Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2006Proper use of catnip?
I a confused about catnip basics: Is it used for aroma, or is it something cats like to eat? In practice, do you sprinkle it over an area for scent or offer a soonful to the cats in a plate? both every cat is different I have ones that inhale it others would eat as a snack if I would let them >I a confused about catnip basics: Is it used for aroma, or is it > something cats like to eat?

It is the scent they love, but one of my cats eats it and one just rubs all over it. There is really no proper or improper use, your cats know what to do with it. :) I used it as a non-edible reward when I put my fatcat on a diet. > > I a confused about catnip basics: Is it used for aroma, > > or is it something cats like to eat?

I've also used it to entice mine to eat his canned food by sprinkling a bit on top when he's being finicky. Kelcey > I a confused about catnip basics: Is it used for aroma, or is it > something cats like to eat?

I put some on a paper towel on the floor. My kitty eats some and rolls in the rest. Some cats don't respond to catnip. I guess it's a genetic predisposition. But some do! Isis, my Tabby, loves it. I sprinkle some down over her head. She gets a good sniff and then has a fine sneeze for herself. Sometimes I rub a little in her fur. Then I put more on the carpet and watch the fun. She eats it all up, rolls around in it, acts goofy, and declares war on her tail. After a while the thrill wears off and we're back to normal. If your cat likes catnip you'll know right away. Be warned: the first time your cat gets a snootful you may think it's A-OK to pet your cat. Catnip is unpredictable in its effects. I got some nice scratches the first time Isis had catnip! <-: Try some and see what happens!

It becomes a favorite toy. Be sure you get really fresh catnip, not the junk from the grocery store. Fresh from your own plant is best, but there are some quality dried ones out there. And don't pet your cat- just watch the fun! Morgen : I use an unmatched sock, put some catnip in it and tie it up. It : becomes a favorite toy.

You mean the packets they sell at Petsmart aren't good? We are city apartmenters, so it has to be store bought. Well, if you buy from a pet store I'm sure you'll be fine. I have some that's a couple of years old in a plastic jar and it still packs a punch! Mike in Illinois > : I use an unmatched sock, put some catnip in it and tie it up. It > : becomes a favorite toy.
