John Donne famously stated that, “no man is an island.” Well, neither is a cat! Kippy Huffington has represented Colorado Kitty Pot catnip from day one, but we felt Kippy deserved to share his success with family….so we created one for him. Meet the Huffingtons, a Modern Stoned-Age Family, officially launches this month and introduces Kippy’s back story and family members, each of which will be featured on our premium catnip tins. Read on to learn more about this eclectic group of personalities, then buy your favorite felines Colorado Kitty Pot Premium and collect the whole family! More ancestors to come, so stay tuned.

 

Kippy HuffingtonKippy HuffingtonKippy was born into a conservative farm family and grew up on the plains of Colorado. His folks, Ma and Pa Huffington, are plain-spoken folk who look down on loud rock music and the Devil’s Weed – Catnip! Poor Kippy was forced to sneak an occasional snort out behind the barn. When Kippy left home for the big city, he brought seeds from his favorite catnip plant, determined to share his righteous Rocky Mountain “bliss” with his fellow free spirits. From those seeds rose Colorado Kitty Pot!

 

Ma and Pa HuffingtonMa and Pa Huffington – Raising two rebellious tom cats is never easy, especially when they refuse to be kept down on the farm! First Hugh, and now Kippy is off to the big city. We knew that boy was in trouble when we caught him rolling in the Devil’s Weed-Catnip! Now he’s sharing it with everyone he comes into contact with. Judging by Pa’s grin, though, we suspect he supports Kippy’s quest

 

Hugh HuffingtonHugh “the Playboy” Huffington – Kippy’s older brother, Hugh, escaped life on the farm years before Kippy. A photographer by trade, Hugh is known as a bit of a playboy and often makes the society page with a cute kitten on each paw. A martini man by nature, Hugh’s been known to share a sniff or two of Colorado Kitty Pot when his little brother comes to visit.

 

Mary Jane Huffington – Kippy’s little sister still lives at home, but longs to break free and join her older siblings in the big city. While Ma and Pa Huffington are convinced their little princess is pure as the driven kitty litter, neighbors have noticed a pungent, herbal smell coming from the hay loft at night! Could it be MJ is not that innocent?!

 

Lord Harry Huffington, IIILord Harry Huffington, III – Lord Harry is Kippy’s uncle from the British side of the family tree. Harry was known for being quite the “party animal” while at Bristol and was so gobsmacked by his first experience with Colorado Kitty Pot, he gave up his pints in favor of Kippy’s wacky weed. Rumor has it Harry carries a bag in his bowler.

 

Shadymon HuffingtonShadymon Huffington – Kippy’s 2nd cousin, once removed, hails from the beaches of Jamaica mon. Shady, as his friends call him, discovered Colorado Kitty Pot while visiting Kippy on vacation. So impressed was he, that Shady brought the goods back to the Island, where he now grows CKP and supplies all the kickin’ back kitties of the Caribbean.
