Shady Cat

Catnip & Silvervine - an amazing and power packed blend of our original Leaf & Flower catnip with organic ground Silvervine. A double whammy! If the catnip does not immediately tickle your cats fancy, the Silvervine will definitely do the trick.

It is offered in a 1.25 oz. bag, as part of our Superb Sampler Set and now a la carte in a glass tube!

Catnip & Valerian - a fantastic blend of our original Leaf & Flower and Valerian, a widely used relaxant that is known for its relaxing properties for both humans and animals alike! This blend is fantastic for any kitty but it can really shine when given to cats with anxiety issues, fear or behavioral challenges. 

It is offered in a 1.25 oz. bag, as part of our Superb Sampler Set and now a la carte in a glass tube! In fact, all four of Shady Cat's catnip blends are now offered in a 1.25 oz. bag and glass tubes! Take your pick! You can't go wrong!

Our Fine Ground Catnip is the same as our popular Leaf & Flower blend, just ground into a more refined texture.

It has only been offered in a 1.25 oz. bag and now we are offering a smaller portion in a glass tube! Who doesn't love more options?? 

Our Leaf & Flower Catnip is a ground mixture of only the leaves and flowers from the catnip plant.

We filter out as much of the stalk as possible, when drying and trimming such large quantities, because the stalk has none of the nepetalactone that attracts the cats!

All four catnip blends are now offered in a 1.25 oz. bag and glass tubes! Once only available as part of our Sampler Set. Who doesn't love options?

These dried catnip flowers are the most potent form of catnip, period. Nepetalactone is the natural chemical in catnip that make cats goofy and help them relax. The Nepetalactone is contained in the essential oil of the catnip plant. The flower portion of the plant holds the highest concentration of essential oil. There is less nepetalactone in the leaves. Buds are not easy to come by. They must be hand-harvested and delicately trimmed and packaged to remain intact. They must be harvested at the peak of freshness and are a seasonal product. Get them while you can!

How to use our catnip: we recommend that you keep your catnip stored in it's airtight bag to keep it fresh. Our catnip will stay potent for well over a year if kept out of the sun and airtight.

And due to its potency, all your kitty needs to feel that euphoric ecstasy is a tiny pinch. Just rub the catnip between your fingers to release all the oils stored in the catnip.

You can drop the catnip on the ground and they will usually nibble it up and/or roll around in it with pure bliss. Another great way to get your cat some exercise is to add some catnip to a favorite toy!

Is your cat forming some bad habits such as scratching their claws on your furniture? Well, we have an easy solution for that! Take a scratching post (sisal rope or cardboard variety- they love either!) and put it right next to the furniture you want them to avoid. Sprinkle some catnip on the scratching post and let them know you are doing this and they will gladly jump down to the post now and ignore your furniture!
