My old cat has always loved fresh growing catnip.  He'd roll over the plant
over and over then lick  his coat.  He would have nothing to do with the
dried plant.  I had to plant some for him on the ground, and some for me in
pots away from his 'rolling' plants.

What is odd is that my dogs used to love to lick him too after he got
covered with the catnip oils from rolling.
