I'm a bit concerned about my cat's drug habit

[jmowreader]

He thinks catnip is the best cat treat there is, but he doesn’t get high on it at all. He’d probably eat a pound of it if I’d let him.

1. My Ruby just walks away

My son sent some catnip balls n she is just not interested. Crazy cat

2. My cat becomes quite crazy when on the nip.

We are all out right now because our local grocery hasn’t had it in months.

3. My cats love it

They sniff it, sort of vacuum it up with their nose and mouth, they're voracious. Then they find a spot, to lay down and go to sleep.

4. I have pictures

of some of the shelter cats on their catnip highs. Some of them are hilarious. I usually go around and distribute drugs after I clean kennels. Everyone gets some except pregnant or nursing moms or kittens under a year old.

I've noticed that, generally speaking, black cats get higher and stay high longer than cats of other colors. Maybe it's a genetic thing. And like you say, some cats just don't care, while others just hoover it up.

5. Neither of mine react to catnip

But Pooper goes crazy over menthol and regular mint stuff. She’ll lick Carmex, menthol cigarettes (yikes! My ex smoked them and he had to keep them locked away), and I have to hide mint gum and candy from her. I’ve caught her huffing my pillow when Carmex has rubbed off on it.

6. Catnip comes in a spray bottle too.

I use it to “train” my cats. When I want to introduce them to a new bed or a new toy, I spray it on the new item and they come running. It works for my 4 house cats and the little colony in my back yard.

I like the spray form because it’s not messy and they can’t eat it. And now they recognize the sound when I shake the bottle before spraying it. Chewy and Amazon carry it.

7. like any drug addict, he needs more and more to feel it
