I have oddles and oddle of cat nip. And I was wondering what to do with it. Is it okay to put on there food? Neo seems to like to roll in it, and moemoe likes to eat it
Excellent point...it also explains why buds can be so wonderful...they have the highest concentration of oil that you will find in a catnip plant, I believe, and all it takes is a pinch of a bud, crushed for kitty catnip nirvanaOriginally posted by Sammie5
If you sprinkle dried catnip, sometimes it needs to be rubbed between your fingers to release the essential oils. I bought a big container of it, they ignored it until I remembered to rub it and crumble it into tiny pieces.
I sprinkle it on their toys, they go nuts, rolling in it, eating it, rubbing their faces on it.
Another reason for buying organic, or at least, from a grower not using herbicides (as one producer in West Virginia does not do..farms in an "old fashioned" healthy way that I would trust, but they are not certified organic).Originally posted by hissy
Careful about mixing it in with food though, or soon you will have cats that won't eat their food unless catnip is in it. Makes for very expensive mealtimes and finicky cats. You also want to be sure if you are feeding it that it is Organic and not the processed kind that sometimes carries pesticides in it. Best thing to do is fill an old sock with it, tie off the end and toss it out in the center of the room.
The kind I use or organic and I can get it pretty cheap because it is one of the things i sellOriginally posted by hissy
