a silly question

[lvpets2002]

It may not be harmful to cats, but my son took a bag of it to school one day during his freshman year, and got suspended from school for three days for having a "marijuana look-alike" in his possession!

(Of course he didn't tell the kids otherwise---thought it was funny that they thought it was marijuana, until somebody reported him for it and he was summmoned to the principal's office! The police confiscated it and did tests on it to make sure it wasn't marijuana!)

My cats just are not very interested in catnip, but if my son goes for workout at the gym and consquently leaves his shirt lying in the bathroom floor, my cats go simply wild, both of them, it is always only his shirts, we figure they love the smell of his sweat and deoderant mixed together, he is a lynx man,(excuse the description) i jokingly tell him you should bottle that stuff as a new brand of catnip, honestly the cats go absolutely bananas,smooching it and rubbing on it, like other cats do with catnip.

My cats aren't drawn to catnip either, but someone once told me that generally Siamese aren't - can anyone verify/contra this? Anyway my cats do a similar thing, Carole, with my shoes. I have a shoe-rack by the front door and they love to rub the sides of their faces along my shoes, especially when I come home after being away all day. It's as if they can't get enough "Mummy essence" on themselves. Colette even hooks out the orthotics and rolls around on them! (Weird...) BTW my feet aren't unpleasant to be around, if you get my drift, nothing like that...

I read somewhere that in our part of the world (Australia/NewZealand) cats are immune to catnip, if I find the article again I'll post it. I know my cat is just not interested at all, he gets his "high" from the other half's smelly clothes too!

Now that's really interesting. I would love you to post the article if you find it - or PM me to let me know you have it please. I hadn't heard that.

That's not the original article I read but all I can find at the moment, I'm almost certain the other article mentioned New Zealand too.

Thank you so much for that. This looks like a nice website, I'll add it to my favourites. Thanks for introducing me to it.
