Concentrated Catnip Spray

**Tomiam** · 20th November 2010, 04:13 PM

Today, my wife and I went out to a local garden centre. She bought very little, I err.. found the cat toys section and both of my furry friends got some early Christmas fun :D

The toys arent on show here but I also bought a bottle of 'Concentrated Cat Nip' and figured I could spray it onto an old cat toy to revive their interest, thereby saving a bit of cash in the long run and err.. "balancing out the amount I just spent"..?

Manufacturer: Johnsons Veterinary
Item Name: Catnip concentrated spray
Size: 150ml pump action (non aerosol) spray bottle

I took one of their kong wobbler toys, which hasnt been shown any interest in the last three or four weeks. Sprayed it a couple of times with the bottle and tossed it to Storvenn (1yr 1mth old Male MC) who ..well.. enjoy the video of Storvenn aka - Junkie Cat :p

Edit: Not sure how to get video to show properly, but if you click on the video name on the window it'll take you directly to it.

Oh yea... make sure you wash your hands after use. ;)
It seems to work very well. Have used it on "crinkle caterpillar" toy to good effect as well.

Certainly looked as if it livened things up for Storvenn will have to look out for it as a lot of ours have just become "soft toys" now.
Pleased to see someone very deftly moved the knife out of the way.....!

Ok this is werid. I was thinking about concentrated catnip the other day. I was wondering if I could find some to add to teddies toothpaste. Any thoughts on this now I know it exists?

Looks like that stuff would be great to use. Your kitties had an awesome time!

But I would also like to interject a warning since this is concentrated. My cousin had a cat get into a box of catnip when she was out. She came home to a dead 3 year old cat laying in the middle of a catnip pile. The same thing happened to me one day with cosmic catnip and my kitty Cleo (minus the casulty.) I found him on my computer center laying in a pile of cosmic catnip. When I lightly jabbed him to see if he was alive, he stood up and fell of the computer center straight on his side. And immediately fell asleep right where he fell. Once again I was checking for breathing.... very scary!

Thanks for the warning

Ive already placed this bottle high up on a shelf in our utility cupboard. Didnt think about the cats getting it, but was minorly concerned about my son / daughter spraying the other ones bag / pillow / feet with it...
