Some cats also find black olives to be a bit intoxicating.

That’s interesting! Now I want to experiment with my son’s cats.

I’ve never had a cat that is into catnip, but I had one that was into black olives.

They would come running from the farthest parts of the house if a can was opened, and they would only play with the olives and rarely eat much of them.
