Nip
An herb prized by cats for its effects. Specialized varietals are grown by cats in various locations.
Some cats do not experience any effects, others abstain for religious or personal reasons. Some cults use it for spiritual purposes. Fancy cats who are nip enthusiasts may frequent Nip Dens, which stock rare varieties.
