> > My cat loves the taste of mint. If I have minty breath, just after I brush my teeth or eaten a mint, she really wants to smell it. She comes right up to my mouth and practically sticks her face in it. If I have traces of toothpaste or peppermint oil on my hands, she licks it like crazy. I've figured it out: if you smell fresh catnip, it smells just like mint leaves. She also likes the smell and taste of fresh basil and oregeno. I always have it on my fingers after I make a salad, and she licks them like crazy too! I love cats-they're so wierd!

> Glad to know mine isn't the only loony toon out there! She'll try to lick my lips if I've just eaten something minty or just brushed my teeth. She's a riot. I never used to be a cat person. I got my two because I couldn't get a dog and I sort of grudgingly accepted that it was this or nothing. I never expected to love these little creatures so much. I wouldn't trade them for any dog.

Check out this link, it talks about catnip and mint. It also has a recipe for catnip tea for cats!
