On another note I wonder if it would deter or attract the
neighborhood cats...Hmmm

My FLA friend bought a large catnip plant from home depot and kept it on her
back patio in a pot for her cats. She lived in a large complex with lots of
neighbors with lots of cats. Her two female (not fixed) cats would spend lots
of leash time on the patio. So many cats would stop by to get high she had to
get rid of it. It was hard enough already keeping the toms away.
