We seem to have a revolving door of cats here at Calico Fields, all of them well loved.  Occasionally, we give them a Lavender Catnip Pillow.  They are the official cat testers.  Over the years we’ve had a few cats that didn’t care at all for catnip, but for the most part they love to lick the pillows and rub their faces on them.  They sort of go into a “zen” mode.  We had one very social cat, named Cheetah, that loved to greet visitors to the farm and sometimes would meow outside the Lavender Shop door in search of the catnip pillows and a little attention.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, not all cats have inherited the sensitivity to the essential oils in catnip.  About 50% of cats have no reaction.   For the others though, “catnip targets feline “happy” receptors in the brain”.

We’ve made them just the right size for this little cat paws……  2.5″ x 3.5 “
