Catnip bud is the best and most potent part of the catnip plant. (same as any other plant that buds) Truth is, its the essential oils found within the catnip buds that drives our feline friends crazy. Most companies extract these oils from thier commercial grade catnip and sell it. Many products such as perfumes, air fresheners, insect repelants and pharmacuticals are made with catnip oils, just to name a few. Catnips essential oils are a valuable comodity these days. The twigs, sticks and broken down leaves that are left over after the extraction process are left to dry out, sometimes for months, on warehouse floors before packaging this waste as catnip. This waste was never grown for your cats happyness and enjoyment. They just figured out a way to make a few bucks off their garbage. Other companies use machines to harvest their  catnip. This method mulches the catnip breaking up the plant as  well as the oils contained within it. This product does have some   oil content if kept fresh. Its commonly used in cat toys that lose their appeal to your cat after only a few days. Only toys made with whole catnip bud containing high oil content will recharge when being played with. The oils and plant break down a little with each play. Most toys use mulched catnip that was broken up before being placed in the toy. There are very few companies that harvest their crops by hand and sell catnip bud exclusively. Kitty buzz is a Canadian company that specializes in selling only catnip buds. If you cant find it at your local pet store try thier website. My cats wont touch anything but this stuff now. [[http://www.kittybuzz.ca
