Whiskers a foot long
Her black coat soft, tinged with gray
Smells of peppermint
My own bonny cat
Thirteen years to her credit
Smells of peppermint
Like a dowager
Awaiting a grandchild’s call
Smells of peppermint
Luxuriant pose
Paws stretch horizontally
Smells of peppermint
Scout, my feline fair
Lingered, languished within sheets
Smells of peppermint
I’ve been trying to ward off spiders by using peppermint essential oils mixed with water as a spray for our bedding. Scout, our older cat, has become something of a peppermint junkie. She lounges about on my bed all day, smells wonderful, and seems to be spider-free.
peace, people!

Wow.. a cat that repels spiders… I wish I could borrow her 😄

Well, she thinks they’re amusing, but the peppermint spray seems to be effective.

Catnip is in the mint family, they have similar chemical properties. Methinks Scout has found her Woodstock.

I didn’t realize that! She’s certainly zoned out.
