This is my cats' favorite catnip. It doesn't smell as minty as the other brands I've tried. Catnip is in the mint family, but my cats like the ones that are less minty. My boy will lick the stuff up and roll around in it. It calms his anxiety, he is usually really jumpy and nervous, but when he's "high on 'nip", he's a real lover boy and more playful. I found it also stimulates his appetite, he's around 8 years old and has seasonal allergies and bad teeth, so he doesn't eat like he used to and is getting skinny. I am trying to find ways to put some weight on him before I take him to the vet. My girl likes it too, she'll eat a few licks, but doesn't get "high" off of it. About 20 minutes later, they both pass out into what looks like a very deep and relaxing nap. I grind it up into a powder in my herb grinder (coffee grinder assigned to herbs only) to refresh it and release more essential oils. This also helps it sink into the fibers of their beds, scratchers, and toys. If they're just eating it, I leave it as it is because it's in fairly larger pieces, so it's easier for them to eat, and easier for me to clean up the leftovers. I like that it is certified organic too.
The only reason that I took a star off is that it is very expensive on this site. All the Walmarts I've been to carry it, and the last bag I bought was $2.99).I thought I might check here to find some great deal or buy it in bulk, but the list price today is over $10 for an ounce. That is ridiculous. Sometimes I find this brand at grocery stores for around $4, but that is the highest price I have seen for it.
