Catnip
Catnip is the classic treat for most kitties, sending them into a happy dance of joy.
Just a little sprinkle can turn any lazy afternoon into a wild play session!
Cat Grass
Cat grass is usually a mix of oats, wheat, and barley, and it’s safe for your feline friend to munch on.
It’s a great way to help with digestion and gives your kitty something to nibble on indoors.
Cat Thyme
Cat thyme not only smells amazing but also tends to attract cats just like catnip.
It’s a cool herb to add to your garden if you want some herbal flair and furry excitement!
Valerian Root
Valerian root might not sound familiar, but cats dig it just as much as catnip!
It can have a soothing effect while still getting them a bit hyped up for playtime.
Parsley
Parsley isn’t only for your dinner plate; it’s also safe for cats!
Plus, it can help freshen your kitty’s breath—bonus!
Chamomile
Chamomile can be calming for both humans and felines.
You can let your kitty enjoy a little nibble to help soothe their nerves or just keep it around for good vibes.
Mint
Mint varieties, especially apple mint, can be fun for cats to explore.
Just be cautious, as not all mint types are safe, but when you find the right one, it’s a delightful addition!
Common Sage
Common sage isn’t just great for cooking; cats can enjoy its soft leaves too.
It may help your furry pal with digestion while giving a nice aroma to your home!
