Apparently, cats under 6 months don't respond to it either.

I used to think that but my two 8 month olds were responding to it at about 4.....you know bout the same time as they start reacting to something else!  :-[ :evillaugh:

I think statistically about a third of cats don't respond. I always thought that none of mine did until not long ago when I got some of the dried, powdered leaves- extra strong catnip and they go mad for it! So funny!

It does depend on the cat, Byron absolutely loves it as did our Penny but Squeaky and Schui didn't bother and my sister's cat really disliked it he used to get angry  :evillaugh:

Yes it's true.  Some just don't respond.  Mosi doesn't react to it at all and shows no interest in it.  I think the dried leaves tend to be the most potent.  The Purrs shop sells some great toys that have strong catnip inside - the catnip banana, cigar etc.  ;D
