JaredSpooky Kitties Sciences is happy to announce the second phase of Trash Panda Reefer Madness: Trash Panda Reefer Madness: The Quest for Peace! While Phase 1 provided excellent data how much much most of the kitties like all the herbs, the changing weather made determining preferences difficult. Dorian clearly loves Silvervine Fruit, Powder more than anything else, but that is about it.
1/
While winter appears to be over, which means the apparently best surface for cat herb distribution(ice) is not longer available. Thankfully, the materials tests from the end of Phase 1 led to the discovery of camp chairs as an adequate substitute(and a good Napasaurus Rex spot). To facilitate comparison tests, I have acquired 2 more camp chairs made from from the same material.
2/
Trash Panda Reefer Madness 2: The Quest for Peace's testing will go as follows: each day at midnight(or as close as possible), water will be poured on the seat of each chair to wash off the previous days herb. Then, a pinch of cat herb will be placed on each chair. The pinch measurement is not exact, but will strive so that each chair has the same amount of coverage. 3/
Each chair will received a different herb from the others, rotating each day. By the end of phase 2, each herb should have been tested against the others at least twice, hopefully more.
4/
Replacement of herbs throughout the day will be allowed to ensure that each cat gets a turn. This is mostly for Silvervine Fruit, Powder, which goes quickly when Dorian is around, and Catnip, which Euler tends to easily pickup when he rolls around in it.
As the testing surface does not depend on the weather, phase 2 will run for an extended period, likely until phase 3. Phase 3 does not currently have a start date, but likely not start until at least May.
5/
The main testing will focus on Dorian Gray, Inspector Clouseau, Dr. Professor Euler, and Unicode X22. If Carl(Gauss) comes around enough, their testing will focus on a combination of phase 1 and 2, as there is currently no data on what Gauss likes. Ori Chalcos visits are still few and far between, but I will include Ori reports if they happen(hopefully). This final part applies to any of the non-Spooky Kitties that sometimes come by as well.
6/
Murphin's face as well, as he sometimes participates.
While the final set of cat herbs is still being determined, the following will for sure be included:
1. Catnip
2. Silvervine Fruit, Ground
3. Silvervine Fruit, Powder
4. Silvervine Leaves
5. Tatarian Honeysuckle
6. Tatarian Honeysuckle, Lemon Balm, Valerian Root, Catnip, Silvervine Fruit, and Silvervine leaves blend.
7. Valerian Root, if a new supply can be acquired soon.
