I LOVE how Shino Is just like
"No, Sorry, I don't do drugs."
Shino could've been the spokes cat/poster cat, when Nancy Reagan had her "Just Say 'No'" drug campaign!
Shino may be one of the few cats immune to catnip
@@rexstocephirxiii4263 no it’s like 50 percent or something
Valerian root works if catnip does not
My cat never cared for it either
That one cat is like... I don't do drugs. 🐱
"I don't need drugs I get high on life" 😹
My cat is in the 50% who ignores catnip, also.
The other cat likes Drugs 😹.
😹
"Not on camera."
My cats take one or two sniffs then instantly start ROLLING around in the stuff. They're absolutely covered in it. Its hilarious.
I don't get it, what is it?!
@@Theboxingobserver The plant name is Catnip. Mint family. Cat's love it and go funny. People also can make tea, eat raw leaves of it. But cat's act funny, chew it fresh if find in the garden or get access to the indoor plant, they go crazy when sniff it, etc.
I saw a programme many years ago that looked at weird stuff in nature and they looked at animals on substances, let's jus say! This particular episode in question opened up with numerous cats in a garden with catnip and they were completely off their teets on the stuff! Some were rolling round, there was lots of meowing, some purring and some were even chasing imaginary mice! It was crazy, I jus wish I could remember the name of that programme, though... That same episode showed a few things that Casual Geographic looked at when he covered the subject, such as the legless bees and the monkey being stoned literally out of his tree thanks to a centipede!
Cats are funny creatures. I know that a lot of people don’t like cats but I think they’re brilliant animals. Thanks for the video. 👍👍
"a lot of ppl don't like cats" Their number is nothing compared to ppl who actually like cats tho.
Amazing. I wonder why they like roll in it. If i was gonna do drugs I wouldn’t just rub it all over me face. Maybe I’m doing it wrong
i think its cuz it smells so good they just want to become the cat nip cuz of how nice it is
"Maybe I'm doing it wrong" LOL IM DEAD
tony would
Apparently catnip is a repellent ruclips.net/video/VSZ8ywgGNGM/видео.html
My cats always roll around in it
I've always seen other people's cats sniff and rub on the catnip but my cat would always just straight up eat the whole pile of it and then proceed to squeeze herself into the smallest possible container she could fit her chonk in and stare into space for an hour
Your cat is more in to edibles.
Don't harsh her buzz, man.
That’s cause catnip has a mild sedative in it…Which makes the cats just want to chill out and take a nap… It is completely safe for them to eat
@@Biotoze i was just gonna say that, sounds exactly like an edible trip
Hilarious and so cute 😃
This is the most interested my cat has ever been in a video in 10 years. She was sniffing and swatting at the screen and became very excited with large pupils as if she was on nip herself. Amazing!
I wonder if it was the body language of the other cats that made her act like she was high, that's interesting
😂
😮
There’s nothing better than seeing our little friends enjoy their selves with a touch of catnip 😻😻😻
I love how some of them are hesitants like "Is this... drugs?"
meanwhile Taiga: COCAINE!!!!!
Like Update
naw, Taiga be looking for that molly
Cause he's black
P.s IM NOT RACIS THIS IS JUST A JOKE PLS DONT HATE ME PLS IM SORRY I HAD TO DO IT IM HIGH RIGHT NOW TOO SO PLS FORGIVE MEEE
@@jossegargan5281 uhm.
@@jossegargan5281 ok, but that is racist?
Cats are so aloof, elegant, regal and poised. You give them a pinch of catnip and all of this distinguished cattitude goes up in flames in seconds. It's like they are a different animal.

Angry drunk, sleepy drunk or teetotal...
Uh, no. They aren't aloof, elegant, regal, or poised. They're moron derp machines and I love them.
Catnip is super easy to grow, if your cat doesn’t react to the dried stuff - it’s worth trying. Neither of my cats react to the dry, but they both would chew up the fresh grown.
How do you do that. Id like to try😊
I have 2 house panthers; a Tuxedo Ragdoll and a Mini Maine Coon, and they both love catnip.
Recently I was delighted to find some high - grade catnip that is literal top buds on the stalk and it's much better than the usual homogenized powder mixed with lots of lumber ( smaller branches cut up to extend the bunk ) that most pet stores like to sell us.
I have a short story to tell about catnip which may inspire some of you reading this:
A guy took some catnip plants and grew them indoors, but he introduced a blacklight which he would turn on briefly, the 'On ' time getting gradually longer as time went on ( forgive me, I don't know the specifics but it was a matter of a few seconds increase every time as I understand it )
WELL, this guy had his first harvest, and decided to bring some of his catnip over to a buddy's place ( who owned a cat ) - but he never made it there because as he was walking to his friend's house, about 30 cats had started following him due to the smell of the potent catnip.
He had to run back home and hope all the cats would leave him alone.
My boy Jack pretends he doesn't want any of it when the other cats are around. But if I sneak him some when it's just him, he rolls around in it like a baby, it's hilarious. Cats have such adorable personalities
wow thats so interesting!! say more!! :)
Maybe he doesnt want other cats to know how good it is haha
@@jaredmclaren5571 of all my kitties Jack is for sure the one to do that 🤣. My big tux cat, Milo, just rolls around and covers himself in it no matter who's watching haha
aw, shy catto Jack

I have a tiny white girl cat. The other day I accidentally spilled to much catnip on the kitchen floor. A few minutes later she came into my bedroom and startled me, because my white cat was completely green. She had completely covered herself in it. It was so funny.
Oh wow.
weed cat
@@TechnoTurbo Sprigatito,,,
Are we talking like, fits in your purse for you to carry around Hollywood type tiny white girl cat?
@@ezokyf Where did that come from?
My cat loved watching this video on the TV so much that I had to put it on repeat for her.
Just buy the cat some catnip instead...
@@Frenic1 I've done that, but she loves watching TV too. She loves seeing/hearing other cats, watching fish swim, etc. I have a playlist just for her.
@@richardwestphal1015this is the best thing ever
Every time my cat gets on catnip..turns every window into a t.v....just saying she loves it.
If you have cats that don't react to catnip, try silvervine. It grows in the mountains of Japan and all cats react to it. It is pretty expensive though.
brand new drugs for your cat 🥂
A quick trip to Mt fuji with my cats it is then ⛰️ 🐈
It's funny how we are so hung up on getting cats to do drugs 😂
What isn't expensive about Japan?
@@callesrubinova2182 sometimes it can help cats, vets put medicines in certain catnip’s.
The all-black cat that was completely BATHING in that catnip had me in TEARS!!! Such an absolute cutie
exactly what I was thinking about the names!!!
It's actually thought that the bathing thing is the reason cats like the stuff. It's basically an insect repellent, so instinct tells them to rub it all over themselves (provided the scientists are correct, of course)
“i need the weed NOW!”
The cute blackie reminded me of my black cat that I loved so much! Rascal, you've been gone nearly six years now, but I still miss you!
agreeeeeeeeeed!! ^^
LMAO these cats are STONED out of their gourd!!!!!
During the Summer months I am lucky to have catnip growing wildly in my yard. This fresh catnip (which gives off it's very unique potent smell once picked or rubbed) has driven every cat 🐈I know into a pleasurable high for a short time! It's hilarious especially when my three cats start swatting at each other in fun 😂 There is a world of difference between the dry and the freshly picked! Once I pick the fresh it's like my cats turn into flying squirrels coming at me because the smell drives them nuts!
My mum had some large, many-years-old catnip bushes growing in the garden which were very beautiful, nice smelling and aesthetic plants whoses purple flowers attracted hoardes of butterflies. The farm cats also loved to lounge right in the center of these bushes, lying on their backs and completely zoned out in the catnip scent under the Summer sun, occassionally taking tiny nibbles of the leaves whilst very slowly pawing at the air as butterflies went past. These farm cats were normally quite serious working animals but amongst those catnip bushes, they turned into a pair of very chilled out stoned hippy cats at peace with nature and the world around them.
Warm memories of a past time.
That’s lovely. If you don’t mind me asking, where was this farm?
this is a beautiful memory, i love it 🤍
@@ListenToStatic Wiltshire, England 🇬🇧
There’s a book in you ... 📖
Awwww! Wow!! What a nice memory! 💗😺
A few years back, I send catnip via snail mail to a friend with a birthday card for his cat. When they got home from work, they dropped the mail on the counter. Their cat puled the envelope to the ground and was rolling on the envelope and meowing. They didn't open it at first, just put it back on the counter. The cat kept knocking the envelope to the ground, rolling on it with a lamenting meow. My friends got impatient scolding the cat - They eventually opened the envelope to discover a birthday card for the cat and a small sachet of catnip. Priceless.
that's interesting. Funny how well they smell and just know how to react. Thanks for sharing. :)
That's adorable!! I love that you sent a birthday card to the cat with catnip. 💖💖
How sweet to send a birthday card for kitty, with catnip! Adorable story!
I think this is the cutest thing I've ever heard! 🥰🥰🥰
snail mail?
Years ago, my cat Boots absolutely went BONKERS when I first gave her catnip. She danced all over the place when she smelled it, and gladly gulped every bite of it! She was a real sweetheart.
0:26 i love how he smelled it and then started collapsing in it Lol
One of my cats rolled around in the stuff, the other one just ate it. Both got super sensitive to touch and start to fight halfheartedly with each other.
Their first contact with it was accidental at night, when they got into the food cupboard, and destroyed the newly bought package. I had the white carpet covered in 50 gram catnip when I got downstairs in the morning, and two very stoned cats. They did not touch the ‘nip for quite a while after this.
😂
10/10 great story 💀💀
10/10, fucking laughed. They overdosed.
You mean they REFRAINED from touching any more catnip?
Watch out for the edibles yo.
My parents, who were not big cat people, had catnip growing in their backyard and would complain how many cats were in the garden....🤣🤣🤦♀🤦♀ After a while my mom grew fond of watching them reacting to the catnip plant and told my dad to keep it. They had a beautiful English garden and didn't realize that catnip is part of the mint family and that they had gotten a catnip plant. My spouse found what we thought was a mint plant in our backyard, turns out it's a catnip plant. We sometimes go and get fresh catnip for our indoor cats. It explains why our next door neighbor's cat, Bob, loves to hang out in our backyard when he sneaks out of the house.
Mint and Catnip are both toxic for cats to eat.
I use it to make tea for myself.
I had a lot at my house as a kid, it smells really good, I think
Thats so cute. Thx for sharing
its like a bar for cats
Must be damn satisfying for them to roll themselves in it cuz they also like to be clean.

My special needs tortie would roll around in cat nip. She passed away in January and I am still struggling to cope, but the memories of her rolling in catnip warm my heart. Thank you for sharing
RIP
I'm sorry for your loss.
LOL ❤️❤️❤️
@@jeetskeet8162 lots of love
I'm so sorry for your loss.
It's thought that the reason the gene that makes cats sensitive to catnip and catmint, is that the oils in those plants that evolved to ward off pests also work on the parasites that affect cats, stuff like fleas and ticks. This means that over time, cats that responded to the catnip and mint by rolling in it were less likely to suffer from infestations, so the gene got passed down.
That would make such perfect sense as to why they roll in it.
Makes total sense but raises the question what do the cats experience then are they really getting high? Or is it just an instinct to roll.
@@demp11 It activates their opioid receptors. Cat heroin.
@ferret pleasure seeking reasons I'd assume
That is very interesting, I have one boy who I have to remove ticks frequently, the flea and tick treatment I use won't kill them, I use the only one that works on fleas because all the others I tried don't work, seems the fleas have become immune to these, anyway I'll try catnip next time there is a tick just to see what happens. It seems strange that Mr Tibbs is frequently attracting ticks whilst my other 4 cats seldom have them I need to research why
0:40 “Woah! That’s interesting, but I sure don’t care!”
I had several stalks of fresh catnip laying outside my door as I planned on harvesting it. By the time I came to get it, one of my cats was lying there covered in catnip. He was drooling so the leaves were stuck all over him. He was very "content" 😊
One day one of my cats just sat on the couch and wouldn't move for hours. This lasted for several days. I finally figured out he had gotten into a bag of catnip that was in a cupboard and had been snacking on it all day for days. He was a very stressy cat (a rescue) and I think it eased him. I put the catnip in a higher cupboard and doled it out in a more reasonable dosage. His passions were food and catnip.
I had a cat who once got into the bag of catnip and was laying in the hall just looking at the wall. We had to start putting it in more secure location. She usually hated being picked up, but that day she was like a ragdoll and was like: "Okay, you move me now." 🤣🤣 We kept checking on her until she was out of her daze, "Collette, are you still alive? Do you want food and water?" I miss that goofy cat.
This is wholesome. Unless it has bad effects on long term usage (like cigarettes, opiates etc. for us), I would have had that cat roll in it as much as iit wants.
mf was tweeking
Interesting Parents had a cat that would need a dark place after having the cat nip almost like a drunk or specific types of weed but he only liked the buds/flowers and smallest of leaves sometimes on the plant as if the rest was not strong enough and his sister liked the stem first by playing with it before chewing on it only but got stimulated by it almost like a person on meth or speed a specific type of meth going faster then most average house cats can.
It's literally weed for cats lmao. How come my cat is allowed to take "drugs" when I'm not?
1:11 I love how this one looks at someone like "Can I??????"
Max well
WOW, Psychedelic! Never seen cats "Trippin" before, I bet they're thinking "Look at all the pretty colors"...... Cute and Funny! Thanks made my day :)
2:18 looks like kitty softpaws
1:38 "Okay, enough of that ..." 🧐
This is the exact type of high-quality content I'm on the internet for!
Was that pun intended? lol
*high*-quality
I previously had 10 cats. They all went crazy over catnip. After they all passed, we adopted an adult cat and later a stranded outside now inside cat. One loves the nip while the other couldn’t care less.
All 3 of my cats react to catnip...however they typically just eat it then chill. It's fun seeing the ones that roll around in it! Great video.
It sounds like 3 of your cats don't react to catnip.😊
0:51
Chill dude
Bro is addicted
I grow organic catnip. It effects each cat differently and the part of the plant they get can make a difference as well as the freshness. Not all respond but I've found it's more like 80% enjoy 20% don't in my area. I've been told that in Australia the number of cats that respond to catnip is quite low as the original cats brought over didn't carry that particular gene.
Try making "Iced tea" with the catnip.
I make it and refrigerate it in the summer.
Give it to the cats in a bowl when it's really hot. Mine love it.
@@jonduggan7433 Great idea Jon, thanks. I was just out picking tenders for an order. I'm gonna share some tea with the pack.
Interesting! As an Aussie maybe that's why none of the cats my close family or I have owned had a reaction to it. All just treated it like we were shoving mint in their faces - with great disgust and insult lol
@@gtuyhjkml Lol, feline disdain. I'm familiar. From what I've been told. Cats are not indigenous and were brought over by the British. They were kept on the ships to keep the rats at bay. But it seems the cats they brought over, though rather prolific with reproduction, did not carry the catnip reaction gene.
Now I'm not a historian or a biologist. I am simply that crazy woman up the hill who grows catnip. You know, the one with all the weird plants and the cats. So take my history lesson with a grain of, well catnip LOL.
Oh the tea was very nice.
Valerian root works if catnip does not
I love how most of them are like "okay?" And taiga is just SNORTIN the shit up
Big cats act exactly the same way and its adorable.
I have 4 cats. One doesn’t respond to catnip. However, when I get the spices out, he ADORES Oregano and Rosemary. He doesn’t get high, but he’s definitely excited by the scents and rubs his face on the plastic bags holding the spices.
Yeah, one of my cats couldn't care less about catnip. The other isn't thrilled about it, but a dangle toy that had catnip on it, be ame his favorite place to lay on. I guess it had a calming affect on him. He goes crazy though when I'm taking my herb supplements, and tries to get them from me. He loves peppermint more than anything. And his absolute favorite place to lay is in the dirty laundry on things that smell like mildew. I'll put the laundry up, and he'll intentionally knock it over again, and pulls out dish towels and his favorite of all...a dirty wash cloth. He acts with it like other cats do with catnip.🤷🏼♀️
@@srvntlilly I like herb supplements too. Does your cat get in the way when you are trying to roll them up in their special dispensing papers? My cat always used to do that so I started using an Indian style peace pipe. It always makes me feel really peaceful. lol
@@srvntlilly Yeah! My gf used to have a cat that was CRAZY about peppermint.....she didn't notice this until she had left a package of peppermint tea bags out, and found them shredded up, all over the floor&cat. His nose would get a bit runny, and he would get cat zoomies.....who would have known that peppermint is similar to cat coke 🤷♂️
apparently they can have a pretty bizarre reaction to cinnamon as well, watch out...!!3

I used to grow catnip and give a leaf as a treat whenever I got a treat for myself, and then we'd sit and enjoy them together.
"treat"
@@jasonvoorhees5640 ^.~
my cats used to never react to it, but we got them some fresh catnip and they went absolutely wild for it! It's planted in our garden now and they just chill out there all day eating the leaves. so if you find your cat doesn't react to dry catnip try giving them a fresh leaf instead :)
that makes sense tbh if i eat magic mushrooms dried i can eat ounces and it does nothing but a few fresh ones and jfc its all over
oh thats interesting! i thought my cat was immune to it haha i'll give it a try
My cat never reacted to catnip but gave him some silvervine and he thoroughly enjoyed it lol

I need that tuxedo! So cute!
I believe the best term used to describe this sort of behavior is ''tripping balls''! Lol!
0:58 the cat : say no to drugs.
My cat definitely has the gene lol. The first time she saw catnip she just stared at it, occasionally slapping it like "What do you expect me to do with this?" then she sniffed it and immediately began rolling around to cover herself with it. I've heard some cats get more affectionate after having catnip. That wasn't really the case with her, she was purring but it seemed like she couldn't care less that I was standing next to her.
actually they can become more playful, as you can see on the video, more symptoms depends I guess, but it seems that it’s most likely they become more playful than affectionate as far as I observed, affection goes from cat to cat :)
They become so energetic and playful it’s cute
Surprisingly the opposite, two naturally affectionate cats became pretty aggressive with it towards each other and us in general so we didn't give them much- our other more aloof cat becomes a kitten with catnip
When I was a kid sitting in the living room one Sunday morning with my mother reading paper my cat came trotting down the stairs with my bag of marijuana in his mouth! The pot wasn't very good in those days but it is similar to catnip!! God bless all kitties and those who love them!
Other plants that cats respond to are dried valerian roots, matatabi sticks, and certainly a winner is fresh roots of a kiwi plant and kiwi berry, straight from the soil
1:18 shower before doing drugs, well done kitty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There's a big difference between commercial catnip and naturally collected and dried catnip. I have both kinds. The natural one I give my cat consists of just leaves. Nepeta Cataria . She definitely prefers the more potent of the two!
Ok,but what's the more potent one?
Which one of the two is the more potent though?
Curse you. Why will you not tell us which is more potent. Why would you not specify this information. Curse you.
Of course the natural picked one is gonna be better. Just as an example, try store bought peppermint and using mint leaves picked from the garden. Much better and greater taste of the garden ones
@@michixinqq not always, if catnip is some form of psychotropic for cats then it is different. Fresh picked herbs will always taste fresher, but commercial ones typically have been genetically enhanced to be bigger, last longer, and be stronger. I grow my own tobacco but smoking the stuff i grow is completely different to smoking store bought tobacco, the one you buy in a store is stronger and smoother because of all the stuff the put in it.
'Catcaine' kitty rubbed his entire face in it like scarface 😂
1:40 Yuri really said, “No touchy my stash.” 😂🚫✋🏽🌿🐈⬛
🤣 That thumbnail is comedy gold
The first cat that I owned that responded to catnip, really responded. I think she would have OD'd if she'd gotten into that much! Half a tsp had her all but passed out on the floor, eyes completely dilated, looking as if she'd single-handedly just smoked 6 whole doobies of "the good stuff"!
The cats rolling in it, yea that's my furbabies 🤣💜

1:59 "Where's the source of this good stuff? Does it grow in the plate?!"
Well, I tried it on my cat. He was a stray cat to begin with. Over the time of me feeding him and he was not anymore shy, I tried mixing some the dried catnip in his food and walla! Going Bob Marley mood and super friendly still until this day.

The wee hours I was awaken by a loud commotion to find my cats others in the area involved in a wild catnip induced free for all! How they managed to get it down is beyond me! It was hilarious and unforgettable.
"we found the stash boys!"
That's classic! They found a way!
I once left a bag of dried catnip in the garage and forgot about it until I found that my cat Loki found it and had chewed it open, as it was all over the garage floor.

The first cat I had as a child was unaffected by catnip. The cat I have now loses her mind in the most adorable and hilarious way.
I needed this today, thank you. Watching them absolutely BATHE in it is hilarious. My Russian Blue has zero effs to give about catnip, yet if I eat any dill pickle chips, he's on me like white on rice, literally forcing his nose into my mouth to sniff the dill, it's so weird. He's a lovebug who sits around my shoulders/in my lap all the time so he's always nearby but the AGGRESSIVENESS towards dill is ridiculous lmao.
If your cat doesn't like nip, maybe try silver vine. Reportedly, cats that don't like nip do like silver vine, and vice versa.
My cat also doesn't much care for catnip, but she will try to eat my coconut cookies. Apparently coconut oil is tasty to some cats? I have literally held such a cookie over my head to keep it out of reach and she's climbed me trying to get to it. And don't get me started on milk! (Of course she's one of the 80% who's lactose intolerant. This doesn't stop her.) Ridiculous girl.
My previous cats enjoyed catnip a bit...but they went absolutely INSANE for two things--my fish's algae disks, and the cranberry oil capsules I had for UTIs. Like...would fight me for them, almost chewed through the thick plastic cap on the pill bottle trying to get into them. No other supplement--even fish oil!--interested them. 🤷🏼♀️
@kitsu13 apparemtly ive heard that dogs and cats really like oils like coconut oil
@@boobwizard420 My cat's all-time favorite treat is olive oil.
😂 just say no to drugs. Cutest thing ever. That one cat was like “don’t touch my stash”. Get back.” 😂
Me smoking weed for the very first time. Nope.
That's literally what I said when watching the video "don't touch my stuff" I said out loud when the cat smacked the hand away...like stuff being you know stash
The cats that like it, they waller in it. They go crazy over a live plant too.
I have two cats. One is a catnip crackhead, the other is not as affected by it, but seems to get some sort of reaction. To double the fun, I put it inside a large box. The crackhead will get in and just go crazy, rolling, playing. We call it the Party Box.
I remember explaining to my dad once: "A cat on catnip is like a mixture of being high on coke, but also high on weed"
My grandma and grandpa said that catnip is weed for cats
My grandparents do coke not sure about grass tho.
Had I explained that to my dad, he would beat me to death... "How would you know" would be the last words I ever heard....

haha it may be due to your comment but when I went to 1:34-1:41 (because of your comment) it was the most viewed timestamp (is that one word? doesn't look right, anyways)...when you put the cursor on the timeline it shows a graph of the most/least popular views (repeats and such) and everything was one single straight line until exactly 1;34-1:41 where a perfect triangle forms
______/\______ I don't know why I just gave a demonstration...I think all *this* catnip is getting to me. Just thought I'd interrupt you 5 months after your initial comment to give you a heads up on this phenomenon. Your welcome 😸
@@susanivy3619ye i like this theory but maybe it might be because of the el gato cat was funny and angry that it was the most replayed for that reason maybe or both who knows
I've had cats that react like this to olives and coffee beans. Never actually ingested them, just went really weird rolling around and behaving odd.
I had one that loved coffee grounds if I didn't put the lid on the container on good he'd shove it off and eat the coffee grounds.

@@msmoonbeam91 Oh boy. "Coffee beans, grounds and brewed coffee contain caffeine, a very dangerous and toxic chemical to cats and dogs. Ingestion can be life threatening. According to the Pet Poison Helpline, a moderate amount of coffee can easily cause death in small dogs or cats."
@@remibrooks5994 true! I only found this out myself after googling when I came home to see our dogs had gotten into the ur bins and chewed open the coffee pods we’d chucked!
@@remibrooks5994... That's why I made sure to mention that they weren't ingested. Though one cat would steal my espresso if I didn't guard it!!!
I have catnip in my garden, some cats eat it, some roll in it (I think of it as "perfuming" themselves), and I have even had a cat who took a stem of catnip between its front paws, and started dancing with it on its back legs.
Ooooh this makes sense now. I always wondered why my cat wasn't affected by catnip. Thanks!
It's because only 50% of all cats react to catnip it's a gene thing
@@vomm i know lol i'm saying the video answered by question
Same.
Gave my cat catnip a few years ago and she couldn’t care less.
*However*
I woke up one day to find a trail of catnip leading out of my living room, through my kitchen and conservatory, out across my garden and up to the garden fence. At least one of my neighbours cats had a good time 😂
Make " tea " using a tea ball or strainer with catnip then freeze into ice cubes .
My cats LOVE to lick and roll around on the cubes on hot days in the summer.
It's hilarious when they drool while going crazy on cat nip 😂
In our herb garden, we grow "cat mint" (having the same properties as "catnip"). Our black cat "Doodle" would sit in the middle of the plant and act drunk (all the time). Our other two cats had no response to the plant. Among the three cats, Doodle was the smartest, the friendliest (totally social), and dog-like (he would come when you call and very responsive to our requests). We loved it when he sat in the middle of the plants. So did he.
p.s. catmint and catnip are two names for the same plant. Many many plants have many common names.
Yes, catnip is in the mint family. Catnip is the same plant as cat mint. Some people like tea made from it.
This little thread is very instructive! My mom planted both mint and catnip on a quiet side of our house where I'd often find one of our cats sacked out across the top of a bush in one of those odd sleeping cat poses, practically in a catnip coma! The bushes looked a lot alike but she was a pretty good clue which was which! Thanks for posting these comments, all of you!
