Have a high school friend who said “feral cats do not become housebroken cats” but that’s not a 100% true. Another friend sent Hunter a Christmas present. Catnip in one of those colorful gift bags which I left on the steps. After two weeks Hunter got nosey because when I came down the stairs there was catnip all over the steps so I sat on the steps and watched him roll in it, taste it, and then he rolled off the step. I cleaned it up and put the bag back on the step.
A couple of days later a bigger mess. So I ordered some catnip on E-Bay and when it came I put the plastic bag on the kitchen counter. I was reading at the table and Hunter jumped up then put his nose in the air and was sniffing and before I could grab the bag he tried to jump over to the counter and using a chair back as a spring because the counter was 5 feet from the table, and he landed on the floor. I put the bag on the floor and he rolled all around it, held it between his paws, licked the bag and everything a cat would do when intoxicated by catnip. I put it in a draw because I’d hate for him to open that bag. Every time I am reading at the table I get out the bag and put it on the floor and watch foolish Hunter rolling around and mugging it. He is housebroken in that sense but still prefers to be outside.
