What is you cat's tolerance to catnip?

[Beware the Beast Man]

I remember reading that catnip's effects are stronger to young adult cats. Coleman, who is 3, gets seriously hopped up on catnip from time to time. Catnip does nothing for six-year-old Eleanor, however.

2. Mine's a real 'nip head and he's 15

He knows where the stash is and will sometimes sit next to it and cry till I give him some.

3. most of mine

will go freeky for some 'nip. i grow my own y they love the "fresh" stuff.

catnip is of the mint family, and will grow very agressively w/ little trouble. a great "window-box" herb. mine gets leaves as big as my palm and is very fragrant.

whenever i have to take 1 to the vet's, i crumble a leaf in the carrier to ease the journey, y take a sprig along for the resident-cat @ the clinic. the tech's call mine "cat-maui"...

4. Here's a question to ponder:

How many cats would a catnip nip, if a catnip could nip cats?

5. Coleman goes nuts over his herb...

Of course, he goes nuts over rustling leaves and the DVD screensaver, too. :eyes:

6. Well, of our five

One is a real freak, she knows where it is and when I get the bag she's right there, our youngest likes it, not as much but she's in line for the next toke.
The other three could care less, they may take a hit every now and again, but they're just social users.

7. Both of mine love it.

They're 8 and 13, respectively.

8. Most of my cats just drool except for Smoky

He's a mean drunk. He gets cat nip and he starts swiping at people.
