Almost all cats fall for valerian root :) Unlike catnip. However, if your cat actually does like catnip, there is a big chance that your cat loves valerian too. Also when your cat doesn't respond to catnip, more likely your cat will respond to valerian because I think almost all cats love it.

It's not that they are constantly in the mood for it. I have several valerian root toys over here and sometimes they lay on the floor for days and none of my cats look at it whatsoever.. and then suddenly the toy is totally attractive again and they are playing with it every night. :)
Especially cats with stress love the toys. Not that every cat that loves valerian root is completely stressed out, but cats with stress tend to play with it more often.
