I grow wild mint in the screen room for the cats. And I use it in the winter for my hot tea sometimes.
Lately, the Dude has decided to get inside the container to eat. He used to sit beside it and eat. Too funny how he just lays down. Both cats seem to love the smell and taste.
Reminds me of my sweet Grandmother, she would pick wild mint on the side of her trail she walked every day. And used it in her tea. Dustin would help when he took walks with her. The good days.
Photo is mine.

Dude has figured out it is much more comfortable to sit up there to eat.
Those are good memories of your grandmother and Dustin to hold dearly.

I wonder if my dogs would enjoy them. They hate the smell of anything minty.

I was inside taking this photo. He is so funny to watch. This was started by my neighbor I los a few years ago to cancer. Her husband is the one I talk about often with the tomatoes and that lost his dog Oreo. She gave me a cutting years ago and mine is still growing each year.

Cats eating mint? Sounds strange. I use mint in a lot of things like tea, sauces, cooking etc.

@CarolDM Is this mint different from the mint we use?

I didn't know cats like mint but Dude certainly seems to be enjoying it.
My mom used to grow mint and I would always bring some home for tea (both hot and iced)

If a cat wants something bad enough they'll find a way to get it. That's actually really cute.

@CarolDM I think so, too. Or I would if I saw it. My cats do similar.
