Got these for my cats awhile back

Medicinal or recreational? Or both? 🤔😂

It's typically recreational for cats. Plus they love eating spider plants too. Apparently it has either an opiate-like effect or an acid effect they enjoy which is why they like eating spider plants. My Angora is obsessed with pony tail palms. We had one we ended up giving him. If we'd go to water it his eyes would get big and he'd start chirping with excitement. The other 2 are content with cat nip alone or well I have a luxury mix I found. It's a mix of cat nip with other plants they like in 3 different bags. I mixed them altogether in a container. There's cat nip & silver leaf, cat nip & passion flower & cat nip & chamomile. I had a hard cat nip ball too similar to cat nip lollipop minus the stick. & cat nip spray. This mix makes them trip out. My Bombay could take or leave cat nip but even he gets crazy with it. He'll lay there in a daze. My Angora loves that chamomile blend especially & the giant like always gets the munchies & hyper. Angora insists on spider plant opiates too.🤣

It’s been a long time since my male cat has indulged in the nip and my female cat has never had the pleasure of taking part in it. I might have to look into it and see how they react to it. I didn’t know that there was such a huge selection of catnip products like that. 🤔

I found it at Walmart actually. Apparently females are less interested in cat nip than males because another part of the appeal of cat nip to males is that apparently it emits a similar scent to a female cat in heat.🤣

The last catnip that I gave one of my cats was a toy mouse that had it inside. He played with it off and on for a few weeks and then completely lost interest in it. That was at 7 or 8 years ago.

They lose their scent after awhile. Best off to get stuff like cat nip spray for vet trips. If they get especially upset if you spray the carrier with cat nip spray and maybe sprinkle some in it tends to calm them down.

I’ll try to remember that. I could’ve used that in the past. I’ve had some wild times trying to get cats into their carriers. Blood has been shed on more than one occasion (all mine, of course). 😼
