The other night, my bro gave me some nice fresh Columbian catnip for my cats. 
I did a search and found a couple of columns (Column 1 and Column 2) on catnip and learned a bit about it. But one questions remains.
Can cat’s OD on the stuff? (Someone at work said they could…but I tend not to believe everything I hear right off the bat…)
Please see the thread on apostrophe usage.
Really? I wasn’t so sure that was the case.
Oh wait…you didn’t have anything important to add…never mind…
:rolleyes:
Well that was just out and out rude…it was a typo, I am sure. Sheesh. :rolleyes: It’s not worth pitting you for but why must people run around the board picking on such minor details.
As for the OP, I have never had a cat OD on it, some just react stronger than others. Heck I have a cat that reacts to my mint flavor gum in much the same way (mint and catnip are apparently in the same family.)
That I can understand as the two plants are types on mint. (From what I read fomr the two columns I read.)
Yes…I saw that typo, thank you…
No. I had to ask the vet that years ago. I just secured the catnip jar better from my intelligent, resourceful and extremely happy cat.
I’m glad you just posted that. My cat just found my stash. It was hidden in my top drawer. (It got it from him before he managed to eat it…)
I can’t believe it managed to open it!!
It’s now under my mattress, (The catnip, not the cat.) so if it can get it there, it deserves to have it!!!
During the night our fat cat of ours managed to knock over a box of the stuff from atop the fridge, spilling the entire contents all over the floor. In the morning we found him rolling around in it, happily stoned. After we cleaned him up he didn’t appear worse from the experience.
Our catnip was minced and dry. Who knows what would have happened if he took a toke of the fresh, primo Columbian blend. 
No doubt he’d have been sitting rather dazedly infront of the TV watching your old tape of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure piggin’ out on that bag of Doritos.
My book The Cat Whisperer says that cats can’t OD on catnip.

Related question: How long does catnip last? How long before we should start replacing it (in those refillable toys)?
Yeah but you missed the other one. Types “of” mint, not types “on” mint. Although perhaps you were typing on mint or some other herb when you posted and can be excused the typo.
But not the sentence structure. “From what I read [from] the two columns I read”? <shudder>
And before anyone has a hissy, I’m teasing.
At present there are 6 cats in my house, and as they’ve come and gone it’s always been at least that amount my whole life (I’m 23). In all this time, there has been a catnip plant growing on our lawn. AND THEY NEVER TOUCH IT! Only when we pick some and offer it to them do they take a hit (har har). I don’t know why they don’t help themselves, but they just haven’t.
Or maybe that’s why they all like to go outside at night. Wow my cats are rock stars.
That will teach me to post while drinking.
