Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Catnip
We usually grow catnip from seed and this year we let it grow wild, but the season is over. Our boys will be enjoying dried catnip all winter. This infographic from www.catnipsum.com and compliments of infographiczone.com is everything you ever wanted to know about catnip. We thinks it’s the cat’s meow and all four of us enjoy the herb, both fresh and dried. Even old, blind Merlin still enjoys his ‘nip. Do your cats enjoy catnip and do they have a favorite kind?

I have always loved catnip. It makes me ecstatic, and then it gives me the munchies. It never had any effect on Eric though. Mum bought seeds a couple of years ago and they grew like mad. The packet said Napeta Cataria but they had mauve flowers instead of white, and they did nothing for me at all, not fresh or dried. The butterflies love them though.

I knew in addition to Catnip that Catmint is pawsome, but I did not know about all these other nip plants. What coolness to know more about the Nip.

It’s also a common native plant over most of North America and parts of Europe and Asia–I find it in the fields and even empty lots all over the place around me. Glad the outdoor kitties can indulge too!

I didn’t know it was good for repelling mosquitos. Maybe mom will grow fresh nip for us so she can use it as bug repellent.

That’s interesting, I had no clue that every cat can react different. Like people. But at the end cats are smarter than peeps because they know when they’ve had enough :o)

Based on Waffles’ behavior, I’m suspect he’s got his own private stash.
