Tigers, Lions and the other big cats do favor Catnip .. but odds are around

60% that the one that shows up will disregard the Catnip and eat you. Its

all about genetics. Cats that react to catnip have a gene that's missing in

cats that don't favor it. Estimates are that only 40% ro so of cats have

the gene, so only 40% of cats enjoy catnip. Some scientists claim that its

all a sexual experience because of the similarity of a sexual pheromone

found in the urine of the male cat to nepetalactone.

 

I tried Catnip EO on my two cats in Turkey and they disregarded it .. we

grew some this year in the garden and my cat here disregards it. The three

cats I have had are amongst the genetically inferior 60% that are

undersexed.

 

Maybe I should start selling Cat Pee oil instead of Catnip oil .. maybe the

skeeters will not like it too.

Big cats go catnip-wild over a relative of the kiwi fruit - Actinidia

lantana leaves. Learned that years ago in economic botany.

We used to have a fox that loved my line of catmint plants so much it

kept rolling on it and I think peed on it as well until all the plants

died. I am sure there is some kind of hormone mimic in it because the

only other place that fox marked was my rosemary bush and they were a

100 feet away from each other. My old tom cat would nibble at the

leaves and then attack me if I got anywhere near him and it took a few

hours to wear off. So with him it worked opposite to those cats who go

all placid when they smell it.

There are many who will buy anything if you market it hard enough. I

even had someone suggest to me today that their supplier only supplied

genuine Linden blossom absolute-yeah-yeah-yeah!!!
