No catmint has blue flowers.Cats love as it is a mild narcotic for them.

When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Loosestrife or Lysimachia vulgaris.
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Loosestrife - and it's a FAB ground cover when you've an area to just smother and make unattractive to cats  8)

It's a robust upright plant, doesn't need staking, glorious sunshiny yellow flowers in the darkest summer days - and cats can't get in there to cr*p cos they (the plants ::))are so dense they don't provide the necessary turning circle for the moggie before squatting.

The plant that really deters cats is supposed to be Rue (Rhue?). The smell makes them retch...
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
