It doesn't affect my cat so much. We have fresh catnip planted in our garden. He sniffs it and ignores.

Chances are that she will get well again; well enough to leave the tub.
One of my cats is a bad drunk. I keep her away from the stuff.
The other one is naturally high all the time.

This is a hilarious statement if you have seen the movie, by which I mean go see the movie for the nonexistent Johnny Depp cameo that you definitely didn't hear about from me.
(also, I am seriously considering changing my username to Box Of Doves, because omg wtf the BOX OF DOVES)

My cats always react to dried catnip, but the reaction to fresh has been intermittent since we've started growing it.
When they do react, though ... let's just say the drool created a slip-and-fall hazard.

Yep 5 cats... all addicts, just last night they broke into their stash from a 6 foot high cupboard and had a frenzy they were oddly hungry at 5 AM.
I have heard that some humans, will rub this herb on Steak and other beef, I personally have never done this and would love to hear if anyone has ever tried it? I assume it is not as good for us as our feline brethren, but here it gives a slight lemony flavour?

Pretty good, though it might have been made slightly better by casting actors capable of acting.

My 2 cats ignore the stuff. My cat that died was a total niphead.
I once read that it's not any chemical reaction but that the high comes merely from the scent of the stuff. That confuses and frightens me.

The catnip we have growing on the deck smells like a cross between spearmint and cannabis. I'm not sure I'd want it on my steak.

Catnip is packaged for human consumption (for example as capsule or tea) to aid relaxation.

I must have seen at least one of the same films they're spoofing, because the bit about, time might appear to stand still and the line about it being like an atomic bomb going off in the mind, I'm sure I've seen those before, only with people.
I was divided between using the quote I went with and "When eaten, the drug acts as a sedative, tranquilizing the user into a state of near catatonia."

I am shocked at you all. If you fail to take catnip seriously, how will you react when your child comes home from school with a "joint" of marijuana?

My Siamese goes bonkers over catnip; his anger rages and he's shortly attacking fellow cats in the house after he gets a fix. I treated him to a fresh catnip plant which he shredded in no time, as this video will illustrate.
