Scooter enjoying some catnip. Do your cats eat it too? All three of my cats will sit and eat it for a while before flopping down and rubbing it all over themselves and the floor.

        This is actually so smart, I’ll have to remember this tip if I ever have a rodent infestation in my garden.

        Catnip flowers are also very attractive to pollinators, so that’s another benefit your mum got! Hopefully the cats don’t try to eat any bees.

            Does it affect or otherwise attract mountain lions? I live in a mountain range that has a small but significant mountain lion presence, so while my cat would love to have some live catnip around and I’d love to have some more pollinators, I really don’t need to increase the odds of a mountain lion hanging around.

    My two cats do exactly the same thing. I put the nip in the tops to large food containers so that it helps contain the nip a bit better while hopefully being easy to roll in after they’ve had a good nosh. They are the messiest stoners.
