catnip
Mint for mousers
Catnip is a plant in the mint family that produces a chemical attractant to cats.
Most cats react to catnip with euphoric behavior—rolling, rubbing, and general excitement—though the effect is genetic and some cats show no response.
Dried catnip is sold as a treat or stuffed into cat toys.
Figuratively, catnip describes anything irresistible to a particular audience: Celebrity scandals are catnip for tabloids.
