Response patterns and alternatives to catnip. a Venn diagram (not drawn to scale) showing the overlap in responses to catnip, silver vine, Tatarian honeysuckle and valerian root. Ninety-five of the 100 cats tested were exposed to all four plant materials, of which 89 are included in this plot. The remaining six cats did not respond to any of the plant materials and are therefore not shown in this diagram. b Of the 31 cats that did not respond to catnip, 22 (71%) responded positively to silver vine, 10 (32%) to Tatarian honeysuckle and 6 (19%) to valerian root
