I have the back of an old toilet tank in my yard. I grow catnip in it.
Bruno never noticed it last year, when it was growing and tall. It has reseeded itself and come up. He discovered it. Bruno has been trying to roll in the catnip, and has been tasting it and digging in it. Of course when I came for a picture he stood up and was not nearly so cute.
He is a big kitty. His tail was hanging outside the tank, he had his head down close to the growing plants. He sat up when I approached him. I do not know if he will leave it alone long enough for it to grow this year. We shall see.

Poor Bruno! He's too big to roll in the tank.

I had a smaller kitty that did that. I think this may have gone to seed in another planter, we shall see.

@GardenGerty I hope it did seed itself in a different planter, too.

I need to put more up. It is entertaining to stalk the wild beast.

He does that too. Mostly he wants to sit where we have sat.

@allknowing If they fit, they sit. I think they like the closeness.I have not found a box that is a fit for me.

I think it seeded itself in the large planter next to him. It was a hot water heater from about 1950 and my dad cut it so it is a trough like planter.

@GardenGerty Lots of these types of containers become very useful planters.

Bruno is a handsome kitty.
When our Buttons was young, she didn't react much to catnip but when she aged some and heard us get the bag of it, she went wild. Ginger never got into it her whole life. Funny how each is different with likes/dislikes.

He lives in the house. He was my sister's cat before she passed away. He really likes it when we both go outside with him, though.
