4. Peppermint, especially used peppermint teabags

used to do it forToshiro Plushbottom. He'd dig them out of the trash or sink and tear them up in the middle of the night. Hearing noises, I'd go downstairs to investigate and find him covered in damp leaves, on his side and dragging himself around a chair without even trying to get up, and chewing on all the chair legs. Of course, catnip is a mint.

It was especially funny because Tosh, even though he was a stray, was a dead ringer for a British Blue and White. A big bread loaf of a cat, all muscles and dignity. He was the Godfather of the household and took no nonsense from anybody. He came out of a 7-11 parking lot, bumming for Slim Jims, with every parasite known to man. So we named him after the actor who played the flea-bitten samurai, adding Plushbottom for obvious reasons.
