There’s only one other plant my cats have shown the level of interest they have to catnip… and that’s a kiwi plant I have been growing indoors.
Both of my cats will chew on the flowers, which have a strong smell.
According to Quora:
“ Kiwis are in the same genus as a plant called Silver vine (Actinidia), which is used in Asia the same way as catnip is used in Europe and North America. Both plants contain the active ingredient actinidine.
Catnip's active chemical, by the way, is called nepetalactone.”
