Not all cats go gaga over nip. It's actually a hereditary trait. Bijou,
Simba and Christian went after it as if it were ambrose. Leo, meanwhile,
couldn't care less.

If Moe has no interest in nip, it's just the way he's built. Lotsa cats
are indifferent toward it. Don't sweat it.

Amazing that you should put that. My cat has been after my valerian
root for days. I did not purchase it until recently. When I was out
of the house yesterday he got the jar off the shelf and the capsules
were all over the floor. He had chewed a couple as well.

The valerian root reminds me of the smell of old cigarette ends.

Honeysuckle!

One farmers' market sells honeysuckle cat toys here, and our cats really
liked them.
