Asking, 'Can a cat have too much catnip?' is like asking, 'Can you have too much of a good thing?'. It depends on the thing. With catnip – a very good thing! - You can take more than a daily dose, and you might feel a bit sick or groggy. But it's not toxic, like alcohol is for humans, so it won't harm or poison you. If you always buy 100% natural cat nip, it's much like any other edible, medicinal, nutritional herb. But why are we asking this question now? Because of this extraordinary story from the world of kitty rock and pop.
The Kittles Take Over the Kit Parade - Are They More Popular Than Catnip?!
The Kittles. Remember them? The Fab Fur? The greatest band the cat world has ever seen? John, Pawl, Clawge and Purringo? Famous for their English humor, English teeth, and English' mog top' hair do's? Since the moment their distinctive sounds first hit the airwaves, they've broken every known chart record and kept Whiskerland purring. And now they've gone and done in it again.
Last week, it was announced that The Kittles would be re-releasing their 20 favorite singles. They did so, and now they've filled the whole Top 20 Kit Parade. Read on to see the countdown in full.
When they first came on the scene, we were warned that the 'Brit kits were coming': finally, a musical act from across the pond would 'break Whiskerland.' While fellow Brit kits have come and gone - The Kitty Kinks, The Rolling Furballs, Cream - and other hitmakers have had their moments in the sun (rolling in dust) – from The Mewdy Blues to The Supurremes, Simon and Purrfunkel to Sky and the Family Catnip, Elvis Purresly to Furrank Sinatra, Purrtha Kit to Cat Stevens – The Kittles have always prevailed.
Claims that they are "more popular than catnip" should perhaps be taken with a pinch of, well, catnip, but from big moment to big moment – their first appearance on the Cat-Bed Sullivan Show, to filling the Kitty O'Shea Stadium – they've always made history. But after a quiet few decades, we'd all started to wonder "what's next?". Well, now, that question's been answered – in style!
So, has your favorite Kittles song been re-released? Can you guess what's in the Top 10? The Top 5? The Number 1? Read on to find out.
