Question about catnip
I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in rpca. So
what do you do with it? I can't conceive of just sprinkling it all over the carpet. Jill |

We sprinkle it on the scratching posts/surfaces for the cats to roll on. We literally have a dozen of those all over the house. They *love* their catnip. -- Victor M.

She has one cat perch; I suppose I could sprinkle some of it on that and see if she likes it. Hmmm. Jill |

Thanks for the pics! Jill |

Jill You can, like Victor said, put it on the scratching post and such. Or what I do also is to put a little bit down on some newspapers on the floor. With seven cats, we have a catnip *party*, of course! It's too funny to watch all these guys sniffing, eating, and rolling around on catnip. Ginger-lyn |

I'm sure the cats would have no objection! grin I used to lay a newspaper on the floor, and sprinkle it on that - of course, by the time the cats were through with it, it was pretty much all over the carpet, anyway. There are any number of cat toys with refillable receptacles for catnip, or you can make your own catnip toys from old stockings, etc. (If you have a catnip plant, the cats will do their own nibbling.) |

They *love* their catnip. Persia doesn't have claws. In the light of some of your previous posts, why am I not surprised? Why do I sense animosity? She *came* that way. I didn't adopt her; she adopted me by crying at my back door and demanding to be let in. She was left to run loose, defenseless, with only back claws. I do the responsible thing and keep her inside. She's happy. Jill |

Hi Jill...
I buy loose catnip. You can also purchase little fake fur "mice" with hook and loop tummies to stuff the catnip into. Or, you can do what I did... if you have a sewing machine... make your own little "catnip-stuffed-toys" from scraps of old blue jeans. The denim is very sturdy... yet allows the catnip fragrance to escape and thus, entice your feline friends. Your cats will be in la la land for hours with their catnip laced toys. Did you know you can make a tea for human consumption from catnip? Supposedly, humans can get a similar effect from the tea that cats get from sniffing catnip. Diane ) |

May have to try it one of these days (why should the cats have all the fun?).... Ann -- http://www.angelfire.com/ca/bewtifulfreak |
