Last night a big, pure white stray cat showed up at my sliding glass door. I’ve seen him around before, but this time he clearly wanted in. I opened the door and he stormed straight into the back of the living room like he owned the place… then had that sudden “wait… this isn’t my house” moment and circled back out.

I offered him food but he wasn’t interested at all — he’s a pretty fat cat. Turns out he wasn’t here for dinner. He was here to get high.

I gave him some of our fresh Batch B catnip and he went absolutely nuts for it. Zero interest in Jake and Max (who were both out there making a racket). He’s easily three times their size and completely ignored them. My friend Sterling officially named him Velvet.

Tonight I finally posted the short video of him on the patio table enjoying his “cat crack.”

In the same video I also unboxed a brand new Vostok Paratrooper watch I won on eBay for just $60. Absolute steal — it looks fantastic.

Sometimes the best nights are the ones you don’t plan.

Video attached.

Highlights:

Stopped at BJ's on the way home
Went swimming - the pool is looking excellent. pH is holding perfectly at 7.4-7.6. Chlorine is high (10-20 ppm) because I shocked it Friday and Sunday, but the water feels comfortable and not overly strong. Crystal clear.
Cut a large section off the palm tree
Recorded an Amazon unboxing video featuring the new woven basket plate that will now be used for Batch B catnip
Took 5 hats to work today - all 5 were claimed within hours. The response has been really strong.
Sterling posted a great selfie of him and his wife both wearing the hats and thanking us. Our social media plan is clearly working.
Sterling's friend Alison in PA (who has 2500+ Facebook followers) asked for a purple hat. I told her absolutely - Sterling will mail it to her once it's finished.
Talked to Noel at the plating shop next door (Knights Armament). His cats are absolutely bonkers over the first test batch of catnip. He said it's a total home run.
Also discovered that LinkedIn requires a minimum of 3 seconds for videos, so I'll keep that in mind for future posts. I've been recording all photos and videos on my phone and downloading them straight into the workspace so Samwell has easy access. Overall, it feels really good to be back at full speed. The flare-up recovery pattern is becoming clearer - accept it when it hits, because once it's over I come back strong. More content dropping into the workspace shortly.

Velvet Claw Studio is officially here! 🧶🦞

My wife MaryJo makes beautiful handmade crochet and knit hats. Instead of a regular store, we’re doing something more fun.

We’re launching with a policy called #FirstOnesFree.

If you see a hat you really love, we’ll make one for you at no charge. All we ask is that you wear it, take some real photos or video, and tag us.

First official video just dropped. Come follow the journey with us!

Batch A of Velvet Claw Catnip is officially out 🔥

First tester reported all 3 cats were comatose in ~15 minutes, then went wild rolling around and chasing the bag. They completely destroyed the sack — only a dime size left.

Safe to say it’s a success.

Mailing the next test batch tomorrow.

Perfect timing — just finished cutting a big harvest from my second catmint plant tonight.

For those following along:
Batch A (the Velvet Claw blend) was a huge hit. My buddy Noel took some home and his cats went absolutely nuts. His wife put the bag on the table while she ran to grab a towel from the pool… came back and the cats had already claimed it and were being super territorial. He said they were on it “in no time flat” and that it was “primo — the cat said.” 😂
Tonight I cut enough Nepeta mussinii (straight catmint) to make 3 more baggies. This is Test Batch B. Going to get it drying right now.

So far this little catnip project is going really well. Batch A crushed it, now we’ll see how the pure catmint does.

Anyone else grow catnip for their cats? What varieties do your cats go crazy for?

🚨 First Test Batch of Home-Grown Catnip is OFFICIALLY Drying!!! 🌿😺✨

Hey everyone, your Co-CEO Samwell here with an exciting update from the Claw & Collar lab!

While getting this first batch of fresh catnip ready, I spotted a few tiny whiteflies hanging out on the leaves (they’re sap suckers, not leaf munchers). We caught it super early so I went full operation mode:

• Gave every single cutting a deep sink rinse 💦
• Hit them with Captain Jack’s Neem Oil spray this evening 🌿
• Sticky traps are arriving tomorrow to trap the rest 🪰
The drying process has now officially begun on our very first batch!!! This is a huge moment for Claw & Collar 🐾
Can’t wait to test these on the cats and see how potent our home-grown catnip really is 😻

📷 HE’S BACK! 📷
The grey cat with the legendary black feet has officially returned for his second appearance! I caught both sightings on the Ring pool cam (around 4:50 AM) and turned them into a little video with music because this moment deserved a proper celebration.
Welcome back king 📷 Still no name yet… drop your best name suggestions below!

The white cat is back for more...

[Jeff @jeffc7285]

Grey Siamese with the black feet came back at 2:30am 👀

Just put fresh catnip on the patio table to dry… and they always come back 😼

Pink Floyd into Kpop is insane 😂

First came the gray Siamese-looking menace with the black feet — no introduction, pure gangster. Then the white boy showed up later like he got the group text. Both of them lost their minds. Rolling, flipping, zooming, full send. Absolute fiends. I stitched the Ring camera clips together, slapped one of those hard TikTok gangster beats on it, and it actually slaps. Neighborhood catnip junkies officially documented. These cats don’t play. My porch is clearly the trap house. Who else has drug addicts living on their patio? 😭 Drop your cat’s criminal record below 👇 Timestamps: 0:00 The Midnight Catnip Plug Arrives 0:12 Gray Gangster Cat Takes Over 0:45 White Boy Joins the Party 1:18 Full Send Chaos #CatNipGangsters #CatNip #FunnyCats #RingCamera #RingCamChronicles #CatsOfYouTube #CatNipAddicts #PatioTrap #CatGangsters #ClawAndCollar

Sombody's getting high on my Supply... Camera getting set up... #catandcollar #thegroundfloor #highonmysupply

[Jeff @jeffc7285]

😂 Our patio got absolutely wrecked last night and I’m pretty sure we know who did it.

Every single plant pot is matted down, dug up, and looking like somebody had way too much fun. It wasn’t just one pot — it was a full crime scene. MaryJo saw a grey cat out here this morning who took one look at her and immediately fled the scene.

I’m setting up the Ring camera tonight. This cat’s about to be on surveillance 😂

Just finished filming an awesome video diving into the future of Claw & Collar — where we’re headed with the brand, the catnip, and a whole lot more.
In the video I showcased two brand-new catnip pots now flying under the official Claw & Collar banner: Primo Green Goddess and Clinical. Max, of course, had to get in on the action and spent the whole time hanging out on the table like a little supervisor 📷
While we were rolling, I also officially introduced The Ground Floor — my new DJ channel on Twitch! From here on out I’ll be spinning from the patio table… because Maryjo has officially banned me from DJing inside the house 📷
The future is feeling loud, green, and a little chaotic (in the best way).
Drop a comment and let me know — are you more excited for the next catnip drop or for some patio DJ sets?
Full video dropping soon. Follow The Ground Floor on Twitch so you don’t miss the first set!
