Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Catnip is illegal
and now banned at my house. Ginger has always loved catnip rolling around in it being happy and stuff. Max it just never did anything for him, till today. I got a free sample in the mail and gave him some to see if he'd like it. He pawed in it rolled around in it and the next thing i know he and his sister are kicking each others butts over it. Not the reaction I expected. haha they act like a couple of addicts argueing over their fix! Tails swishing growling teeth snarled. Isn't catnip supposed to make them happy????? Has anyone ever seen a reaction like this before?? DHelderman > and now banned at my house. Ginger has always loved catnip rolling around > in it being happy and stuff.

He loves catnip but he gets aggressive and attacks Nikki pretty viciously when he's had a hit of 'nip, so I don't give them any very often.

I just put down more piles than there are aggressively possessive cats around at the time. T.E.D.

Stosh and Roxie are particularly possessive about their kittyweed, and we make sure that all the kids get their doses in close to equal portions, and not too close to one another. They'll exchange vulgarities over their stuff. But catnip seems to make Roxie and Odessa even more meditative, while it makes Stosh and Brandy rowdy. They'll go nuts and wrestle all over the house. They look like a whirlwind and make noise like you wouldn't believe, and not all of it printable. Those two, my Juvies, are a perfect example of party-hearty, frat-brat attitude; Roxie and Odessa are very clearly the Beatles in their Maharishi phase. Blessed be, Baha Soncek became very aggressive and bit me really hard, so I stopped buying it. Best wishes, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > and now banned at my house. <snip > Soncek became very aggressive and bit me really hard, so I stopped buying > it. We always warn each other when we give the cats fresh nip so we don't accidentally try to play with the stoned cat. Jo > and now banned at my house.

I bought some "catnip drops" today, which are like dry food, in a very small bag. I gave Boyfriend about 20 with his dinner, he ate everything , then laid by the fire and blinked slowly at me, like mellow. But he's often like that, so I don't know. Whilst bemoaning the lack of effect of nip on my cats last week, my friend told me that he knew someone whose cat leapt into the air as if it had been shot and swore and snarled at his very first sniff of it. They didn't get it again either. Tweed Heh heh. Sometimes it does seem to give Stinky a little extra swagger. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > Heh heh. Sometimes it does seem to give Stinky a little extra > swagger. ;) Nocturne uses medicinally :) She has stress and the only ways to relieve it are 1. nip, 2. exhuming litterboxes or 3. spilling Smokey's entrails across the rug. 2 and 3 are messier and more disgusting by far. It's odd that nip makes some of your cats aggressive, whereas for Nox, it is the only thing that mellows her out and actually makes her MORE roly-poly, tolerant, and friendly. The bitties devour it, eating it, gulping it down, but other than craving the taste, show little response. --Fil >> Heh heh.

I ended up planting some in a hanging basket by the front door, so it had a chance to grow before being mown down to the roots. Carrie doesn't seem interested in the crushed leaves - but has been known to bite my fingers when I've crushed catnip on them. SignatureCathi > and now banned at my house.

She'll show some interest but I think it's mostly because it's a new toy, not the catnip. Jill |
