MagJo Naturals Farm Direct Catnip | Freshest Available | Bulk Bag (Half Pound)

All I have to say is "Who wants catnip?" and all 3 of my cats come racing in! They don't react to any other brand of 'nip the way they do with Majgo! You can smell the difference as soon as you open the bag! Super fragrant and VERY fresh!!! I have to remind myself not to put it out more than 2-3x/wk so they don't become bored with it (kind of like human drug users getting tolerant of their drugs).I recommend cutting just a small piece of the top to access the contents (avoiding the seal) so it keeps the rest fresh longer. I was going to divide the bag into 5 portions & vac-seal 4 because there's a LOT of catnip in this bag but the package has such a very good closure built in it's doing a grand job of keeping the leaves nice & fresh.I like to take their odds n ends...feathers, cloth balls etc. & put them in the catnip bag when it seems the cats are bored with them. I leave them in the package for a few weeks to a month before bringing them out again.Another cost-effective trick was instead of buying catnip toys I took some very small stuffed animals left from when my granddaughter was a baby, took out the stuffing & replaced it with Magjo catnip! Whoo-ee! My cats loved this & they all got a lot of (much-needed) exercise batting these little toys around! Several (pretend) cat fights started when Cammie - {short for 'camouflage', as she's a12 lb tortoise that's part Cheshire...she can disappear by blending in to the hardwood floors or the office chair, lol} - streaked up & stole one of the new catnip toys another cat - Felix [my giant 23lb tuxedo - who isn't fat! His front legs are 7" long(!) making him the LeBron James of the feline world!]. Of course, this meant 'immediate pursuit & attack & get my toy back! 'Though some dispute this, I believe catnip is good for cats. it gives them not just a 'high' but it can mellow out stressed kitties, which all cats experience now & then. I know our county shelter forbids catnip in all forms, lord knows why. When I visit I always sneak in a little toy filled with Magjo for one of my favorites, an orange tabby named Garfield (what else?) who's been there for over a year. :{ He purrs & jumps all over his new toy, which I know will disappear as soon as I leave. But he gets a much needed respite from his cage, being allowed to romp in the display room & getting to chase his toy, toss it in the air, etc. He gets to decompress for an hour or so before having to return to his cage. When one of my cats passes & if he's still there, he's coming home with me!I've had cats all my life (and I won't say how many decades that is) and think part of why my cats are so healthy & live so long is because they get catnip to keep them de-stressed and to keep their digestion in order. Our third cat, Angel (7-1/2 lbs) is a super-senior at 18 yrs old(!) & we had a feral kitten who adopted us & started out as 'Mouchka' but was later renamed 'The Moose' - because that tiny kitten turned into a giant 24lb cat [not obese but more 3-mos cougar-like in size], who lived to 26(!!!) - who loved his catnip. (He also liked jumping off the ledge under our second floor window onto unsuspecting people below, like the mailman!) He'dve adored Magjo catnip!

I have a few cats and they get catnip as a treat fairly often. I've tried other brands and even mixes with catnip + silvervine, and they didn't like those. They seem to really like this brand though, and 1lb is a huge amount of catnip so it will last a while, and it was a good value.

Great price

This catnip is very scented. I have a giant Mason jar that I keep my catnip in. While I was pouring it into the jar, one of my cats appeared from the back of the house and she was adamant I hand over the nip NOW.The instructions on the package for proper brewing for human tea was nice. I sipped on some while doling out the catnip to my cats. My neighbor's cat came sprinting over for a share, too. The tea is great as well. I will definitely save this seller so I can get more.

A couple of thoughts...first, I had no idea how much a pound of catnip is. It's a 10x16" bag stuffed full...a lot. And, if both cats liked it I'd be very happy with the amount. As it is, I'm going to freeze some of it to help retain as much freshness as possible. It arrived very fresh and healthy-looking and chopped very fine...I don't know about the bottom of this monster bag, but the top half is free of twigs, big stems and the like.There are half a dozen or so common nepeta varieties used as catnip. I believe this variety is called "the true catnip, and most cats like it. This particular one smells very minty and is the type I grow in my garden. Since my cat doesn't like the garden one, I would have known she wouldn't like this bag of the stuff....if only I'd asked. All of this aside, it's a heck of a lot of fresh minced catnip for an excellent price.

decent quality, gets um reaaaal high

I make catnip toys..so there's alot of stems etc in this that make it difficult to "pour" into a toy...and they poke out of the toy...🤨.PLUS many times now I've been poking it in with my fingers and ended up with a thistle or cactus needle?? ..so I wouldn't want that in my cats mouth..Taking this all into consideration I don't think I'd be making the tea described on the bag.....and drinking it!!!It is a huge bag..and the smell does not attract my cats....not even kittens,,I dont think I'd buy it again.

Es staubt ganz schön wenn man die Tüte aufmacht und es hat mich etwas überrascht, dass auf der Tüte eine Anleitung zum Tee kochen aufgedruckt ist.Als Tee wollte ich das nicht trinken.Ich habe es in kleine Stoffbeutel gefüllt und den Katzen zum Spielen gegeben.Sie haben kurz damit gespielt, nach 2 Minuten war das Kissen uninteressant und lag im Eck. Das war nicht so der große Bringer.Für die Wirkung zu teuer, würde ich nicht wieder kaufen, schade ums Geld.
