Now my childhood cat reeeeally enjoyed her fragrant toys, but somewhere out there you'll find furry felines that love staying catnip free. Bottles, blossoms, or birds, can your cats ever get enough of the green stuff?
My husband calls catnip "Kitty Pot" because seriously, it makes Eliot go absolutely crazy. He starts batting at the carpet and if we get out the laser pointer, he REALLY goes nuts. It's sort of a short-lived high for him though...it only lasts a few minutes and then he's super tired, lol.
Oliver isn't one to flame up the catnip bong. He's got a nip stuffed banana that, 99.9% of the time, he uses as a body pillow during his many, many naps. My theory is that for him to get that excited would require too much energy, only for him to get the munchies...which he ALWAYS has. ;)
Mine figured out that if they knock the plastic container thingy onto the floor and mess with it for long enough, they can get it open.
Little junkies.
My cat didn't bother with it until now. She was an outdoor cat for years and now we don't let her outside. I don't think she enjoys it as much as killing small animals, though. I'm still searching for some toys that will keep her occupied.
Colby loves it! He rolls around in it and eats it too. He used to chase me down the steps every morning and sit in his spot, waiting for some. But then he gets over it, a few months later he is back to the routine.
my cat goes nutty for it - when i sprinkle it on his scrater pad he rolls in it, licks it, scratches, etc. i've heard it has a 'high' effect on them and i believe it!
I read somewhere that older cats enjoy it more than kittens, and that is true for my cat. He's 4 and LOVES catnip now, but had no interest in it whatsoever when he was little. The kitten I have now has no interest in it, either.
My cat doesn´t even notice catnip´s existance. She smells, eats a little, nods (thinking "eeeew") and goes away. (While i put a "stupid" on my forehead with a pack full of catnip in my hands!)
lol
