Guest guest Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 I gave a friend some of the dillweed (it certainly smelled and tasted like dill!) I had purchased online, and later she reported that her cats had gotten ahold of it, reacted just like it was catnip, and trashed her place! - has anyone else got wierd cats like this? Maybe I should ask, anyone know of other herbs (other than catnip) that also 'launches' cats? Dave Smith For artists, please visit ArtVillage- - not a rip off!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 I have often watched the cats go nuts over a bush called Angels Trumpet also called Datura. They will go mad over the plant, eating on the dried leaves or flowers.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 I thought Datura was poisonous? http://www.desertusa.com/aug97/du_datura.html Shelley Wizentub wrote: > I have often watched the cats go nuts over a bush called Angels Trumpet also > called Datura. > They will go mad over the plant, eating on the dried leaves or flowers. > LOL > ----- > Quote
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 David, Cats will act 'high' in the presence of many different aromatics. I had a cat who would appear 'high' after sniffing lilac blossoms. I don't know why, but I have observed this. Yes Datura is poisonous and toxic enough that I wouldn't let my cats have any. In fact some people will get a rash just from touching the plant. Carol Quote
