*this is gonna drive the line-eater totally crazy*

I think that catnip toys you buy at the pet store are much too expensive.  You
can make a perfectly seviceable catnip toy by getting bulk catnip ($.55 oz) at
any good herb or tea store.  You put a little on a small (say 3 in sq) piece
of fabric and tie it up with dental floss.  Don El Gato likes it best when I
use the pocket from an old white shirt.

Also you can grow it (as has been pointed out here recently).  I put it into
a cage (upside-down moss basket) to prevent it from grabbing the cat by the
cajones as he is strolling through his garden because he otherwise has a bad
habit of thrashing it.  As the guy across the street says, "yeah, they'll
smoke it all up in one day".
