “human” food he has ever liked. Is it safe for them? He likes tuna as well. I think if I mixed fresh dill in with it, he’d be in heaven.
Wow, they really do look like they’re enjoying that dill… That’s a funny observation. I never knew that before. Or maybe it’s just a preference of your cats in particular.
Thanks for the photo of your cats eating dill. I was wondering what killed my dill plant last year and what attacked my plant this year.
where can i find a catnip plant or catnip seeds? thanks..
catnip and oregano, are they the same?. thanks.
You can Google the answer to that question.
