Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2006Purrs for Scouty please
Scouty girl is sick! I didn't realise - I thought she was just cuddly and feeling insecure about the kitten... but yesterday she started puking, and she's got diarrhea :( She seems to be feeling alright aside from that or I'd be REALLY worried - but Silver was tearing through the house a few minutes ago and Scouty tore after her. Can an overdose of catnip do that to a cat? They broke into the catnip night before last and it was EVERYWHERE in the morning and that's when the puking started. Silver seems to be perfectly fine. I'm wondering if she's suffering from too much stress over the new kitten? I just gave her a bowl of kitten kibble and she ate half of it... now to see if it comes back up :(  Signature~Karen aka Kajikit My website - http://www.kajikitscorner.com My photos - http://community.webshots.com/user/kajikit There is no more intrepid explorer than a kitten. - Jules Champfleury > Scouty girl is sick!

As you say, it could be too much catnip. SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) A House is not a home, without a cat. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk > > Scouty girl is sick!

With the dihorrhea, I say keep an eye on her and if she still has it tomorrow, take her to the vet to make sure she doesn't get dehydrated. Purrs. --Fil > Scouty girl is sick!

That's the #1 side effect listed from "overdose." Apparently it isn't dangerous, everything I've ever read/heard seems to agree about that. If anyone has heard differently, I'd like to hear about it. I was always suspect about that. After all, catnip is an herb; and herbs are basically medicine. I always wondered if eating too much catnip can really be particularly bad for them. I always put the catnip in a sock, but invariably they find the stash anyway if I don't lock it away in a drawer. Once I put a sealed container on top of the refrigerator, and in the a.m. there was catnip all over the place. Sherry I'd just keep an eye on her today. If she ATE a lot of the catnip, it might have upset her tummy. If she continues to throw up, then I would take her in, but with the nip raid, and the fact she is still playful, I'd just keep an eye on her for now. > Scouty girl is sick!

Keep us updated. >Lily & her mama Judging by the mess and how much I KNOW was in that bag to start with, it wasn't just a 'little' too much. I'm honestly surprised by it too - it's Silver who's the niphead so I'd have expected her to be sick from it, not Scouty! I gave her some kitten kibble this morning and it seems to have stayed in her tummy... so hopefully it's just a nip hangover.

I'm glad to hear that the kibble stayed put and I hope she's feeling better ASAP. Susan M Otis and Chester >Can an overdose of catnip do that to a cat?

Purrs that Scouty is just having a touch of tender tummy, and will feel better pronto.
