Message 1638880 - Posted: 8 Feb 2015, 11:10:15 UTC - in response to Message 1638876.  

Catnip toys in the UK can cost up to £3 each and usually last for about 20 minutes before the cat loses interest for evermore. It has been a public ripoff for years. Some sort of rejuvenating spray I am sure would sell, but not at £20 a bottle! A price of £8.99 for a year would be attractive I think, and at the $8 USA retail price would cost in at bulk trade price, allowing for shipping.

20 years ago I might have gone to my bank with a business proposal but not now. However it is relatively easy to set up a simple import/export agency, so someone could approach the many on-line cat food/product suppliers in the UK and gauge their interest, then do a deal with the suppliers of this product.

You won't be building fire engines for ever, could be a pension?

If I could retire on something that would further the interests of a select friend of two in the UK and kitties there tethered, it might be of interest to me.
The first few packets to judge kitty interest could be sent via normal channels.
Bulk shipments might take a tad more upfront cash.
A few more pounds might be required to set up at least one British-leaning website with the proper creds....a nudge nudge, wink wink, this is your kitty speaking commercial might be in order. Dunno how you brits got along with this particular band, but it would make a great commercial advert.........
I waaaaant Catnip. I waaaaant Catnip. With the appropriate kitty images inserted as required.
Another commercial would show a sedate kitty....so sad...and then saying...this was my life before Catnip spray...and then kitty bouncing around....and now I have found I can dance...
There are many options to the commercials.

So very sorry for your loss Annie. :(((((
Rasputin, R.I.P.


Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
 may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Thankyou for all your kind words and comforting poems :) and the hugs too :)

Poor sweetie has been so spooked by me clumping about with a walking frame :((( Retreating to the top of the kitchen cupboards was where he felt safest... but something went wrong with his calculations last night and he fell :(((((((

He doesn't have to worry anymore though.

Man thinks twice after allegedly stealing kitty from pet store, returns cat with apology

Story Link

MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) -
It's a story that's prompted one transplanted Minnesotan to quip, "Minneapolis: where even the thieves are polite."

A man who stole a 3-month-old kitten named Wednesday from a Minneapolis PetSmart Friday apparently thought twice and returned the kitty to a different location yesterday, along with an apology note.
