Most cats do not like catnip until they are about 9 months old. Only about 70% of adult cats like it. I have 2 cats. One likes catnip A LOT and the other couldn't care less. As for treats they are both very finicky. They do like Pounce or at least they used to. One of the cats (that likes catnip) likes Tuna Juice, sardines and little bits of meat but the other one only likes her cat food. Neither cat likes canned cat food though; they only like the dry stuff.

Not all cats like treats or catnip. It varies from cat to cat. I had a cat who love cat treats but would snob up it's nose at catnip in any form and vice of versa. I think it just varies from cat to cat.

some cats just don't care for it. I have 2 cats and only one of them doesn't like it. my 5 month old male kitten can't get enough of it. he luvvvvvvvvs catnip. on the other hand, my 2 year old female sniffs it and then just walks away. she doesn't run away but she doesn't like it at all. I have catnip toys for them all around the house and I don't remember ever seeing her ever play with those toys. my 5 month old plays with them all the time though. some cats just don't like it I guess. your 3 cats aren't the only ones. it's kind of odd for ALL 3 of them not to like it though I think. hmmmmm... don't know.
as far as the cat treats go.....that's weird. both of my cats luvvvvvvv their treats. but you have to remember though: cats are like people, they like certain stuff and don't like certain stuff. they have their own personality and do what they want to do ALL day long.
Good Luck!! HIH!!!

my cats don't have the catnip gene, not all cats go wild for catnip. and most cats under 6 months don't go wild for catnip.

I don't know why, but my cat is the same. She turns her nose up at treats and just walks away from cat nip! I thought she was the only strange cat out there!

I have 4 indoor cats, and 2 of them do not like cat nip.... And then 3 of them like treats, the 4th one will eat them, only if you put the treat in her dish! Go figure!! They are all just so different with dif habits, and dif likes and dislikes, just like all of us humans, isnt it great?? lol

Cats can be finicky eaters just like humans can. I once had a cat who refused to eat canned and/or semi-moist food. She would only eat dry cat food.....which was nice as it is usually cheaper :-)
