Hooked....on cat nip?????

"Dear Cocoa,

I have a big problem and I am truly hoping you can help me out.  I live in a home with three pets who take care of my every need; however, they love to give me cat nip each night.  I don't know why, I only know I can't resist the stuff and I wake up every morning with a massive headache.  I have tried to pretend it isn't there, but they leave it all night long and I simply can't resist.  Please help me!

"Dear Hangover,

I am a cat nip lover myself and I have often awoke with the the feeling of a hangover as well.  The trick is to wait until they are not around and then grab up as much cat nip as you can and go hide it in a secret stash located close to your favorite sleeping spot.  Build upon your stash every night while enjoying the remainder with gusto.  Once your stash is built, you can enjoy the cat nip without worry; and the next morning take a bit of your stash to kill the headache.  Hope this helps, 

Signed Cocoa"

Cats do love their cat nip very much, but it should not be given in large amounts or too often.  I give it during special occasions or when I need them sleepy for a vet visit.  If you find that your cat seeks out the cat nip a little too often, try putting some in an old sock and securely tying off the opening.  Toss this to you cat and watch them go crazy.  Replace the sock once the cat no longer seems interested in it.
