Title: Valerian
Post by: Maddiesmum on June 23, 2008, 10:21:53 AM

Morning everyone

I have bought Charlie some Valerian toys as his reaction to catnip is too extreme and he becomes manic and aggressive.  The note that came with the toys says that he will go crazy!  Before I give it to him has anyone any experience of reactions to Valerian toys?

Mine are pretty indifferent to valerian. I was told it was supposed to be a relaxant not an "upper!"

I havnt used valerian as opposed to catnip.....apparently its the same effect but cats who cant tolerate catnip like Charlie its supposed to be fun for him...should not make him aggravated etc!  ;)

Go one give it a shot and let us know how he gets on!  ;D


ps....I think it still excites em JS...I remember this in the health sect somewhere?  :-:

That's why I went for it JS but then having seen the note and looked it up on the internet am confused as found conflicting opinions.
