Do I have the only two #cats completely oblivious and/or impervious to #catnip?

I've never seen two grown cats just go "meh" over catnip shaken into a sock & the top tied in a knot. It's an age-old, time-proven #cat #toy but no, Clark and LJ are not having it.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH MY CATS!

a couple of bastids!

@Studio_Gal I think it has to do with exposure as a younger cat to some extent (I dunno the internet said so), but I grow cat mint in my garden (and it's easy to grow in a pot) and every cat I know will go insane over a fresh leaf of it.

aaahhhh... yes b/c the babies grew up with a large & funderful golden retriever, there was no need to spice their lives up with a little catnip. So other than the odd toy they may have gotten from the grocery store, I don't know that they had much, if any, exposure in their yout's. And they're now 11. So since I'm a #gardening sort of a person as well as a #cat person, shmaybe I'll look for some cat mint & have a go at that!

@Studio_Gal It grows a bit like a weed (looks a bit like nettle, and has a decent scent), but at some point your cats will just destroy it in a drug-induced frenzy, so I put some new seeds down in my greenhouse every couple of months to replace the squished plants.
