From the field to the floor.
Grown on a family farm in South Africa, sprinkled anywhere, rolled in on the spot.
Everything you'd want to know
One ingredient, grown the slow way. Here's what's in the pouch, how to use it, and why cats go a little bit wild for it.
Why this catnip stays strong
Catnip loses its scent over months, so the longer it sits before it reaches you, the weaker it is. Ours is picked, air-dried and packed the same season. It comes from Bushwillow Estate, a family farm in South Africa: hand-picked, air-dried rather than heat-dried, and packed leaf and flower only. No stems, which carry almost no scent and are there to make a bag look full.
The result is catnip that still smells like catnip when you open the pouch. Keep the pouch sealed in a cupboard and it'll stay strong for the eight weeks a pouch usually lasts.
How to use
- Crush the leaf between your fingers to release the oil.
- Sprinkle it where you want the cat to play.
- Let the cat find it. Most cats go for ten minutes and then sleep it off. It isn't addictive, and cats stop when they've had enough.
- Reseal the pouch.
What it's for
Sprinkling and rolling in: on a toy, a scratching post, a bed, or inside a cardboard box.
Ingredients
Dried catnip (Nepeta cataria), leaf and flower. Nothing else.
FAQ
Where can I buy catnip in the UK?
Here, with free UK delivery. Supermarkets and pet shops sell it too, but check the date on anything in a jar; catnip loses its scent within months of harvest.
How much should I give my cat?
A pinch, crushed between your fingers. More catnip doesn't make a bigger reaction; fresher catnip does.
Why doesn't my cat like catnip?
A lot of cats don't respond, and it's genetic rather than anything you've done; silvervine works on most of the cats catnip doesn't.
Is this the same as cat nip?
Yes. Catnip, cat nip and catmint all refer to the same plant, Nepeta cataria.

Cats don't do polite.
Best catnip ever
“One of my boys sniffed the open bag for half a second and went absolutely nuts. I never seen anything like it, he had us dying of laughter. I absolutely recommend this brand.”
Send your cat insane!
“I wanted to see if my cat would go weird/funny/ridiculous. I'm happy to confirm he went all three. Just even sniffing in the bag turned him feral. Perfect stuff.”
Our cat loves this!
“We've tried other catnips which were just left, but this one drives our cat nuts. He rubs his nose in it and rolls round in it… On our second bag now and well worth it!”
Crazy cat
“Our cat goes crazy for this. We have tried others in the past and she wasn't too interested… If you think your cat doesn't like catnip, try this!”
The best
“I have purchased various brands in the past with only turned up noses and ugly looks at me like 'what is this junk', but not this brand! I came back for more.”
Instant hit
“Our cat never seemed interested in catnip products. Until we bought this. Now I sprinkle a pinch on the floor and she rubs all over it. It's great to enrich her life.”
Had the desired effect
“Little did we know our cat can read! She knew what it was and ran over before the packet was even open… she's still 'pole dancing' 15 minutes later.”
Cat approved catnip
“The fact my cat couldn't resist but break it open and roll around in it when I wasn't home… I think says it all! Would recommend, but perhaps put it out of reach.”
My cat loves this
“So far this one we get the most reaction out of. He will go out of his way to knock this off a shelf to get at it, so be prepared to hide it away.”
Cats love it
“My cats love this stuff. I put a little sachet inside some of their toys and it's like they have a new toy. Highly recommended.”
Every cat owner's dream!
“As soon as I opened the packet, my cat went crazy! Rubbing his head all over me and the bag… I put some inside his mouse and he absolutely loves it.”
Happy cat
“I get those little furry mice… put a few in the bag, leave them for a day or 2 then give it your fur baby. They will love you furever.”
Best catnip quality I've had
“Top quality, ground down to a nice consistency, perfect for my cats to actually eat, unlike some other brands that have massive stems throughout their nip. Can't complain and neither can my cats!”
Cats go crazy for this!
“I'm a cat sitter and of all the catnip type things I try with my cat clients, this is the best. It comes in a resealable packet which really keeps it fresh.”
Clean, dust free catnip
“This is a small packet, resealable, with just enough for my needs. The catnip looks clean, fresh and not dusty. I'm pleased with it. Happy to recommend.”

Any last questions?
The practical bits: delivery, subscriptions and what happens if your cat shrugs.
When will my order arrive?
Orders go out from our UK fulfilment centre and usually arrive in 2–3 working days. UK delivery is free on every order. The pouch fits through a standard letterbox, so there's no waiting in.
How does the subscription work?
First order half price: £4.99. Then £7.49 every 8 weeks, with free delivery every time. More than one cat? Pick 2+ cats in the buy box and we'll send 2 pouches every 8 weeks (£9.98 first, then £14.98). We email you 3 days before each renewal with the price and what's in the box, with links to skip or reschedule.
Can I pause, skip or cancel?
Yes, any time, with no fees. Skip a delivery, reschedule it, pause for a while or cancel altogether from your subscription page, or email hello@justcatnip.com and we'll take care of it.
Why every 8 weeks?
Opened catnip loses potency. Every 8 weeks: a pouch lasts one cat about 2 months, and it's at its best fresh. If you'd rather go slower, skip a delivery from your subscription page.
What if my cat isn't fussed?
Some cats take a moment, so crush a few leaves first to release the aroma and let them find it in their own time.

Opened it and your cat isn't keen? Every catnip order is covered by our money-back cat guarantee. If your cat doesn't love it, tell us within 14 days of delivery and we'll refund you. No need to send it back.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
Not yet. For now we deliver to UK addresses only. Outside the UK you'll find us on Amazon.
Is it safe for all cats?
It's 100% dried catnip leaf and flower with nothing added. It's safe for kittens, but most don't react to catnip until they're around eight months old, so there's no point before then. It's for cat use only and should be kept out of reach of children.
Straight from the cat's mouth.
Highly effective catnip that elicits strong reactions from cats. Customers said cats "go crazy," rolling and playing energetically before calming down. Fresh, potent smell with good value and lasting quantity. Some noted small particles, occasional inconsistent reactions, and not suitable for kittens under 8 months.
- As soon as I opened the packet, my cat went crazy!!! I have one very happy cat!
- The title states 'extra strong' and this couldn't be truer!
- My cats went absolutely mental on this nip. I absolutely recommend this brand it's amazing!
My cats did to the bottom for the last crumb!
My cat has a skin condition and itches a lot but loves catnip because it relaxes him and keeps him happy, soon as I opened the package his face was in the packet. Knocked him out. He’s absolutely melted
I've bought catnip before and the cats were interested but this stuff was different. He went nuts over any toy I put this one so whatever it is he loves it.
Cats love it. I bought some little Hessian gift bags and put a spoonful in it and they went crazy.
My 7 month old kitten has been very hyperactive since we got her 3 weeks ago and this has done the trick. Will deffo buy again.
My cats loved it so much they sniffed it out during the night, and had the lot. It didn’t even last 12 hours!
Very good product cat enjoyed only a year and a half old and chills him out
my cat is 20 so not really up to much these days, but still, she loves it! at the end of the day, she’s still an old cat so doesn’t really go crazy, but it’s clear she really likes it and she loves to snuggle with the bag - it’s also especially helpful to keep her calm and happy while we try to brush the bits of her coat that she can’t really reach anymore. even if your cat isn’t up to lots of playing these days they may well still love this!
First time with catnip for Cosmo. Put it on his window seat he rolled around in it before flaking out. One chilled out kitty cat ❤️
This is direct from the cartel grade A catnip. My little fluffwagon is presently off her tiny cat nut. I put it on an old doormat which doesn’t stand a chance (you learn not to put it on anything you don’t want ripped to shreds).I’ve never seen my cat react so strongly to catnip, this is strong stuff. Highly recommend.
Definite hit with the kitties! Get quite a lot in the bag and good quality 😸
First time buying this product , it arrived on time and we were not disappointed! The packaging was great and my cat loved it! Best cat nip by far.Would highly recommend !!
My cat is high as a kite. She off her tit.
Super easy and well written instructions. My cat loves this grass! It grew extremely quickly as well (3 days)!
My cats love this catnip. They are playing and rolling in it and having a great time. It’s fresh and smells good.
Kiwi doesn't usually react to catnip but I thought I'd give it another go. This stuff arrived quickly and had her all playful and fun for a bit then super chilled out. Definitely way better than the catnip I've had before.
My cats played for ages! Sprinkled over their toys and it kept them entertained! End result!
Bought this for our slightly overweight 5 year old cat to get her more active and she absolutely loves it! 😊 Easy way to get her moving.
My kitty is 12 and has recently moved to being an indoor cat so thought she deserved a treat and my gosh she feel into the cat nip and just had a 30 min roll around and then chill!
Our cat loves this catnip over others we’ve tried
Amazing product! My cat Kiki doesn't usually show any interest in catnip so I thought I'd give this a try and I'm so glad I did. She couldn't wait for me to open the packet and was rolling around in the catnip! As you can see from the photo shes a very happy kitty. Will definitely be buying again
So we got the 3 kitty stoner archetypes from this nip! One was just happy to be here and had some very big eyes, another craved violence and was beating up everything he could find and dribbling everywhere, the eldest one was a lovebug and did a lot of rolling around
We ran out and couldn't find any in the local shops so decided to get this.Little did we know our cat can read! She knew what it was and ran over before the packet was even open, full of excitement.We gave her a pinch of it on her scratch post, and she went berserk! She loves catnip but this... she's still 'pole dancing' 15 minutes laterDefinitely buy this again but will have phone ready to record her next time
Got a kitten and 1+ year old.My boy cat loves it and will happily eat a medium sized handful, it's so funny his tongue always comes out extra long when he's had some to eat. Then I have to put it away in a cupboard otherwise he'd wrip the bag open. And both of them love to roll around in it. It's a cheap but very reasonable price, for such a good product. I've tried them with some of the sprays and toys but they wasn't interested. Until I got this 1. Which reminds me. I do need to order some more. The picture is my cats after having the catnip.
Great value catnip. As for the quality, the fact my cat couldn't resist but break it open and roll around in it when I wasn't home when he has never done anything like it before, I think says it all! Would recommend, but perhaps put it out of reach.
I bought this for my cat since it said 100% pure catnip and found that he loved it. It's quite a strong scent and I don't recommend giving your cat bunches of it constantly. I rarely give my tabby any but the few times I have he loved to roll around in it.
