Not Quite Schroedinger's Cat?

Well, it is done.

The first stage of The Great Cat-Nip Experiment has just been concluded, and I am pleased to publish my findings.

After some deliberation, and waiting for an opportune moment (i.e., when he'd calmed down and was unlikely to claw my eyes out..!) I took the botle of catnip spray, and, firmly holding his tail, sprayed it liberally over the end of his tail.

I then retired to a safe distance to record the results...

He immediately registered an interest in something around the area of his tail, but sniffed the area of blanket that his tail had been on...not once even considering that his tail was the area affected....

After two or three minutes he'd forgotten about it completely, even though his tail was still damp.

Bah.

In conclusion, I can concur that catnip, applied to living feline results in a neutral scent. Almost as if a + b = the square root of c.*


*Where a = cat and b = catnip and c = fuck all....

So, not quite Schroedinger's Cat then....
