Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2003Question about catnip
I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in rpca. So what do you do with it? I can't conceive of just sprinkling it all over the carpet. Jill >I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in rpca. So >what do you do with it? I can't conceive of just sprinkling it all over the >carpet. We sprinkle it on the scratching posts/surfaces for the cats to roll on. We literally have a dozen of those all over the house. They *love* their catnip.  SignatureVictor M.

Rascal's mustache is so adorable! Thanks for showing us. Hazel Az >> I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in >> rpca. So what do you do with it?

She has one cat perch; I suppose I could sprinkle some of it on that and see if she likes it. Hmmm. Jill >I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in rpca.

Or what I do also is to put a little bit down on some newspapers on the floor. With seven cats, we have a catnip *party*, of course! It's too funny to watch all these guys sniffing, eating, and rolling around on catnip. Ginger-lyn > I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in rpca. So > what do you do with it?

I'm sure the cats would have no objection! <grin> I used to lay a newspaper on the floor, and sprinkle it on that - of course, by the time the cats were through with it, it was pretty much all over the carpet, anyway. There are any number of cat toys with refillable receptacles for catnip, or you can make your own catnip toys from old stockings, etc. (If you have a catnip plant, the cats will do their own nibbling.) >I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in rpca. So >what do you do with it? I can't conceive of just sprinkling it all over the >carpet. > >Jill -------------- I stuff infant socks with dry catnip and sew them shut. You can also buy or make refillable catnip toys--a bag of fake fur with velcro closure. Things like that. liv liv@garbage.ziplink.net take out the garbage to reply... If you can't beat your computer at chess try kickboxing. Hi Jill... I buy loose catnip. You can also purchase little fake fur "mice" with hook and loop tummies to stuff the catnip into. Or, you can do what I did... if you have a sewing machine... make your own little "catnip-stuffed-toys" from scraps of old blue jeans. The denim is very sturdy... yet allows the catnip fragrance to escape and thus, entice your feline friends. Your cats will be in la la land for hours with their catnip laced toys. Did you know you can make a tea for human consumption from catnip? Supposedly, humans can get a similar effect from the tea that cats get from sniffing catnip. Diane :)) > Did you know you can make a tea for human consumption from catnip? > Supposedly, humans can get a similar effect from the tea that cats > get from sniffing catnip. Wow, never knew *that*! May have to try it one of these days (why should the cats have all the fun?).... ;) Ann -- http://www.angelfire.com/ca/bewtifulfreak > Hi Jill... > I buy loose catnip.

Well, not exactly - its effect on humans is more that of a mild tranquilizer. (I came across a book on medicinal use of herbs which recommended an "infusion" - aka "tea" - of catnip for treatment of "hysteria and fits" in women!) >> Supposedly, humans can get a similar effect from the tea that cats >> get from sniffing catnip.

Ah, human feliway. That makes sense, in some strange way. Pam S. who's glad to have another reason (as if she ever needed one) for growing catnip. |
