My little store is back online
20Not spam! Not spam!
After the fiasco of the original website host selling the business, the new owner totally fucking up everything, moving to a new host, then months later, getting hacked and, even though I had the entire old store backed up, it never worked right.
So, I got an upgraded cart and importing the old inventory just boggled my mind (around the time that my husband was going through five day a week radiation therapy for prostate cancer, which, I’m happy to say, seems to have been successful; his PSA count was 8.2 thirteen months ago, last week it was .7! Yay!). So, I just let it sit.
The catnip was harvested, it’s been in a huge bag in the shop fridge for months and I decided to get the store back online. This weekend, I took the inventory I had offline (need to double check what I actually have) and now just have the catnip.
I used 2checkout in the past, but they cancelled the account for inactivity. I decided to just set up a new account with them. They turned me down. Catnip is a prohibited product. Can you believe that? Pseudo pharmaceutical they call it.
So, Paypal it is.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in getting some preemo catnip, I’ve got some for sale.

Good luck Lisa!
If I had a cat and lived in the states, I’d totally be down to shop on there…
@curtise Thank you.
Eep. I just realized that I might not of thanked you for the catnip you sent! If I did already, don’t mind me. It arrived a few weeks after you had mentioned it got mailed. I had assumed the mail gave it to the wrong address because I get my neighbor’s mail quite often. Life is crazy so I put it to the back of my mind.
I take my mail out of the box and I have quite a bit. I throw out the obvious junk but I still had a lot of stuff that day. I put it on the couch to sort later. I walk around my house for a bit, unwinding from work.
I come back to the living room to find my one cat flailing about on the mail. I wonder wtf is up and I find a drool covered packet. Then it dawns on me that it was the catnip that I assumed was lost in the mail system.
My cat absolutely loves it. I keep it in the freezer. My other cat that doesn’t care about catnip, still doesn’t care, but that’s ok. My other cat loves it enough for both of them.
Thanks so much!
@RiotDemon You’re welcome.
@RiotDemon The warning makes so much sense now.
“You’ll need to make sure you get to the mail before your cat does.”
@ELUNO haha, yep. She had warned us in the other thread. I’ve been a bit scatterbrained so I forgot.
/giphy Congratulations!
Congrats and good luck! Sorry I don’t have a cat or I would show some Meh support
Did you check out checkout.org?
I hear they’ll sell anything.
@2many2no 2checkout is just a credit card processor. They don’t sell stuff. But they police what their customers sell.
The internet is ran by cats.
I have a potential customer here. This is a stray whom I’ve been working on for the last four months. He’s slowly realizing the possible benefits of becoming an inside kitten.
@melonscoop Also, one time I was making pesto with a whole bunch of basil leaves my wife had just picked. After I threw everything in the food processor I find out that about a quarter of the leaves were catnip. So we had partial catnip pesto.
@melonscoop Did you have to scoop the cat out of the pasta?
@magic_cave @melonscoop
Nikolai kitty (RIP) used to love the smell of pasta sauce and olives. No unguarded bowl or plate of pasta was safe from becoming smeared on that cat’s face. No catnip needed; I shudder to think what catnip lacing would have resulted in…
@melonscoop The real Lisa Violet like bananas. She’d be all over anything banana. Give her a little piece of banana, she wanted MOAR!
Congratulations! That’s fantastic news.
Lisa, I wanted to order some primo nip for my pal Mowgli, but I discovered a problem. Mowgli & I don’t live in a state; we live in (the colony of) the District of Columbia. Ain’t no DC on your list. I’m stuck with Washington, New York, which probably won’t get here. Any ideas? Thanks.
@gertiestn That’s interesting. Let me look into that.
@gertiestn I just added District of Columbia. Let me know if it doesn’t work.
@lisaviolet May I also let you know that it works perfectly? Mowgli has some primo nip coming, & I can’t wait to see if he approves.
@gertiestn Yay! It will go out tomorrow.
Your catnip ROCKS. My cats have never loved any like they do for yours which I keep in the freezer like you suggest. It’s the freaking best!!
@moonhat do you keep your batteries in there as well?
@JnKL no, my husband keeps inventory of the batteries and they’re in his den I think. Gasp!
Isn’t it a little weird we “drug” our cats just to laugh at the shit they do? I mean I’m going to keep doing it. It’s socially acceptable and hilarious.
@unksol Here’s one of our cats in the nip earlier this year.
I gave our Kiki a little when it got here and she LOVED it! She’s never shown interest in catnip from big stores. Thank you!
@tnhillbillygal You’re welcome!
Oh, my! When I came into the apartment with the mail a few minutes ago, Mowgli started talking talking talking in ways he never has before, just constant & insistent mewing. He aimed toward the envelope with your catnip, and he was sort of fighting me as I tried to tear the envelope open. I removed the baggy of nip and managed to give him just a few pinches of it and he was zonked. Rolling around in and on it, just amazingly animated. And after a few nice rolls on the floor, he drifted off to slumber. I was so glad to find something that he really loves!
@gertiestn I’m glad to hear it!
