Are any herbal teas OK for cats?

One of my cats is obsessed with tea! Certain herbal teas only...not actual black tea. Normally she's pretty well-behaved, but if I make a cup of herbal tea, she'll jump up on the counter if I leave it there, or try to stick her paw in it while it's on the nightstand. This only happens with certain herbal tea blends--particularly those containing mint. Is it safe for me to give her a little peppermint tea, or other herbal tea like chamomile, as a treat now and then?

I've read conflicting articles about how safe this is!  I've read that green tea is great for kitties, and THEN I've read that caffeine is poisonous to them.  I don't know about you, but I hate getting conflicting info like that.

I don't remember reading anything about mint tea-good or bad.  I can understand the mint obsession.  My cat has a major mint/spearmint fetish.  She will go after my gum in my purse-whole head in the purse!  LOL  Or, if God forbid, if I have it sitting there she'll chew on it with the wrapper on!  It's funny, but it bothers me too because I don't know if it's safe.

If I were you, I'd do some on-line searches to see what you come up with about the mint tea to see if it's safe.  That is your best bet.
