Hey, I went to all girls' (Catholic) schools most of my life and look where I ended up! LOL
I did not miss the boys in school; somehow most of us managed to find boys just fine outside of school. My plan for retirement is to open a rehab facility for all the catnip addicted cats that would like to be detoxed again. I have a highly addicted cat who immediately upon sniffing the dreaded weed immediately goes into a frenzy (must be a classical, anticipatory response because it can't possibly be in his system from one sniff) and within 15 minutes of his frenzy drops into a d-e-e-p sleep. So I know there are cats out there that need rehab.
