Canadian catnip?

Catmandu can answer that but I don't think your vet will be able to get it.. We ALL here would already have it if we could... But BOY! Do the cats EVER love the stuff! My babies have a toy that Catmandu sent them a l-o-n-g time ago with that Canadian Catnip and it still drives them bonkers.

That catnip really sounds amazing! I wonder if I could get some seeds an plant some myself.

The catnip that I get is all "buds" and no stems....

I have never offered to send out any because Gary has the monopoly on this. As soon as I get more mobile I can send you some, Randi, and see where I can get some seeds for you to plant.

Gary's catnip is certainly the best I have ever seen! I can remember watching Butter with that mouse Gary sent and he was in Heaven! In fact, I think he tore the package open before I did, if I remember correctly.

I had the funniest video of him rolling around with that thing!

My "cat rancher" brother (3 cats, all rescues) has some catnip growing outside his house in north-central Pennsylvania. Says it makes pet store catnip look like weak oregano.

In Europe (well, at least in several countries) we can hardly find catnip, and when we find some, the package is ridiculously small for a very high price

In France it's not very common to give catnip to our kitties. Poor guys

It is with PT that I realized how common it was in Canada and US!

Recently, my partner went to Canada for his work and I gave him the mission to find good catnip. He brought two brands, one was the "Cosmic" catnip, and I don't remember for the other one (I am not at home to check). I cannot give you a comparison with other brands, but these ones have been largely cat approved

Here is a link for the Cosmic catnip:

Your vet could go to Canada, let's say for holidays, and bring one or too suitcases of catnip

Thanks for the offer, Slick, but don't think about catnip now - you need to relax and get better.

Are you back on e-mail? I got one back I sent the 5th.

The toys with catnip I've got for Fister over the years almost bored him to death, with one exception - the catnip doll ES got for him when we met in Munich. In fact I'll go and have a look at that picture to see who manufactored it.

I'm so stupid.... I was growing mint in my allotment garden, but I killed it all, as it was spreading like weed. I should have saved some to dry, now I know that mint and catnip is quite similar.

Sonia59 and Crazy-cat-lover, thanks for the links!
