This was really interesting to read! We had some catnip in the garden this summer as a treat for the cat, who did not express a glimpse of interest in it after a few friends had raved about it. My cat must be one of the 1/3 who are not tempted by it, but i will try the other suggestions!!! Also has no idea of all of the other benefits of it, could have used it myself had I known!! Also very useful to know it deters other garden pests we were overrun with pests which was a pain. Thank you for this! Bookmarked!
