The chosen title of this space refers to catnip. Now as far as I understand the etymology of this word I have learned from the Hairless Talls, nip is to lightly bite but also means to do a small amount or to visit for a short side-errand. This further demonstrates why this “language” is so far to learn. The antecedents are mired in multiplicity. Readers probably are familiar with this hallucinogenic substance.

Wisely they semm to have made this a controlled substance. Colleagues in a number of dimensions have reported on this subject. Some of my kind seem to be profoundly weak to it reporting a most undignified staggering and urge to roll so as to coat one’s hair with the active ingredient thereby giving a further excitement to future groomings. The addictive properties for some can ruin lives. We know of one xenobiologist whose career ended in ruins as she forsook research, as well as her own infants which she abandoned all for the pusuit of this “little bite” Sad indeed.

For myself, I am a social nipper. I do find myself somewhat lifted by the oils. That the Hairless Talls should have an industry to harvest and package the substance is somewhat worrisome. Do they understand the health risks involved in what they play with? Knowing that they willfully consume citrus it is somewhat in doubt.

Time for my catithenics. Until next time..paws and consider.
