I have never been able to grow catnip outdoor. They were not bother by
cats until they got to a certain size. Then they started making that volatile
oil that is so attractive to the local feline population and overnight
entire plants would disappear.

Also, a note on flea collar. It should not be so loose that the wearer
can stick its lower jaw into it while cleaning itself. It happened to
one of my former cats. The poor guy got his lower canine teeth caught
on the flea collar and had his jaw forced open for
the whole day while I was at work.
