Catnip is a fragrant plant from the mint family. Its scientific name is Nepeta cataria, and it's sometimes called 'catmint' or 'catswort'. When a cat smells catnip, he will often paw at it, rub it, roll over it, lick it, and even chew it. Cats who have particularly strong reactions to catnip may also get frisky, miaow, growl, purr, drool, and generally act crazy for several minutes.

Really, I asked my wife if we should throw out any catnip we have, sometimes a gift, or maybe on impulse -- but it's in our home, and that means all of us, our home -- kitties and all.

Pippy and Perry will be 5 years old this month, and have been with us since November 2017. And it just hit me yesterday, we have some big catnip containers... but we just stored them away. But why would we ever want to purposefully expose our kitty boys to something such?

i looked online, but all I found seemed like marketing propaganda.

Right now, I'm very no.
