Catnip!

[chainsaw cat]

Oh, ah.

Have I drastically misread yet another thread, thereby sending my non-existent credibility plummeting still further into the firs of Urban hell?

Oops, sorry.

Yes you have.

It may be my fault, on re-reading perhaps a sick mind could have generated innuendo from my post at 23:29.

I should have composed it in the knowledge that people like you exist and peer in on the clean world, dragging everything into the gutter when you can.

I should have said 'I use my hands to rub catnip and olive oil into pieces of uncooked lamb, from the shoulder of the animal, prior to cooking said victuals and eating them'.


Which is what I do on Sunday dinnertime before spending the afternoon wanking.

I can't help it, Urban has warped my fragile little mind.

Quoady, that link just took you to the first page which had many herbs on it(at very reasonable prices too, I may have to go back and look tomorrow )

But catnip's on there

 

[seeformiles]

There's two different grades of catnip:

1) Regular (lots of stems and twigs in it - bit like African Bush - says "Helps cats exercise and play")
2) Super-strong (The brand I get for Buttons is called KookaMonga. It comes in an odd shaped box and has a cartoon of a cat with druggy eyes - the "super-skunk" of catnips)

But catnip's on there

And has just been planted.

Two small, beautifully healthy, well-wrapped plants.

The cat has already had a good chew and drool, before (for unrelated reasons) I twatted a 2l plastic bottle against a wall and the poor bugger shot up and off faster than I've ever seen him startle before...

(((((soppy bollocks)))))

for the cats

 

[mrs quoad]

I've spent all afternoon giggling my socks off at the absolutely blitzed and dribbling cat. He was kaiboshed, drooling, and lurching off the walls, bless. Then went for a lie-down.

I have ordered three more live plants.

 

[tufty79]

excellent stuff.

For cats that aren't responsive to catnip, try valerian or honeysuckle instead - similar effect but for some reason being unresponsive to nip doesn't mean they won't react to these.

As far as i can tell its like cat crack.....

mine chomps on her catnip mouse, gets psycho, then tries to rap and pillage our feet for the next 20 mins.

Thanks to Aitch my cat got given some last night and went mental. I hope she enjoyed it

cause I was worried stiff at her spazaming accross the floor

Although there seems to have been no lasting damage

 

[Aitch]

She loved it!

Never did anything for my moggy - she just runs away from it (like everything else!)

Idioteque's British Blue went completely boo loo on the stuff yesterday. She's normally scared of her own shadow and rarely goes out of the house, normally only venturing outside if people or the other cat are around. After being given catnip yesterday, she went to the back of the garden, investigated the neighbours garden, and climbed on top of the shed. If you'd met her you'd know how much of a big deal this was. Then I gave her some more, and she went completely insane, rolling around the slanted roof until she eventually fell off, looked confused for a second then bolted inside.

We have a boy and a girl cat. The boy isn't really bothered and will sniff and play with catnip toys/old sock stuffed with it for about 5 minutes and then go straight back to his lazy slobbing. Girl cat on the other hand will act like a whore getting a grand an hour, rubbing and licking and rolling and just basically acting like a tart until she has drooled so much on it it must lose its potency. Once it has dried out she goes for it again.

We don't get it too often, kinda just when we see it and have old odd socks that need using, but when we do it has to be hidden in a cupboard otherwise the night's sleep is broken by tart cat jumping off walls to get at it.

I get loads of things stuffed with catnip for my lot, Radar is particularly hilarious because he just rolls over on his back with his pupils dilated, he picks up the catnip sock (or other toy) between his front paws and lays on his back rubbing it all over his face, looking completely loved up and blissful.

The other 2 go completely hyper and a bit scary.

Boyfriend has placed a catnip embargo on the flat after I gave some to our kitten for the first time

The kitten is mental anyway, spends a good 12 hours a day chasing balls, string, shadows, bugs, our feet, wires, pens, anything shiny and his own tail (yes at nearly 6 months he will still catch sight of his tail out of the corner of his eye and spin round in circles for a good 15 seconds before flopping onto his side and scrabbling to catch it, usually kicking himself in the face with his back feet in the process)

Our flat is made up of four small rooms in a kind of X shape and for about 3 hours he was just a greyish blur speeding from room to room, stopping every now and then to look from side to side in a twitchy way with mad staring eyes before he was off at the speed of light again and god help anything that got in his way

I read up on catnip before giving it to him and I also read that it doesn't affect about 30% of cats, some get very sedate and start rolling around, purring and drooling and some, like ours will just go completely insane.

Our cat does this - and she's 9 years old !
