Title: Catnip & Leo !
Post by: lisa77 on December 20, 2007, 09:46:59 AM
Bought some 100% pure canadian catnip cushions for when I got Leo & obviously he was too young to appreciate them. Now he is 6 months I thought Id buy some more... They came last night & he just sniffs them & walks away !!!!!

Do you think he will never be fussed at all if he hasnt been by now ?  My other cat Marley who lives with mum doesnt react either !!!!!

Some cats just aren't bothered.

Lirael isn't but Penguin & Smoke love catnip.

There you go ;)

The fussy ones are the best though, and Leo is so handsome anyway I believe you'll cope.

Ooo, I'm so glad this topic came up. Before I brought Memphy home I got him a bottle of Kookamunga Catnip spray and a box of the dried leaves. Not too long after I sprayed some toys with the catnip but nothing happened. I didn't bother and thought maybe he's not interested or maybe he's not affected.

Last night for some reason I got out the Catnip box. I put some in a bag put in one of the mouseys (he doesn't play with. Well he was going absolutely nuts  :Crazy: when I was doing it, trying to pinch the bag. Then he was playing with the mouse for a good 30 minutes non stop, he was cuddling it, licking, biting, rolling around. I threw it and he kept bringing it back. Then he fell sleepy. Soon after he was trying to get to the box (which I had shoved between me and the side of the chair). The box now has teeth marks  :evillaugh: :evillaugh: he was really wedging himself down the chair with just a little wiggly bum sticking out. The box ended up back in the cupboard!!!! Then he fell asleep on his back with his head tipped back at a funny angle (I swear, he looked drunk!!!  :evillaugh: :evillaugh:).

So he's either a fruitcake by nature or it was the catnip.

Bilbo and Baggins only like certain kinds - the stuff that Wiggly Wagglers have in 'em is always a winner. Bilbo is trying to get a load in on the black market, he's seen the opportunity to make a killing off the local mogs  :shify:

lots of cats don't do catnip - the present members of the household are actually the first I have ever owned who go bananas for it. Others have been take-it-or-leave-it.
