I don’t know if spa day is how I would describe that.
My thoughts exactly! I thought the phrasing was hilarious.
chatgpt tell me a fun fact about cats and end it with a weird metaphor like you always do
I would describe it Cocaine
Most cats I’ve had will sniff the nip, roll a bit, then go “ehhh boring” basically.
Maybe we’ve only ever had weak nip!
Fresher is for sure better. I grew some in my garden.
Oh! Also, don’t grow it in your garden, it took over and is extremely hard to control, do it in a raised bed or a potted plant lol.
Cute lil addicts
Ahh, the mint of the cat world!!!
They’re very closely related actually!
Can confirm. My cat doesn’t give a crap about catnip. She does go crazy for the smell of stinky feet though.
Cats are especially sensitive to the pheromones/sweat your foot produces. They typically love that scent. I’ve caught several of my cats with their faces buried in stanky shoes on multiple occasions.
I was cat sitting for my sister in law, and her cat jammed her whole face deep into my shoe and sat there for a minute. When I got home, my cat did the same thing on the same shoe. After that I was pretty self conscious about stinky feet.
Catnip is easy to grow. Where I live it grows like a weed, eventually goes to seed and then plants come back the following year all on their own.
If you have ever enjoyed sprinkling a little bit of dried catnip on your scratching board and watching your cat go wild, you’ll love cutting down a big live plant, chopping it up on a cutting board, and stuffing an old gym sock with it.
There is another similar cat-drug called “silverline” or something that cats without catnip genes can still get high on. My sister’s cat likes it but not a ton (he doesn’t get high on catnip)
Silver vine 😊
Thanks! Our cat doesnt react to catnip at all and I had never heard of silvervine.
Some cats also find black olives to be a bit intoxicating.
That’s interesting! Now I want to experiment with my son’s cats.
I’ve never had a cat that is into catnip, but I had one that was into black olives.
They would come running from the farthest parts of the house if a can was opened, and they would only play with the olives and rarely eat much of them.
My parents old cat never seemed to be like this, no real interest in nip.
However he’d spend most days sitting in the honeysuckle they had in the garden occasionally swatting hapless birds that flew in.
