Where can I purchase really good quality catnip? I have some refillable toys and scratchers, but the stuff at the pet stores don't seem to be that strong.

Quality Catnip

You can get Cat Crack or Cat Weed on Amazon. Was very strong for my cat and he doesnt use it anymore. He likes either the Yeow brand or cosmic catnip. I always buy the smaller packets because if u buy a larger on, for some reason it kinda expires midway- as in my cat doesn't enjoy it as catnip anymore. Perhaps whatever aroma it had is all gone after being repeatedly exposed to air.

Thanks I'll check it out!
A potent natural alternative to catnip is silver vine. It takes a very small amount, and my cats love it! I bought the brand called KittiKrack on Amazon. According to research at the Tufts vet school, 80% of cats respond to silver vine while 70% respond to catnip.

Yes I've tried that before and they loved it, but so did my dog. He chewed it up and my cats ate the tiny pieces. Then they vomited it all over the house. My dog like to chew on sticks and I can't make him understand they are only for the cats. They can only be a very supervised treat away from Bosco.
Oh, joy. I bought the powdered form, and I periodically put a small amount on their toys. I took an old sock, stuffed it with pieces of towels and sheets, and tied off the end. They love to hold the sock in their paws after I treat it, kick the heck out of it, and slobber all over it. Then they look embarrassed and walk away.

An associate at the pet food store I go to said you can get a large plastic container and fill the bottom about three or four inches high with catnip and keep toys in it so they all smell like catnip!
I've never hear of any of these catnips before. I have gotten mine a catnip spray but it runs out so fast and it isn't cheap. I'll have to check out cat crack an cat weed

I just bought a dry mix of silver vine and catnip on chewy. hopefully they will like that.
How could they not? Oh, wait. They’re cats.
But I’m sure they’ll go crazy for it.One gallon pickle jar works well. It fits toys much larger than the marinator Jackson Galaxy sells.

That sounds purrfect!
I grow my own organic catnip, it's the oils that the cats react to, so freshly crushed catnip is best. It's not hard to grow if you have space that the cats can't get to to allow it to grow. My problem seems to be I have too much of it now, lol. I originally planted it in one 2x2 square raised plot. The cats roll in the plants outside and they have now "planted" it on all four sides of the house.
