Little Bitty doesn’t respond to catnip, but apparently gall fruit is her jam!

      I love this take and have accepted it as truth. I won’t be biting the Bitty to check anytime soon

      That’s wild? I found out about gall fruit from a clearance 3 pack of alternatives for cats who don’t respond to catnip

        I remembered wrong, he likes oregano and chick peas. Hes weird. He Also loves goat cheese and yogurt. We never give him much though. Does bitty have any weird preferences?

          Maybe? I think all of hers are pretty normal. Bits of any meat we eat, cheese, the beans and rice from taco bell burritos. Normal cat things

            My cat hates fish! We even tried serving him fresh sashimi! He doesn’t like any of it! Not the tuna, salmon, mackeral, or squid. He looooves bonito flakes though.

            He loves hamburgers though, one time we got five guys and half an hour later we found the trashcan knocked over with him licking all of our napkins.

              That’s wild! Bitty loves shrimp, brim, fish sticks, tuna, and every other fish she’s tried.

              Bitty loves hamburgers! One time, my mom gave her a tiny bit of raw deer and she growled like a demon at anyone who got close

    What a cutie!

    I’ve found that some cats who don’t respond to catnip, respond to silvervine, or honey suckle bushes.

    I did have one that responded to ground coffee. He loved to roll in it, a small amount, but he loved it.

      Thank you!

      Gall fruit is the fruit of the silvervine plant! I got a clearance 3 pack of alternatives for cats that don’t respond to catnip and it had silvervine, gall fruit, and marshmallow root flakes. Gall fruit seems to be her favorite, so I’ll have to make sure to keep it! She also loves the smell of weed, but she can’t have that in her toys 😂

          Yeah! I try to make sure Bitty can do anything she wants including have kitty drugs (catnip, silvervine, gall fruit) 😂
