Buy valerian teabags and give one of them to your cat. That's even funnier than catnip.

It's funny how catnip seems to affect cats in different ways. My old cat seemed to go drowsy and mellow with catnip, yet Mr Spud gets as high as a kite and full of beans, and starts tearing round the house like a kitten. :lol:

I think it works better on cats than people. That probably won't taste very good...

i bought a plastic bag of it, but my cat didn't seem to care for it so i put it on top of the refrigerator and forgot about it. then one day i came in to see the bag on the floor with all these little teeth marks in it.

i think he is a closet user...

Tastes fine. Just doesn't do anything for humans. :(

Well if it did, it'd probably be illegal like weed is!

Weed should be legal.

Cats should be incarcerated for chewing catnip.

Wait! Weed is illegal? I'll be more careful now.

I had one cat, who went all delirious when I offered her catnip. The one I have now, will get excited when I open the cannister, but when I give it to her, she just eats it, and doesn't seem any different. Or she'll just briefly roll in it and then walk away :?
