First he could only smell the catnip and tried whacking it out of my hand, but when I started blowing the bubbles he became a bit wary and only observed them while sitting at a distance. Will try again in a few days time.

I've just been having fun playing bubbles with 2 birmans who I'm looking after - the dip and blow ones for children, they've bee going mad jumping on them, splatting them with their paws, trying to catch them and then they pop on their nose LOL, great fun, I'm going to get some from my lot. ;D
