MagJo Naturals Farm Direct Catnip, Freshest Available, Bulk Bag (1 Pound)

My cat loves this and it seems to be very fresh and it’s a full pound of catnip. A little pricey but best catnip I bought online!

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!

This foil lined paper envelope/bag arrived in a large cardboard box. When I brought the box in the house, my cats immediately attacked it. This made opening the box safely a little difficult because little paws kept snaking out trying to get at the box, and little toofies were chewing on the corners of the box. The smell is very strong, even I could smell it when I opened the box, despite the catnip bag being sealed. Beans (pictured) attacked the envelope aggressively and even clawed a hole in the paper and foil ad chewed it as I was attempting to open it. She is usually a very timid cat, but she went wild for this bag. When I opened the bag it was VERY STRONG smelling of catnip and all my cats tried to knock the bag out of my hands. We had to wrestle them into another room and shut them in until I finished putting it away (and then they got some). The leaf is a good manageable size with lots of flower heads/seed pods. There are sticks in the catnip, but most of them are readily crushed and aren't super pointy. The bag filled up my large metal canister all the way despite me compressing it tightly, and I still had more than half a bag of catnip left which I had to figure out since my cats were actively attacking it. We keep the stuff in a metal tin so they can't chew through, and we wound up putting the bag with the leftovers in the freezer to keep them out and now they mob me whenever I open the freezer. It's definitely a good product, but if you have cats, it might be a good idea to shut them in another room before you try to open the bag. Oh, and it's a LOT of product. For the price, you get an astounding amount of catnip--more than 4 cats can use in a year. This is ideal for someone who has a lot of cats to spoil, or someone who makes cat toys. Catnip is also good for headaches and insomnia as a tea made from it is a mild sedative, and also can soothe an upset tummy. It is a natural insect repellent, so there really are a million ways to use this stuff!

cats loved it, was a great deal for so much catnip!

This catnip caught my eye for the amount you get for an excellent price. The catnip is highly fragrant, my cats came to investigate as soon as I opened the bag. My cats loved rolling around in it, but I had to remove quite a lot of stems and twigs first. Overall, I liked the catnip even though it needs to be sifted through. You get a nice jumbo bag of the stuff for an excellent price, and the quality of the catnip is very good (but it could have a higher leaves to buds ratio). A good choice for homes with multiple cats and those cats love catnip.

I use a LOT of different herbs, and have for a lot of years. Catnip has been a "base" for my teas for about 15 years. So, I Know herbs... Y'all, this is the Freshest and best quality I have found (outside of my own garden). I would Highly recommend!

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.
