I know this is dumb, but are cats
supposed to eat catnip? My
persian does. She would rather
eat it than play with it! Will it
hurt her?

it will not hurt her. Tonight mycat was feeling a little too wild so
a gave her a sprig of catnp. It calms her. MLB

Not that I'm aware of. My previous cat ate it and rolled in the left-overs
and my current one just eats it.

I have a patch of fresh catnip growing that I give my babies some of
maybe once a week and they go ballistics over it. Have been doing for
about a year or so and it has not hurt them. As for eating the dry
stuff - I do not know.
