hi i was wondering everyone could do me a really big favour. im doing a research project on cats for my degree and if they all react to cat nip. if you could say for each cat you have if they react to it or not i would be so grateful and once ive done the work il post my results up too so if you could write like

fluffy - yes
bradley- no

thanks!! xx

p.s if you could say in detail how they react that would be nice aswell

admin- i hope this is ok to do i would have emailed to check if i wasnt on a tight deadline

Both my cats react but one gets really paranoid. She looks nuts and overreacts to sounds...just hyper. Odd.
The other gets more playful.

Hiya I voted no, no cat that I have had or seen has ever re-acted to it!

would love to see one though!

not that i have noticed, bracken is only six months old though, he has a fluffy ball hanging from his bed/ scratching post that has catnip in it

I have six cats and five do react to it. One just rubs his face along the toy and goes all squirmy (very technical term!) and others are more hyper with their eyes dilating. Then they just flake out usually. I also have some catmint in a pot in the garden and that is a very popular spot with the cats.

An alternative to catnip is honeysuckle - some cats that don't react to catnip may react to honeysuckle.

I put yes, she goes nuts! I keep all her toys in her carry case in the study as she's not normally allowed in there without supervision. She snuck in this morning though whilst OH was feeding the dragons....

For the first 10 mins she is really playful, running around like a kitten and being very affectionate. Then for about 30 mins she becomes really paranoid, jumpy and just hides. Even if you offer her a treat she runs away from you. For this reason I thinki'm going to stop giving her catnip.

yes my sasha loves it, sends her loopy.

I have two cats, one male and one female. They both react to it differently...

Mani (tabby male 3) goes crazy runs up and down the stairs, pupils dilated, very playful.

Lola (tabby female 4) rubs herself on the area I have sprayed with Catnip and seems to send her very sensual, almost as if she's trying to attract a mate (hussy!)

mine rub against it and drool
