Catnip Breaks Ice Between Cats?

Today, I received a gift of catnip in the post. It was unexpected. It came from Walter and Jozef, the two cats who live with Ruth and Barbara. It was sent by Viv Robinson (& Partners) Home Textiles. It is quality catnip. Thank you very much.

I feed a semi-stray tabby, girl cat and Charlie puts up with me doing this. When I put the catnip in front of him he enjoyed it and rubbed his head on it. You can see the picture in the video. I then gave it to the visiting tabby and she thoroughly enjoyed it, jumped onto the bed to mess around with it and bumped into Charlie who was resting. Charlie hisses at the end but I feel the catnip helped break the ice — I hope. Not that I am trying to force them together but it helps if they get on. Charlie is much more relaxed about her presence and I think it does him good.

      • That’s the package the mice came in and the receipt from Viv, waiting to go upstairs to be shredded as it had our name and address on. Jozef had come in and sussed it out, it must have smelled of catnip and he was looking for his mouse. Which is why he had his on the stairs.
        He actually took it up to my bed where he sleeps and Walt’s is on his and Babz bed now. We have another 2 new ones supposed to be for Jozef’s birthday on 26th but will they last until then? I very much doubt it as they will seek them out long before then lol

    • Captured prey. This pose is so typical of a cat with catnip. Cats lie there like they own the catnip. This is the same as the cat-captured-mouse position. I think cats see catnip as prey. I don’t think it is meant to be but the way cats tear it up and sit or lie down with it is typical of cat to prey behavior.
