Listening to the World

OK heres the story such as it is, I'm sitting at my 'puter and next thing I know Torrie (our calico 2 ton of fun baby kitty) is batting at my hip. Now I have just in the last month retired my old computer chair for a larger and more put together model. The old chair had a flat arm on it that she really liked getting up on and draping herself dramatically on, hey guys she is a cat after all,  and purring out the window. The new chair has curved arms that are not cat friendly, I checked that the chair is niece friendly we both can fit but it isn't friendly to my little meow of the south.   The problem I found wasn't that it was just Torrie it was all the kitten cats at once. You have to understand my roomie and I don't just have the one cat...we have five. There is our two old men with Warlock (black short hair) at 15 and  Muretti (grey striped tabby with white bib and socks) @ 17 years old, Drambui or  Boo for short *yes the cat is black and found us in October* at 13 years old, my little girl Tamarisk (solid mist grey long hair)  at 11 years old and Torrie (predominently white with black and orange and tan spotted calico) the two tons of fun at 8 ot 9 years.  Now imagine children that you are working at your 'puter diligently reading your fan fic *Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis rules!!* ahem and all of the sudden you are accosted by all the cats in the house acting funny and the air smelling odd.  Now the room mate has just finished cooking her dinner in the oven and has gone into the living room to eat.  I walked into the kitchen thinking that we have killed another kitchen spoon or other utensil *don't laugh I do it regularly* and find that the catnip that she has been drying from the plant she is growing on the back porch has been put back in the oven but the oven is still ON!! This explains everything...the cats are on dope kitty style. Boo is rolling on the dining room table with his eyes going in the opposite direction of his body, Warlock is standing in front of the oven trying to make me GIVE HIM NIP!!! Torrie running up and down the steps and meowing the whole time, Muretti is meowing period *seriously people he is seriously high to even speak* and Tamarisk was bashing anyone who got in front of her. This was the absolutely most hilarious thing I have ever seen!! They are fine now, I gave them some fresh nip from the porch *munchies* and they are all for the most part normal but are sleeping it off.
