Kitten Kaboodle has been making and selling fine Cat Toys and Gourmet Catnip
on Whidbey Island since 1989. The unpolluted air and rich soil of our Catnip fields give our Catnip a reputation for being
particularly appealing to felines.
Despite being a smaller business we at Kitten Kaboodle feel we can supply
you with the greenest, freshest and best Catnip on the market. We never use stalks in our Gourmet Catnip and use no
pesticides of any sort on the plants so you are assured of getting the purest form of Catnip.
Please contact us if you wish to order or if there are any questions.
"My Cat(s) Don’t Like Catnip."
The is a very small percentage of cats that are unaffected by Catnip.
(about 10%) However if the rejection comes from a group of unrelated cats (not siblings or mother-father) the chance are that
the problems lies in your Catnip. Catnip can sit on the shelves in Pet Shops for month before being purchased. In grocery
stores it
can be even longer. Most of our Catnip is sold within days of being processed.
Also check out the color and the content. You will never find large woody chopped up stalks, hay or straw in Kitten Kaboodle
Catnip.
We use only premium Catnip Leaves dried and hand cut- immediately placed
in our zip lockbags then stored in air tight containers.Although not all cats respond the same way to all so-called cat aphrodisiacs, most
will go crazy over Catnip (Nepeta Cataria). Long before anyone discovered that this plant, a native of Europe, triggered
a response in cats, it was used for tea and as a medicinal herb to treat a number of ailments. It is also said to be an effective
mosquito repellent.
