<G> I have lots of questions today, hope everyone doesn't mind!
I bought the kitties fresh catnip yesterday and I laid the bags of stuff on
the counter top. We have one cat who craves catnip, and the other one just
loves it <G>
Anyway, the older kitty (who craves it) actually CLIMBED up on the counter
(unheard of with him) and tore open the catnip in the time I was in the
bathroom.
Can they OD? What is too much?
TIA :)

It may have been too much, but they can't overdose on it. Well, not
unless they eat so much that they explode or something like that. :-)

No, they don't OD. They hit a saturation point - for my cats, that's
usually anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes of licking, eating, &/or rolling
around in it - & will loose interest in the catnip for a while.
