Cat's can detect catnip aroma in the 1 part per billion range. It's like

sensei for cats and they're ALL born users hehe.

Gotta say my cats also turn their noses up at it but then one thinks she's

human and the other thinks she's a dog so perhaps that is why :-)))

actually, no, they aren't.

there's a genetic thing with cats...some go nutso over catnip, some don't

even notice it's there. none of our three care about it.

some cat-families love it, others don't... it depends on the gene.

When it comes to catnip, cats may or may not be predisposed to having a

reaction to it. Only about 50% of all cats will have a reaction to catnip,

so if your cat isn't reacting, he/she may be immune. Also, cats don't

generally have any reaction to it if they're young --- under 7-8 months in

age. that may be another factor.

Have you ever tried your cats with a drop of valerian eo on a toy,

Marge? I know that you are quite well versed in essential oils and that

you might have tried this.

I know that my one cat (out of five) who is not enthralled by catnip

goes absolutely bonkers over freshly dug valerian root. Totally tore a

paper grocery bag full to shreds the first time she got into it. Found

her blissfully sleeping the next morning, shamelessly drooling on the

tattered remains of her rampage. <G> Just curious as to whether the eo

would have the same effect for her as the fresh roots?

Be well, be happy, Blessed be!

Hi Suzi,

The oils should/might still be there. The catnip is bright and green. I bought it for my cats.

Anyway, will try it and let the list know how it goes.

Thank you,

Baugh

I'm not sure dried will be as good as fresh... as you want the oils of it... but hey try a little bit and see... Tincture it like any other tincture.

Is Catnip safe to use in a carrier oil for topical

application?

I wonder if it would work as well for common o garden

british midges - they absolutely 'love' me - starter,

main course and dessert - in fact I think I must be

the midgey equivalent of a six course gourmet meal!! -

and I get such a bad reaction from them too.
