So, I'm chewing a piece of spearmint gum, and I'm holding the cat, and she gets mad.

Well, it turns out that she has the same reaction with catnip because it has that same minty scent.

They are both probably in the same plant family too.

Yep, Catnip is in the mint family. Some cats go crazy over other items with mint such as Aritstotle and BenGay liniment.

I have some mint scented soap that I took out to give to my son to use, and Nora went NUTS! She was clawing at the bag and everything trying to get at the mint scent. lol

Oh my gosh I was just chewing spearmint gum too, and Jake came up to me and started sniffing my lips trying to figure out what that smell is...It was quite funny because he wouldn't leave he just kept sniffing!!
