It's good to see that kitty didn't turn it's nose up and ignore this (as they tend to do) - you must have done well! L

my kats dont even like catnip whenever we buy it and give it to them they dont even mind

Some humans may be a bit puzzled when I turn my nose up at this marvellous invention. This is because a low percentage of us cats lack the gene to smell catnip. A bit like some humans are lacking the colour gene to see full colour on the X chromosome. Meeeooooow...

Get a bottle, put some cat food or treats in it, jam the top with a cork or something.

how would the cat smell the treats inside? and how would it get it out?
