Kitty drugs

Can anyone tell me if strawberries are somehow related to catnip? Ki seems to react awfully...interestingly to them. (More so than he does to catnip, actually.)

Catnip oil/nepetalactone could possibly be used as a pesticide... but I sort of doubt anyone's actually spraying strawberries with it, especially commercial strawberries.

I will have to try giving strawberries to other cats.

At any rate, you're talking about the cat who eats frozen peas and has an intense and mysterious aversion to Beethoven.

I'd hate to put catnip smell in my garden! Our neighbors' many cats used to make my strawberry bed unusable. (Mmmm, look at that beautiful crimson berry, ripe and ready . . . *reach* . . . *notice huge lump of poo a millimeter away*. . .)

And dried cranberries.

Note though, he only responds to the strawberries' leaves. Ignores the actual berry.

From my experience, many cats have some sort of odd food taste which drives them nuts. For my current cats, it's asparagus -- they go absolutely nuts for it and we can't keep it in the garbage because they'll knock over the garbarge and chew through the bag to get at it. For a previous cat, it was corn. He would actually try to get up on a seat and snatch a corn cob off the table while we were eating if given a chance.
