Cato's Detox

We have cut Cato off from catnip. Cold Turkey. He is not adjusting very well. We started noticing these tweaked glances and strange behaviors. We tried soothing him with games and telling him that the trembling and night sweats will subside. But we still needed to restrain him a couple of times when he was pleading to go to the local pet store for a fix (bottom photo). Most days, he just hides in my canvas bag in the kitchen. If anyone knows of any catnip-methidone clinics, let me know. In the meantime, Cato will be fine as long as he thinks the oregano is the real thing.
