Scooter enjoying some catnip. Do your cats eat it too? All three of my cats will sit and eat it for a while before flopping down and rubbing it all over themselves and the floor.
Faces of nip.
Catnip. NOT EVEN ONCE!
I bought a catnip plant and my cat cannot get enough of it. Munches on it daily. Highly recommend.
My mom went to war with rabbits eating her plants. I suggested planting catnip in places that are hidden/out of the way.
She doesn’t have a problem with rabbits anymore … and the niece loves watching the cats,
This is actually so smart, I’ll have to remember this tip if I ever have a rodent infestation in my garden.
Catnip flowers are also very attractive to pollinators, so that’s another benefit your mum got! Hopefully the cats don’t try to eat any bees.
Be warned … it’ll attract cats. This includes the friendly, well cared for cats that just got let out (or escaped) but it also includes the feral and semi feral types.
This may not be a concern for you, though it is highly effective.
Does it affect or otherwise attract mountain lions? I live in a mountain range that has a small but significant mountain lion presence, so while my cat would love to have some live catnip around and I’d love to have some more pollinators, I really don’t need to increase the odds of a mountain lion hanging around.
I’m far from an authority though. Your kitty’s vet might have a better answer
You can always pot them and keep them indoors, if it’s for house cats.

My two cats do exactly the same thing. I put the nip in the tops to large food containers so that it helps contain the nip a bit better while hopefully being easy to roll in after they’ve had a good nosh. They are the messiest stoners.
