Thread: "Catnip" cats vs "Valerian" cats

[QUOTE= haven't tried valerian but my friend had some and one of her cats managed to tip a bottle all over herself - she was very popular in the rest of the household!![/QUOTE]

Oh dear I can just imagine that......!
To me it smells like cat s**t,nothing nice about it at all,did the poor cat have to keep to her own company for the rest of the day ?

I've never smelt it!!

Cat had to have a bath but still couldn't get all the stuff out....and she's a Siberian so you know how big their coats are...

Oh I believe it about the smell hanging on in the coat & being a siberian as you say a lot to cling onto,don't worry if you haven't smelt it but if ever a whiff comes your way you will certainly know why your friends cat was unpopular.
There is one other "aroma"that I nearly put on par with it,apologies to the gentleman on the forum,but it is Brute.That seems to cling & overpower as well & reminds me of my brother,he was in the navy & whenever he came home on leave dad used to complain that bruv used all his shower gel,every evening he would go for a shower before heading to the local,hubby had been given a Brute gift set which he had no intentions of using so I rescued one of dads empty shower containers & filled it with the Brute,sure enough brother had a shower,then we heard the shower go again,finally he came down to say goodbye & with his head held high & not a word said went out with the smell of Brute still wafting in the air behind him.Dads shower gel was safe from that day on.
Digressed really haven't I,bet everyone is going to be wanting to get a smell of valerian now to compare....!
