KONG - Naturals Premium Catnip - Premium North American Grown - 2 Ounce

WOW!!!! This is the 2nd box of KONG 2 Ounce Premium Catnip I've purchased. As noted, each one comes with a toy imbedded in the 'nip. My kids went crazy for that toy. I just adopted a feral cat, and wanted to show him how much fun and wonderful living with me can be. So, I went to spot on my bed where he loves to lay (as long as I'm at LEAST 50 feet away,) and liberally sprinkled catnip and left the toy in there. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!! Such ecstasy and joyous sounds emanated from that room. I think I totally, paws down, convinced him that captivity is the way to go!!!!!The catnip is incredibly compressed in there. I don't know how they pack so much in. So when this 2nd box arrived, I filled the previously empty 1st jar 3/4 of the way up with catnip, and then will take all forgotten mouse-like toys that aren't being used, and cover them up and keep them in the nip jar for a long, long time.You absolutely WILL NOT BELIEVE the difference and joy when you finally bring them out again. A very, very inexpensive magnificent investment for recycling old toys instead of buying tons of new ones constantly.I can't even BEGIN to recommend this product high enough. Now, cat sites have said that there is a fairly new product called Silvervine that almost 100% of cats react to, and get even more ecstatic from. Even cats that don't react to catnip. So I immediately went to AMAZON (where else would anyone ever go,) and did a search for Silvervine. Wow!! I INSTANTLY realized something. I could either pay my rent or buy my kids the Silvervine, but there was NO WAY that I could afford to do both. This catnip jar will last you a VERY long time. Do you feel that your furkids don't even REMOTELY care about ANYTHING you do for them??? You want to see a change of heart from Mr. or Ms Kitty??? Then RUN, don't walk, and get this incredibly cheap but awesome product, and they will be licking your feet in gratitude, appreciation, and true adoration. Even feral cats can have their hearts softened when presented with this great feline gift!May the true spirit of Santapaws be with you all year long, and EVERY SINGLE LIVING ANIMAL prays that Santapaws will come to THEIR house (or alley) every day. Know he is real, and you can bring the true spirit of Santapaws to your cat every single day of the year. Also, please remember this: No animal -- not a single one on the entire earth -- deserves to be on the "naughty list." They are pure and without guile, and truly deserve any amount of spoiling or indulgence you may shower upon them.

The skinny: I have 3 cats, all around 10 years old. Only one will spontaneously play (e.g.: find a random piece of napkin and throw it up in the air and attack it) because he has some Siamese in him (apparently they are playful well into adult years). One hates the other two and will hiss and run from them. I bought a large cat house because two of them recently started using the area carpets as scratching pads. They were using the cat house, one, maybe two at a time to sleep, but not to play and scratch. I bought this cat nip, sprinkled it on the platforms and scratching posts as well as the hanging toys. OH MY GOD!!!!! All three of them played on it at once, by themselves and a little with each other. Even the cat who hates the other two was putting her paw up through holes to try to attack, in a playful way, the other cats' tails. They were rolling around, rubbing on every corner and SCRATCHING the posts!This nip seems high quality to me because the flakes are big enough where the cats won't inhale them and cough, they can chew on them, the residual powder that stays on toys is still powerful even after the flakes fall off. In fact, I lured one of my cats upstairs to the cat house simply because when I woke him up, he smelled cat nip on my fingers and just HAD to follow me to find the source of this incredible smell. Yes, you can smell it when you open the can, but it's not something that will stink up your house or your hands (even though my cats can still smell it on my fingers).I was concerned about buying this because some reviewers said their cats didn't even react. These same cats apparently did react to store-bought catnip toys. I'm so glad I bought this because my cats, also prone to enjoy store-bought catnip, reacted very favorably.I'm usually lazy about writing reviews, but I love to see my kitties happy so I wrote this about 6 hours after opening it. They love this!

If you like funny cat stories and cat pics, read on... (Don't worry the story is part of the review, I'm not trolling)The hubs recently bought a snowblower for the blistering Midwestern weather. Our kitty (like most kitties) loves boxes but was enamored by the huge snowblower box and decided to make it her little playhouse much to the chagrin of the lady of the house (me) to have a huge box sitting in the middle of the dining room. So the hubs had the kitty smell a lil' of this nip in the tin and she follows hubs all giddy happy to try out the new nip. Hubs places a small handful amount of this nip in her "playhouse". She sniffs and even eats a few pieces for a minute like "Hmm this is not bad". Then moments later, the nip kicks in her brain like BOING ZOING and she drops to the floor doing her swirly snake dance stretching herself to the max and rolling around. She goes on doing that for a minute or two but missy's feeling so high right now, she needs to rip something apart. Miss Kitty then gets the bright idea of standing from the inside of her playhouse and claw the thing out till the tape holding the box comes off and her whole house comes tumbling down! Now, we humans wouldn't like our house falling apart. But miss Kitty remains unperturbed. In her now (torn) playhouse, she decides to head back to the remaining nip in careless glee. Her human parents quickly patch up her playhouse like nothing ever happened.Moral of the story: This catnip is so good that cats will keep sniffing and eating it even if the world around comes falling apart!Bottomline: BUY.THIS.CATNIP.LIKE.NOW.End of story.
