One of our friends has bought Blip a packet of catnip teabags! I thought this was just a novel way of packaging catnip, but no - apparently you make a tisane with the teabags, let it cool and then give it to your cat to drink!?
I haven't heard of this before and wondered if anyone else had used them? I'm very much inclined to throw away the brew and just let Blip have the dried up tea bag to play with, I think...

I won some last year - I haven't bothered making tea out of them, but they go down well even without making tea from them first. Humans can also drink catnip tea - can't remember what effect it has on us though.

None of our rescues will touch the tea,they prefer a drop of the hard stuff Catnip in mouse

I usually grow fresh catnip in my herb patch or buy in a pot in the summer because cats tend to lay on it and squash it down. I've munched the leaves too but they are an acquired taste - supposed to be good for digestion.
-
I've seen them, but never used them. Let us know how you get on!

Me won some too in the last years Auction. They are meant to have a calming effect on us humans if drank as tea.
I just gave my lads the bags and they loved them!! ;D Not a calming effect though!!! :rofl: :rofl:

i won some in last years auction too and the cats liked them just as they were. i also grow catnip and pick the leaves and put it in sucky sock :rofl: :rofl:
the cats now have so many catnip toys i reckon they become immune, although certain ones stay favs.

Try the catnip teabags from Whittards (the tea and coffee supplies shop).... Just the bags rather than making tea with them. Makes our two go absolutely nuts :)

Soxey loves the catnip tea from Whittards the tea bags are semi mouse shapped and when they dry out are a great toy (which Soxey can play with for hours) and they are very strong, would def recommend
