Six months (to the day) in to her life here and until now she has completely ignored everything catnip related... until tonight!
I just cracked out the bag of organic catnip we bought the day we took her home, she sniffed the bag and wandered off uninterested but i wasn't going to take no for an answer this time. I wrapped a bit up in kitchen roll and left it for her to sniff, which she did, then she sneezed, started dribbling and rolled around with her parcel plastered to her little face. I then sprinkled the contents onto her piece of cardboard which she likes to scratch and sleep on (instead of the flectabed which still lies, unused right next to it) as it was due to be replaced tomorrow with a fresh bit and she went mental. It's now drenched and as a result we have a very affectionate, slobbery, and slightly unsteady-on-her-feet cat who's actually now looking like she thinks a nap might be a good idea.
Thank you catnip, this was far, far better entertainment than late night TV!
