Anyone make valerian tea for cats?
It's safe, right?

I emailed the Celebration Herbals tea people about their organic catnip tea (ingredients: 100% organic catnip leaves + blossoms
), and they said it's safe to open the tea bag up & give cats the catnip, since it's just catnip. (They said, their catnip tea workers get pounced by cats when they get home!
)

They also recommended valerian. I noticed that Plain Brown Tabby sells valerian cat toys. So, is valerian tea okay?

ASK a vet ... but valerian works like cat nip in cats sensitive to it

It's fine. We occasionally give Jamie a valerian tea bag to play with. He rolls on the bag, and then rips it up and strews it around.
