Back when the cats were kittens, shortly after I got them, my friend Cathy dropped by and Phantom (Attilla the Cute at the time) was enthralled with her. Shadow, not so much. Since Phantom is into catnip, and Shadow isn’t, and Cathy had been weeding her basil (I think it was), we thought maybe that explained the phenomenon.
But a few weeks later, she dropped in again, also having been messing with herbs, and –nothing.
No special interest from either cat, so we figured that whatever it had been, Phantom had grown out of it.
And then last night, she came by for the first time in a month or so, and this time both cats were seriously into her. Phantom was more enthralled than ever, especially with her pants, and even Shadow got into the act. (These aren’t the best shots–the phone was not focussing well).

No explanation for this. She hadn’t been into the herbs, not cooking, doesn’t use fabric softener that might smell good to cats–we could come up with nothing.
Me, I think it must be Cathy herself. I offer you– Cath-nip.
