Mint is similar to catnip, is it not?

I've been sick with a sinus-something for the last week.  This morning after
Persia's early morning play-session I made myself a cup of spearmint tea
with honey to soothe my throat.  Persia came up, nose twitching like a
rabbit, to sniff the tea.  She was absolutely fascinated by the scent.  She
stuck her face in the mug.  Fortunately she's not one of those cats who
jumps on tables or tips over mugs/glasses.  Otherwise I think she'd have
gotten a face full of scalding hot tea.

I think she likes mint.  Funny, in all the years she's been here she's never
really shown an interest in mint until now.  (I do know the losenges I've
been using for my sore throat are of no interest.)
