They are outdoor cats (i can't have em indoors, I am very allergic to them) so I don't think they are partaking of the evil weed. I do go outside and pet them every day. I am real nice to them, for being a dog person!

Some cats are born without the gene that makes them go bonkers over catnip.

In our rescue group, the ones who don't like catnip look at the others like "what the heck are you doing?"

Novi, mommakitty to my three girls, is indifferent to catnip, but her daughters love it. So does Ivan. So did Clarisse and Tommy and NeenerPea. So, in my house, 1 out of 8 doesn't care about the nip. The others go nuts.
