They are really not picky! lemon smelling ones with a hint of bleach are usually the best!

I have NO clue....

Be careful with cleaning products as some are toxic to cats.  :(  Some felines are 'immune' to catnip but will still respond to honeysuckle or valerian toys.

The bleach is probaly the cause cos it smells to them like another cat.

Many cats dont have interest in catnip, its just we only really hear about the ones who love it.

Yes! Our dear, departed Uncle M loved it when I cleaned the kitchen floor with bleachy water. He'd get positively extatic just like a catnip rush. Thought he was the only cat that had a thing about bleach but obviously not.
