Cosmic Pet Products was originally established in 1975 as Cosmic Cat Corporation. It was developed out of the experience of Leon Seidman who was merely trying to make his cat, WB, happy. When he repeatedly brought home store bought catnip to treat his cat, WB repeatedly shook his head and walked away from it. Leon decided to get back to nature, go into the country, and get some good stuff. So he did and brought some back for his friends. He also continued to save the seeds. He planted then in the garden and they germinated and flourished. He kept going out to the country and cutting wild catnip to give to his cat and his friend's cats. His garden grew lush with catnip and his cat and his friend's cats were very happy.
