Default Catmint/cat grass

I once had that experience; after local cats ate the catnip to the ground,
I made a cage of heavy hardware cloth (wire mesh, if it doesn't translate
well), and staked it down over the clump of plants. Next morning, the
badly bashed cage was several feet away, and the catnip gone. We decided
we didn't want to meet the cat that did THAT on a dark night!
