Hope my tomcat doesn’t see this.
Knowing him, he’ll put up a catnip lab in my house.

And will it work in man-nip to cause “tergitude”?

Cannabis is loaded with terpenes. They sell soil additives to increase them.

Ours hardly give it notice. They do like to sit out in the herb garden though.

It’s called chocolate.

More proof we need drug laws. Cats were once productive members of society, now all they want to do is lay about gettin stoned on the nip!

Most of the cats I’ve dealt with were indifferent to it. That particular tom was a real menace. The hummingbirds like it, though.
The plants are good and skunky in the sun.

I have read that feeding catnip to a dog is a good tranquilizer for them. Wonder if this is the ingredient that provides that service.

Not all cats react to catnip. Seems odd if its a chemical reaction. Youd think that theyd all respond, though perhaps to different degrees.
