    Kitty doesn’t care for catnip vaporized with a volcano, and won’t even try a strongly brewed catnip tea. He seems equally pleased and affected by eating the stuff ground up, or having it powdered and rubbed into his fur.

    I wonder if it needs to be ingested at all, or if it’s just a scent thing?

    Puzzling stuff

    • Might try distilling it and seeing if he likes the essential oils.scarabin
    • Isn't it just a scent thing?Nairn
    • That’s so different from how i’m used to interfacing with a chemical. I get inhalants, but this isn’t a gas... what the hell is going on here?scarabin
    • Crazy. It’s a terpene that acts on an opioid receptor to form serotonin. I didn’t know terpenes could work like that https://en.wikipedia…scarabin
    • Yeah, makes you wonder about cannabis terpenes a bit, eh?Nairn
    • 50-30% of cats are indifferent to catnipdrgs
    • imagine inducing an opiate like state in people with nothing but a whiff... it’d be weaponized and pumped into shopping mallsscarabin
    • Put into perfumes. It’d have to be regulatedscarabin
    • I entirely glossed over the images of Scarabin holding up an electronic bong for his cat to huff on.and the offer of catnip tea in fine porcelain.Nairn
    • Lol. I wafted the vapor around him and he made an annoyed face at mescarabin
    • So anyway, it looks like what you want for your cat is a lil bottle of nepetalactone and just let ‘em take a lil hit off it like poppersscarabin
    • In my experience just smelling it and touching it makes them crazy.monospaced
    • get some catnip from Japan. it is ground up and looks like (powder) matcha.Squiddy
