Most cats I've had will sniff the nip, roll a bit, then go "ehhh boring" basically.

Maybe we've only ever had weak nip!

Fresher is for sure better. I grew some in my garden.

Oh! Also, don't grow it in your garden, it took over and is extremely hard to control, do it in a raised bed or a potted plant lol.

Those cats were all mortal enemies until they were brought together by catnip.

It's like an opium den or trap house for cats

I think they need to get the nip on their scent glands ? That's how ours seem to get high. We use some wood stick wrapped in some cord, usually it doesn't seem to do anything to them until you start firmly holding the stick for them to really rub their face on it. Or munch on it for a few minutes if we're not helping
