Source: Douglas Sacha / Getty Mother Accidentally Feeds Catnip To Daughter From Advent Calendar You read that right. A mother fed her 9-year-old daughter catnip for four days. A story in The Scottish Sun details how Jess Evans bought her daughter Alissa a Garfield advent calendar for the holidays. After a few days Alissa claimed she didn’t like the treats anymore and told her mom that she refused to eat any more. Upon further inspection, Jess discovered that the treats that she believed to be “apple flavored chocolate” was actually “yoghurt and catnip” snacks…for cats! Jess, from Oswestry, Shropshire, said: “I was in shock and felt like the worst mother ever when I realised I’d bought her a calendar for cats. “She said they tasted a bit strange, but hadn’t said they were horrible, so I just forgot about it. “Alissa hadn’t been eating them for a few days and when I asked why she brought the box over to me. “I remember thinking they did look a funny shade of green and didn’t have a chocolatey smell. “When I turned the calendar over and read that it was yoghurt and catnip flavour I couldn’t believe it – and that it had taken 11 days for us to notice.” Apparently, Jess was doing Christmas shopping and grabbed the calendar without ever reading it. “I have a degree in English literature and creative writing but still couldn’t read a calendar and it had taken me 11 days to realise.” Get it together, lady.
