Why Today Rocks, Post the Eighth

My cat has is addicted to crack. Okay, cat nip, but it's the cat equivalent to crack. We got him a scratch post a while ago, and he loves it. It's just a square base with one scratch pole on it, but you'd think we'd just got him a Disney World sized cat toy. He goes nuts.

So I sprinkled some cat nip on the post, to see what the result would be. I need to do this again and get a picture. He attacked it. Launched himself across the room and knocked it over several times, then looked up at us until we picked it back up again so he could launch himself at it once more. Eventually, he ended up on his back with his front paws above his head, wrapped around the pole. Then, he pulled his rear paws up to the top of the pole, so he was standing on his head with all four arms wrapped around the pole. He was scratching and biting at it, and his head kept hitting the base. It was hilarious.

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of him doing that. I do, however, have a picture of him playing with his second favorite toy: a tampon.
