To catnip or not to catnip?
I've been trying to see if catnip is bad for cats. In googling I
don't see much on it here. We've given it to our cats (ages 2, 7, 12), and they all love it, don't seem to be any health issues. Are there any health issues, or things to know? My theory is cats & dogs are on this planet a much shorter time than people, so we should spoil 'em rotten. If they wanna roll around in catnip and get high, and I love to watch it, why not? But my wife says it's bad for them. She hasn't researched it, she just hates the mess, I think. Thoughts? Much appreciatd! T |

I have never heard that it is bad for them.
LOL :-) We have two house cats right at the moment and one loves the catnip and the other has no effect from catnip whatsoever. I read somewhere that it is a genetic thing, whether a cat is effected by it or not, some cats just don't get "high" from catnip. The downside, over here at my house, is that the cat who enjoys it gets downright nasty when he partakes of it, so I try to limit his intake... It is funny to watch though... |

To catnip or not to catnip?
I want to know why mine eat the catnip. I give them some dry catnip and
they proceed to eat it. Hmmm.... S. -- **Visit me and my cats at http://www.island-cats.com/ ** --- wrote in message ... I've been trying to see if catnip is bad for cats.

Why deny them? |

I hope that was LOADS of sarcasm, but I'd say to you - consider a post that answers the question more than it offends. T |

Cats love catnip, no one disputes catnip as a health issue... feed away ;-) I got a good chuckle out of this... But if you are not giving catnip because of the mess... that does kind of make a person wonder... you know??? The mess? You don't have to throw down a cupful of the stuff! |
