So it would make sense that kittens are not usually attuned to it, and also that males tend to be more interested in catnip than females. Of course, there are no absolutes with cats, as we all know! Nope - all 3 of mine (2 girls and one boy) are insane over the stuff! Joyce |

"Kreisleriana" wrote in message ... I don't know for sure, but I think all kittens are immune to its effects and they don't start enjoying it until around 1 year of age. I am going right now to test some on Dante just for fun. He has been immune to nip thus far, and frankly, he doesn't seem to need it to be goofy. If they don't feel the effects until around a year old, then Qui Gun Kit is an old cat in a young body. He's been a nipaholic for several months now. He'll be a year old on March 28. Pam S. |

Please let us know if he does - I'd like to know if this is correct or if it's just a myth. You mean about kittens not being interested in catnip? Oh, that's definitely true. I've seen it before. It's just that Rita was *supposed* to be 2 years old when I got her, but my vet said that she looked closer to 1 year, but that's still old enough to like catnip, and she didn't. Now, almost a full year later, she's very interested in it. So.....is she 3 years old, or 2 years old, or was she even younger when I got her, almost a year ago? But I've had kittens in the past, who weren't interested in catnip, but saw them attack it when they were older than 6 months. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita Vino was about 6 months when he first showed real interest. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the aromatic portions of catnip are very similar to cat sex hormones, and affect *that* part of their fuzzy brains. So it would make sense that kittens are not usually attuned to it, and also that males tend to be more interested in catnip than females. Of course, there are no absolutes with cats, as we all know! Of my two, the female is the greater nip-head. Will appreciates it and will lick at any toy to which it is applied, but Heidi starts acting goofy and rolling on the floor before she's even located the source. -- Wayne M (indulged by Will and Heidi) |
