Does your cat react to catnip?
An interesting question as some studies say over 1/3 of cats (depending on the local population) don't have the receptors for catnip (mimics a sexual pheromone apparently) and thus don't react to catnip.
My B-i-L's "Siamese" reacted very ecstatically to catnip the first time we got her a plant. Didn't react so much on the next plant so maybe it was the catnip. Other cats we've cat sat have respond to dry catnip.
Currently we have two young male ragdolls (from same breeder but not close relations) and both don't seem to. We have lots growing in the garden and they think it smells interesting but no reaction otherwise. Same thing to canned/packaged cat nip.

I smile when I see container ships sailing past my house laden with stuff made in China
