That is some fine looking nip, Doug! Yes, cats don’t like their routine changed, for sure!
I think it it actually is two, possibly more plants growing together in that Greenies container converted to rather plain cachepot!

Yep. My Sister and Bro-In-Law moved their cats food area so it stopped eating.
Yep! Cats!

My cats never go for fresh nip, they like it once it dries out- more potent.
That’s true. Andy reacts to it fresh as well, though never in the silky way one expects.

Deviation from the usual can be entertaining or confusing, depending on one’s thoughts.
Yes, I get your drift! LOL!

My current cats prefer it dried, H.I.M. Xenia liked it dried or green. It’s just like some people having tastes in wine. Right now, the Leominster Gold is flowering in the garden, and will be harvested soon!
The last commercial dried catnip I bought had a prickly quality that made me think nettles or me other plant like that must have been mixed in 2ith ir. I didn’t like Andy eating it so decided it was time to grow it fresh again. Incidentally, I grow it in a large size Greenies container Andy helpfully emptied treat by treat! Works fine.

Sometimes I crumple it a bit to release some aroma. But cats will be cats!
Yes, I do that, too.

Showing that stuff has got my cats scratching at the monitor screen 😸
It’s a pain to get started X but much nicer than comercial dried catnip. Plus, the kitty gets a bit of fresh greens.
Doug Thomas
I didn’t know that about deviation
Yes, cats are very fussy about change.

Wow, Andy, such a nice healthy nip leaf! I’m surprised you passed that up!
I know I was, too. It was full strength, but Andy was in a mood.
