I've never heard of honeysuckle for cats before. Has anyone else? Does it work?

Apparently more cats like honeysuckle than they do catnip! (so the above website says!)

That's really interesting especially as catnip generally doesn't have an effect on kittens or neuters that were neutered prior to sexual matureity. I might give it a try. I like the sound of the mellowing effect. Ruby could do with a bit of mellowing.

Charlie - Did you know that site belongs to Emm (a Catsey member). She donated some prizes last year for a raffle we had.
the collars & toys are excellent quality.

Re: honeysuckle instead of catnip???


I didn't know this either!! Mine don't react to catnip one little bit so I might try this.

But thinking about it, before our neighbours got rid of their honeysuckle shrub the cats did used to congregate in the corner of the garden which it overhung . . .

This was news to me also! I have honeysuckle in the back garden; actually it's rampant and weedy; will try drying some when it starts growing in the Spring and see if Leia reacts to it..
