I have tried catnip in many forms and Julie just doesn't react to or care about catnip. Do you have nippers or a non nippers?

My cat goes crazy for catnip! :) He especially likes fresh catnip, which I buy every weekend -- in the summer -- at the local farmer's market. I keep it in the fridge, and every time I open the door he runs over to the kitchen expectantly! I'm happy that Leon is one of the cats who *does* respond to catnip, because I love seeing him so happy eating it, rolling around in it, and just generally loving it!
Pouncer is a stoner, while Allen will take it or leave it depending upon his mood. I know that at any given time Pouncer will be up for a nice catnip induced high! :D (gee, where's the smilie for stoned kitty?)
A mix:D Emily does not respond nearly as much. The boys are another story. They go nuts, get agressively wild, then get stoned and then go to sleep. They respond best if I only use it occasionally and they prefer the human variety that is sold as a loose tea in nutrition stores. The kind I have bought in the Hartz brand and others sold as "catnip" for cats - they have no use for. They also responded strongly to the canadian catnip that Gary sent them:D Guess they are *choosey* about their nip. Again - Emily really does not care although she will sometimes get a buzz from my fresh catmint and catnip.
I voted "yes"! My girls really love cat nip, they go crazy over it! :) Valarian has the same effect btw. :)

Yes, all three get nuts over it. In fact, I have to give it to them far apart or they end up in a paranoid fight. Jazz is worse for smacking some one when she is catnip stoned.
I remember one time years ago Ripley was on the coffe table in front of the tv just as high and paranoid on catnip as possible and a commercial for a chainsaw came on and the tv volume was loud. When that chainsaw cranked up he almost went through the ceiling. It looked just like those cartoons where the little dog comes up to the sleeping cat and barks and the cat goes up and hangs on the ceiling. I almost wet my britches laughing at Ripley.
Both of my kitties love the stuff.
Josie could care less . . . which upsets me considering all the $$$ we've spent on catnip toys!
Josie looks like she has fun even without the nip...she is such a sweetie!Quote:

Kirsten, isn’t valerian the stuff that smells like dirty socks?:D
My cats love catnip, but it makes Phoenix aggressive and he is temporally cut off as I now have band aids on my hand and foot.
Tigger doesn't respond to it at all!
Sash loves catnip:D
Some of them love nip. Polly Paws is a total niphead. Felicia and Twicket prefer honeysuckle.
