Made from essential oil extracted from our legendary catnip buds and distilled water. It can be used to rejuvenate old toys, or as a training tool for cat beds or scratch posts. No more mess, just pure fun!
Around the 90’s, other brand name catnip sprays made their appearance on the mass market. Unfortunately, they made a bad reputation of the concept of liquid catnip for cat’s playtime, instead of the well-known messy leaf and flower mulch. Their products did not generate the same response in cats as regular catnip, so it was dismissed as a “So-So” product.
Why? Most of the other available catnip sprays on the market today are made with catnip extract, not catnip essential oil.
What is the difference? To get a plant extract, the process involves mashing the plant, then a maceration process in alcohol (or other similar liquids) solution to gain a scent. (This is one of many ways to do it. Cold pressing the plant is another.)
To obtain essential oil, the process is more complicated and a costly one. From The Field use steam distillation to get the catnip essence. This essential oil is very sensitive to temperature variation and direct sunlight. We then mix a small calculated amount of pure catnip essential oil in distilled water in each bottle.
