For my guy it depends on the brand. The cheapest I get is from the bulk bins at the grocery, that one makes him playful, the most expensive one comes in a plastic bowl and excites him and he races around like a maniac tends to jump on my legs if I walk around immediately after he has it. The mid range priced one has the least noticeable effect, he just sticks his nose in it and purrs. With all of them he paws it, rolls in it and he will eat after a bit. I use it like medicine to stimulate his appetite since he doesn't eat much and if I don't watch him he looses weight.
I've been wondering if it has different varieties like weed or if it is the processing that causes these different effects? In any case he perks up when I ask if he wants some catnip.
