WHAT'S IN STORES TODAY
Wake up! If it seems your cat is snoozing too much of the time (like all of it), try catnip spray. Catnipicent, a concentrate six times as strong as actual catnip, sprays on anything you want the cat to play with — old socks, scratching posts, used toys. As a training tool, it diverts attention from couches and chairs you don't want ruined. Available at pet stores and major retailers in a 2-ounce pump spray bottle for about $5. (303) 216-2626; www.kongcompany.com.
