You know as well as I the effects that catnip has on about 2 in 3 cats over the age of 3 months (must be an acquired taste).
Did you know however that it is best when fresh and its effects quickly diminish with time.
So buying your cat toys with catnip, that have been standing on the shelf for some time, may be be over their useful date.
Catnip was originally native to Asia and Europe and was used for cooking and healing, and it is quite easy to grow.
The Latin name for this wonder plant is Nepeta Cataria. Go grow some, it’s not addictive for your cat and has no harmful side affects.
It is for sale on ebay, but the above caveats about shelf life apply more so here, where sellers try to offload old stock onto the unsuspecting. But you have a little insight now, don’t you.
