Re: i must have the only cats who dont like catnip


interesting fact....
Apparently cats are either catnip responsive or not. So they either love it or they don't (kind of a marmite type of thing) & it is thought that only 50% of cats are catnip responders -

Most of mine over the years didn't particularly care for it, two of them got hilariously silly! Leia likes to eat it fresh from the garden but doesn't especially react to it. And now of course the frost killed it all off, so no more till next year.

Re: i must have the only cats who dont like catnip


barnaby used to go mad for it LOL a real big kitten.
ronnie has taken a liking to a large mouse, hes been dragging all over the flat, looked at hte balls n paper balls.
might get some of the purr thats been mentioned.
they have got piles of food down so happy full up pusses, plus they had a squirt of cream which they adored.
hope the kits are all having a good night.
i got a lovely book on cats from my daughter really interesting, will have a good look through ;later.

Re: i must have the only cats who dont like catnip


India loves the Armitage's cat nip treats but takes no notice of the catmint in the garden. Next doors cat Skeg used to blow her mind on it when there was a really big clump and she would go home looking for all the world like she was drunk Present catmint is in a tub on the patio. I only got it in the Autumn and I don't think Skeg has found it yet. It will be interesting to see what happens when I plant it out in the Spring. Logoes

Alex, if you like, could mail you some catnip seed next Summer when it sets seed..this is a very sturdy variety of catnip; it was almost 5 feet tall this summer...I call it my mutant catnip! It re-seeds itself.
