I brought a basil plant home and my cat embraced the plant like it was catnip.
Does anyone's cat find another herb plant more interesting than catnip?

That's funny - catnip is closely related to mint, but maybe any strong aromatic herb will do?
I've Been Frosted
I bought a catnip plant, but Panther demolished it over night.
I will try again!!!

Thanks for that information. My cat was going crazy choosing between
his catnip and the basil. He was rubbing the basil leaf and then turned to is catnip only to decide to push away the basil leaf in my hand almost if he could talk "NO MORE MA".:

Interesting! I'll pick up some basil and some catnip!

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

We have basil & mint as well as other herbs growing in pots outside on our window ledges. The cats ALL of them like to chew on the basil and just rub & sometimes lick the mint. It was so funny the first time. They also got mad for lemon balm which is also part of the mint family. There is a tea here my husband drinks called tisana 'relax' and it contains lemon balm. Every now and then I will give the cats a pouch with the tea bag still sealed inside and it is better than any catnip toy. Guido has to be careful not to leave his tea unattended as well because on several occasions we have found a kitty with his/her head in the tea cup lapping away at it.
Oh my lemon balm is in the mint family too. I just bought that one.

Maybe your kitty is part Italian? Ancestors came over with Colombus?
C
That is really funny cause all my kitties are italian. LOL
Vega was found in the warehouse of the store where my husband works. Bella was found outside my house and she was pregnant so Frost was born under our terrace & Phoenix comes from near the mountains. All in the province of Vicenza, Italy.
Valeriane is here the thing to go for. Kiri and Orion are not much motivated by catnip but I'll check with lemon balm- I have plenty in the garden.
After seeing this thread this morning, I bought some fresh basil at one of the local organic markets. Sydney, Bob, Elmer, and Poppaea all got to sample some. They were NOT impressed. We'll see what the other three think later.
At least I'll enjoy eating it myself!
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
