My cat likes mint-flavored dental floss! When he hears me taking some off the roll, he comes running. I let him chew the end of it while I hold it so that he can't eat it.
I think that catnip is part of the mint family of plants.> My cat loves the taste of mint. If I have minty breath, just after I brush my teeth or eaten a mint, she really wants to smell it. She comes right up to my mouth and practically sticks her face in it. If I have traces of toothpaste or peppermint oil on my hands, she licks it like crazy. I've figured it out: if you smell fresh catnip, it smells just like mint leaves. She also likes the smell and taste of fresh basil and oregeno. I always have it on my fingers after I make a salad, and she licks them like crazy too! I love cats-they're so wierd!
