Cats like catnip for sure; I personally haven’t seen much love for catmint.
@Chills @Viridian Thank you, will remove. I wonder where it seeded itself from, didn’t notice any neighbors with the vine.
Looks like Horehound (Marrubium vulgare).

Our neighbors’ cat likes to hang out under our catmint in the summer.
We need the flowers. It could also be a Stachys (hedgenettle) or a Ballota (black horehound). White horehound (Marrubium) is possible but I don’t think it is a good match.
If the plant simply appeared out of nowhere, it may not be a catmint simply because the commonly planted ones don’t make seed.
Yeah probably a catmint. The flowers are still not open…those are calices…

While working at a customer’s house,I saw this Cactus.The owner received the plant as a gift and wasn’t sure about the name.
The outer leaves are soft,like a succulent,but older growth has hard spines.No blooms yet.

That very well could be the one,thanks.Common name is Eve’s Pin or Eve’s Needle.
The flowers look cool too,from pictures of others.

Did you conclude it to be Catmint? (Could it be horehound?)
No,I’m not totally sure.Some cats really like to roll on the plant.
Does Horehound have a minty fragrance?
It is a mint, has rough texture leaves and some ‘hairs’ on back of them I think. Been a few years since I grew it. (I love the horehound candy).
(Catmint, of course, is in the catnip family…milder odor and smaller leaves and most are perennials.)
A friend has this strange succulent house plant that I am hopping to help ID. I don’t have a clue honestly.
The leafs are flat , has a bizarre growth habit with this large (~4inch )bloom.
.
Any ideas ?
Epiphyllum oxypetalum, the Dutchman’s pipe cactus, princess of the night or queen of the night?
