i haz catnip

My latest consumer product tester, Marigny Treme Brown-Gervais. She's sampling the beta stage of My Friend Octopus Catnip V. 1.5.
The idea to make cat toys stemmed from a kittenwarming party I recently attended. (My friends planned to surprise another friend with a kitten, but then re-calculated and decided give them a cat-owner gift certificate to the humane society. The rest of us chipped in with kitten-related presents.)
For Marigny, the cat pictured here, her dignified owner LOVES octopus, and once even wrote an octopus opus. So I decided to treat her with a bright-blue, stuffed felt octopus, crammed with that crazily obsessive herb that smells like nothing to me: catnip.
The kittenwarming recipients received Bird V. 1.0, as well as Gnome Head and Mouse. Another friend received Frog.
But, of course, I still had catnip leftover. Oh yes, just wait...there's more.

My lovely model

Thanks to my lovely friend Jenn for showing off one of her birthday gifts, a chiffon flower hair pin.
