hi thanks for the replys so far!! according to my research kittens under 6 months dont react to cat nip, supposedly because somehow the catnip simulates a ohenomone reaction and because the kittens are not sexually mature yet they would not pick it up. i also think there is a genetic link but i cant get enough info and experients to prove that |

Would indicating the breeds of our cats help any, genetic-wise? Leia is a moggy, |

I'd read that somewhere before but dont remember it giving an explanation as to why and in all honesty, I really dont remember my cats being interested in catnip as kittens. |

Twitch - yes, very much so. She chews at her toy and rubs herself along it. With loose catnip - had a spillage while trying to re-fill the toy she went crazy and started sniffing at it, then licking at it, before going quite mad and rolling in the stuff before darting off around the house! Sid - I don't know, I've never tried it with him! I shall get some toys and see what happens. |

thats quite interesting i didnt think to look at breeds. by the looks of it so far a few breeds have lots of non reactors like persians and bengals. im adding all the results up now so should have my findings up next week sometime |
