LOL. Frank used to go crazy about thyme.

LOL!   KFC is totally immune, and Boyfie has only indulged on a couple of
occasions.  He must be semi-immune.
I loved it when he did.  He rolled around throwing the little catnip muslin
pouch up and down in his paws, rubbed his head all over it and drooled.  He
was so stoned I wouldn't let him go outside for hours ;-)

I was unfamiliar with the word "lagniappe", so I looked it up on
dictionary.com. It has an interesting history:

la?gniappe   Pronunciation Key  (lan yap', lan' yap)

n. Chiefly Southern Louisiana & Mississippi
 A small gift presented by a storeowner to a customer with the
 customer's purchase.
 An extra or unexpected gift or benefit. Also called boot.

[Louisiana French, from American Spanish la ?apa, the gift : la, the
(from Latin illa, feminine of ille, that, the. See al-1 in Indo-European
Roots) + ?apa(variant of yapa, gift, from Quechua, from yapay, to give
more).]

Regional Note: Lagniappe derives from New World Spanish la ?apa,
"the gift," and ultimately from Quechua yapay, "to give more." The
word came into the rich Creole dialect mixture of New Orleans and
there acquired a French spelling. It is still used in the Gulf states,
especially southern Louisiana, to denote a little bonus that a friendly
shopkeeper might add to a purchase. By extension, it may mean "an
extra or unexpected gift or benefit."

Now that's a new one. I have to tell the Prophet Jeff about this; his cat
is not a niphead and Jeff had been looking for something else to try on
his Sweetie (a huge, long-haired, black rug of a cat whose purr you can
hear in the next county.)

I've also heard that some cats who don't do 'nip will take to valerian
root (the original source of Valium.) It doesn't have enough
benzodiazepine in it even to knock a fly out so I understand it's safe
(check with a vet!)

Ours are traditional Rasta-Kitties whose herb of choice is the Nip, Mon.
Pass de Mousie on de left hand side...

Blessed be,

Cali is big on scents too, loves flowery smells like Herbal Essences shampoo
and stinky feet. :p Cleo also likes the Nip and has recently become an
armpit snuggler. Smokey is not so big on the Nip or scents. Both Cali and
Cleo have spent time outdoors, we're not too sure about Smokey.

Persia adores lavender!  I got some lavendar spray for my pillow case (a
friend suggested it might help me sleep).  Persia went nuts rolling around
on the thing!  And it's not easy to sleep when you have a cat rolling on
your pillow.  Heheh.

Hmmmm, this caused me to go out my front door and pick some lavender
buds off my hedge.  I presented Vino with one and he sniffed at it and
walked away.  Now he's batting it around like it's a mousie.  But no
real nip-like effects.  However, Vino has been known to get turned on by
the smell of bleach.
