Legalize Nip!

A little about me
"My Favorite Things"
Nipaholics Anonymous
The Nip Pantry

Welcome to my page! My name is Sam, and I am a 4 year old classic orange tabby with white. I am my human mom's baby, her pride and joy! As you may guess, from the title of this page, I am something of a nip freak! I love nip! I go NUTS FOR NIP!

I came to live with my mom, my brother Socrates, and my two sisters, Persephone and Elektra, when I was 6 weeks old. I was adopted from the Austin Humane Society. At first, I was kind of scared, but Socrates and I became really good buds after a while. Elektra doesn't pay me much mind, and Persephone, well, she's Persephone. You have to give her a wide berth!

I like to sleep at the foot of my mom's bed, and scratch her feet in the middle of the night! I also like to grab Elektra by the scruff of her neck, and "walk" her (she doesn't like this, truth be told). I also love to escape when my mom gets home from work, and run around outside! Mom and I often play fetch together, with all the little fur mouses that my beloved winkwink Schmutz sent me!

Schmutz

This is Schmutz! Isn't she lovely? She is the love of my life! She lives in Madison, Indiana, which is right on the Ohio River. We often teleport over to each other's homes, so that we may have a chance to smurgle with each other. Schmutz has three brothers; Christofur, Major, and Mahler. You can find them at their website. But make no mistake about it - Schmutz is Queen of her house, and Queen of my heart!

If you would like to learn a little more about me, allow me the chance to express myself in song. The creative muses took over, and I wrote this song, which I call, "My Favorite Things" (which may be sung to the tune of the human song with the same name).

(Verse)

Dried nip leaves blowing on soft summer breezes,
Floating on air as they cause me to sneezes.
Sun-warmed fresh green leaves, they cause me to sing,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Fur-covered mousies I throw in the air,
A treat for my mommy, I leave her to scare.
Tossing them higher, so much fun to fling,
These are a few of my favorite things!

(Bridge)

When the nip falls,
To the carpet,
And I roll around.
I think to myself how lucky I have been,
That I can get nipped, again!

(Verse) Wrestling matches with my big, fat brother!
Chasing Elektra, then smurgling my mother!
Persephone gets me, her scratches do sting!
These are a few of my favorite things.

Escaping the confines of our small apartment,
Birdies to chase, freedom! I have to be pent!
Hard salmon pounces, a post-dinner treat.
These are a few of my favorite things!

My winkwink Schmutz is the love of my life!
We love to smurgle, she will be my wife.
She cried tears of joy when I gave her the ring!
Those are a few of my favorite things!

(Bridge)

When the sun sets,
Dinner is served.
And my belly is full!
I curl up to nap at the foot of the bed,
And say thanks to Bast, no TED*!

The End

The Food Pantry
Please feel free to help yourself to items in the pantry. They are here for all NA members and friends to enjoy. Some of them come from the very well-stocked gift shop at Triffan's Katnip Hut, so be sure to stop by and see him!

Canned Food

These are some of my favorite kinds of canned foods. There is a variety in here, which is restocked every day.


Hot Nip Tea

On these cold, winter evenings, there's really nothing better than a cup of steaming hot nip tea! It is soothing, and really helps keep you warm on an icy night!


Nip Soda

But, here in Austin, TX, it's been quite warm this winter. On warm, sunny, days, reach for a cold nip soda! It will provide quite a refreshing zing, and rev you up for a long, lazy afternoon of napping in the sun!


Bag o' Nip

And finally, whenever the urge strikes, just take a nice bag of nip. We all know that there's nothing like it!
