How do you give it to her? Does she actually eat it or just rub on it?

When we'd get catnip mice from the store, our old kitty used to just rub his face on them, but he never chewed them or ate the catnip.

She does both. The commercial kind comes all chopped up in flakes. If I put a little pile of it in a dish...well, more likely a plastic snap-on lid..she'll chomp on it for a while. If I put it on the carpet, she'll roll in it. I've got a Ziploc bag of commercial catnip that she likes to lie on.

My cats will eat some of it, but mostly just roll it in and get goofy. The loose stuff from the store seems to be the strongest, though it's messy. Somtimes I'll throw some down and then vacuum up what they didn't nibble after they've lost interest.

This is Tam on catnip. Frightening, isn't it?
