I saw a programme many years ago that looked at weird stuff in nature and they looked at animals on substances, let's jus say! This particular episode in question opened up with numerous cats in a garden with catnip and they were completely off their teets on the stuff! Some were rolling round, there was lots of meowing, some purring and some were even chasing imaginary mice! It was crazy, I jus wish I could remember the name of that programme, though... That same episode showed a few things that Casual Geographic looked at when he covered the subject, such as the legless bees and the monkey being stoned literally out of his tree thanks to a centipede!

[@midnightkitty8172]

I have 2 house panthers; a Tuxedo Ragdoll and a Mini Maine Coon, and they both love catnip. Recently I was delighted to find some high - grade catnip that is literal top buds on the stalk and it's much better than the usual homogenized powder mixed with lots of lumber ( smaller branches cut up to extend the bunk ) that most pet stores like to sell us. I have a short story to tell about catnip which may inspire some of you reading this: A guy took some catnip plants and grew them indoors, but he introduced a blacklight which he would turn on briefly, the 'On ' time getting gradually longer as time went on ( forgive me, I don't know the specifics but it was a matter of a few seconds increase every time as I understand it ) WELL, this guy had his first harvest, and decided to bring some of his catnip over to a buddy's place ( who owned a cat ) - but he never made it there because as he was walking to his friend's house, about 30 cats had started following him due to the smell of the potent catnip. He had to run back home and hope all the cats would leave him alone.

My mum had some large, many-years-old catnip bushes growing in the garden which were very beautiful, nice smelling and aesthetic plants whoses purple flowers attracted hoardes of butterflies. The farm cats also loved to lounge right in the center of these bushes, lying on their backs and completely zoned out in the catnip scent under the Summer sun, occassionally taking tiny nibbles of the leaves whilst very slowly pawing at the air as butterflies went past. These farm cats were normally quite serious working animals but amongst those catnip bushes, they turned into a pair of very chilled out stoned hippy cats at peace with nature and the world around them. Warm memories of a past time.

A few years back, I send catnip via snail mail to a friend with a birthday card for his cat. When they got home from work, they dropped the mail on the counter. Their cat puled the envelope to the ground and was rolling on the envelope and meowing. They didn't open it at first, just put it back on the counter. The cat kept knocking the envelope to the ground, rolling on it with a lamenting meow. My friends got impatient scolding the cat - They eventually opened the envelope to discover a birthday card for the cat and a small sachet of catnip. Priceless.

My parents, who were not big cat people, had catnip growing in their backyard and would complain how many cats were in the garden....🤣🤣🤦‍♀🤦‍♀ After a while my mom grew fond of watching them reacting to the catnip plant and told my dad to keep it. They had a beautiful English garden and didn't realize that catnip is part of the mint family and that they had gotten a catnip plant. My spouse found what we thought was a mint plant in our backyard, turns out it's a catnip plant. We sometimes go and get fresh catnip for our indoor cats. It explains why our next door neighbor's cat, Bob, loves to hang out in our backyard when he sneaks out of the house.

One day one of my cats just sat on the couch and wouldn't move for hours. This lasted for several days. I finally figured out he had gotten into a bag of catnip that was in a cupboard and had been snacking on it all day for days. He was a very stressy cat (a rescue) and I think it eased him. I put the catnip in a higher cupboard and doled it out in a more reasonable dosage. His passions were food and catnip.

[@amberscoutstarwatcher]

I had a cat who once got into the bag of catnip and was laying in the hall just looking at the wall. We had to start putting it in more secure location. She usually hated being picked up, but that day she was like a ragdoll and was like: "Okay, you move me now." 🤣🤣 We kept checking on her until she was out of her daze, "Collette, are you still alive? Do you want food and water?" I miss that goofy cat.

[@Daktangle]

It's thought that the reason the gene that makes cats sensitive to catnip and catmint, is that the oils in those plants that evolved to ward off pests also work on the parasites that affect cats, stuff like fleas and ticks. This means that over time, cats that responded to the catnip and mint by rolling in it were less likely to suffer from infestations, so the gene got passed down.

[@MegaTurkeylips]

That would make such perfect sense as to why they roll in it.

We had a feral "barn cat" (male) that I tried to tame. I got it so I could pet its head, but trying to touch any other part of its body caused it to hiss, swat at me and run away.

To my utter surprise, the cat had no reaction to the stuff at all. As strange as it seems, horses are more closely related to cats than either are to humans (they are both Laurasiatherians) and so I tried the catnip on my horse and the one next to him. They didn't go nuts like some cats do, but they were definitely interested.

Surprisingly the opposite, two naturally affectionate cats became pretty aggressive with it towards each other and us in general so we didn't give them much- our other more aloof cat becomes a kitten with catnip

I have catnip in my garden, some cats eat it, some roll in it (I think of it as "perfuming" themselves), and I have even had a cat who took a stem of catnip between its front paws, and started dancing with it on its back legs.

Some cats don’t react to catnip at all. Another thing that cats go nuts over, for those who like catnip, is Valerian Root the natural sleep sedative. Valerian Root and Catnip come from the same plant family.

My mother had two cats. One would sit there and gorge on the catnip, get spacey and then pass out. The other would roll in it and then climb the walls. Funny how cats respond differently.

[@qataripekarsky]

I’ve heard eating it makes it act like a sedative (cat gets sleepy) while rubbing it on their fur makes them hyper (which syncs with what you described and with my personal observations since I, too, have 1 cat who eats it then naps and 1 cat who rolls around in it then gets the zoomies).

There's a big difference between commercial catnip and naturally collected and dried catnip. I have both kinds. The natural one I give my cat consists of just leaves. Nepeta Cataria . She definitely prefers the more potent of the two!

Curse you. Why will you not tell us which is more potent. Why would you not specify this information. Curse you.

[@michixinqq]

Of course the natural picked one is gonna be better. Just as an example, try store bought peppermint and using mint leaves picked from the garden. Much better and greater taste of the garden ones

[@alexvermaak1759]

@@michixinqq not always, if catnip is some form of psychotropic for cats then it is different. Fresh picked herbs will always taste fresher, but commercial ones typically have been genetically enhanced to be bigger, last longer, and be stronger. I grow my own tobacco but smoking the stuff i grow is completely different to smoking store bought tobacco, the one you buy in a store is stronger and smoother because of all the stuff the put in it.

Well, I have a 21-year-old, mostly white cat named Angel who does have quite a liking toward catnip. Whenever I bring her favorite furry toys stuffed and powered with it, I can't get it to her quickly enough! Once she's got it, she plays with it and manages to get some of it from the furry toy and even manages to poke her claws into areas where she smells it. Once she's got her fill, after rolling around, eating some of the catnip and chewing some of it, and while salivating, bathes herself with it, she rolls around some more while purring quite happily. As a couple of my sighted friends also commented, "she looks stoned." I assure them that she's just very happy and in a sort of trance with pur-e-glee. After about 30 minutes, she finds me or the bed and plops herself stretched out as long as possible on me or it. Of course, I have to gently loosen her claws out of my fabric, because she's managed to quite happily dig in! Fortunately, she never breaks skin, but I remind myself to wear blue jeans, because dennum is thicker. She also loves to talk about her day when she's a bit high on the stuff, and I quite enjoy talking with her, too. Finally, she will rub her nose into her toy or toys to ensure she gets that wet nose fully coated with the essence or whatever she finds so appetizing about that catnip! Then, it's a few more minutes of following me all around the house until she's exhausted. She loves to sleep for as long as possible after that. Whan she awakes, she's almost as good as new, and the day is just fantastic!

[@sourgreendolly7685]

Hello my friend as the world gets closer and closer to disaster i would highly recommend that you reaffirm your love for Jesus. We need to be working hard making disciples and strengthening the ones that remain. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would make every effort to become one. Sweden is testing out that RFID chip to buy goods with (mark of the beast) and Russia and Iran (Gog and Magog + persia) are on track to cause disaster. Pray for Him to intervene in your life and look for the motion of His hand. More than anything repent of your sins and start informing other people
