Little Bitty doesn't respond to catnip, but apparently gall fruit is her jam!

What a cutie!

I've found that some cats who don't respond to catnip, respond to silvervine, or honey suckle bushes.

I did have one that responded to ground coffee. He loved to roll in it, a small amount, but he loved it.

Thank you!

Gall fruit is the fruit of the silvervine plant! I got a clearance 3 pack of alternatives for cats that don't respond to catnip and it had silvervine, gall fruit, and marshmallow root flakes. Gall fruit seems to be her favorite, so I'll have to make sure to keep it! She also loves the smell of weed, but she can't have that in her toys ๐Ÿ˜‚

I see! Gall fruit is from silvervine. Neat!

And, yeah. XD No weed, Kitty!

Yeah! I try to make sure Bitty can do anything she wants including have kitty drugs (catnip, silvervine, gall fruit) ๐Ÿ˜‚
