    Another pretty capture Christine. Do you know, it had zero effect on my cat. She got more of a buzz from celery, jumping in to my canvas grocery bags as soon as I got home with some! Posted 6 years ago

      Oh, wow! One of my cats is allergic to catnip, but the other enjoys it. I'll have to test their reaction to celery though. Interesting :). Posted 6 years ago
