(* this review was originally posted for the 3 oz size, a verified purchase by me on Amazon)
I purchased three well reviewed brands of catnip for Tristan, my six month old Savannah cat. In the video, I have just placed down three plates of catnip from freshly opened packages. The brands from left to right are Sojos Certified Organic Catnip, in the middle is the product in this listing Cosmic Catnip (this video review shows the 3oz jar), and on the far right we have Frontier Catnip Leaf & Flower C/s Certified Organic, 16 Ounce Bag.
Like the little bear at Goldilock's table, Tristan tries a bit from each plate; at the end of this clip he seemed to have no *overwhelming* preference for any particular brand though. As far as his physical reactions to each (sampled separately), he did not act "stoned" nor hyper, he merely scratches on his scratch pad a bit more with catnip than without catnip and gives himself a good stretch. He also strongly prefers catnip infused mice to non-catnip mice and I'm happy to oblige.
As as far which *I* prefer, if it's all the same to the cat (and it seems that it is) here's my take on things -
The Frontier brand is by far the least expensive at just under fifteen dollars for 16oz. It is slightly more coarse and seems to have a little bit of stems mixed in. VERY fragrant though and turned out to be a close second favorite of the cat reviewing the products. I would definitely buy the Frontier brand again and use it for stuffing toys generously or for "marinating" his little cloth mice. Organic and suitable even for human consumption if you like it as a tea.
The Sojos brand (1oz can) is the most expensive by my calculations comes to over a hundred dollars for 16oz!. The description says it produces a "harmless, euphoric state" but we saw no evidence of that. Smelled fresh but definitely a milder aroma than the other two brands; had the finest chopped leaves of the three. Hand harvested if that is important you or your cat.
With the Cosmic Cat brand, we *may* have a winner.....
When the camera was off, Tristan returned to the Cosmic Cat sample several times more so than the other brands. I repeated this little taste test for the next two days and Cosmic Cat had a small but definite edge over the competition. I'd have to say that I agree with his choice; the Cosmic Cat brand leaves are darker and more fragrant than the other two brands. The leaves are also cut just right not too fine/not too large, and no stems or coarse pieces. I find the Cosmic Cat brand's price reasonable, the storage container is very convenient, and the 3oz* size is enough not to be too little and not so much to get stale and spoil.
Hope you find this information useful in choosing for your own cat or kitten.

This is the only catnip our cat will have anything to do with and she LOVES Cosmic Catnip. It's been a little difficult to find in the stores here but Amazon always has it for sale online. The packing was great and shipped very quickly. I would recommend this to everyone who has a cat.My cats have gotten so used to this Cosmic Catnip that they won't be impressed by any other! People have given me other catnip and they basically turn up their noses at it after using Cosmic Catnip. This stuff is the BEST!! If you keep it tightly closed, it lasts a very long time. My cats are the best judges and they LOVE it!!! Even my friendly strays outside love it!! That's got to say something!Read Best Reviews of Catnip Jar, 4-Ounce Here
Even though it was packaged extremely well, for some reason my "Max" knew this package was for him. From the second I opened the box he was all over my legs trying to trip me up. When I finally opened the jar he couldn't take the suspense and was on my desk smearing the container. Opened the jar he stole the lid and took off with it. Over all I would say this cat nip works a little too well :)Want Catnip Jar, 4-Ounce Discount?
Same great strength as previous offering, but this batch contains a LOT of seeds and stems which the previous version did not. I have to pick out the larger bits so stems don't get stuck in my kitty's throat. I hope that this is not an indicator that the brand is going downhill; if I want a bag of stems I can buy crappy Hartz brand catnip for a fraction of the price.
