Yes, it's perfectly fine. Peppermint, or any type of mint, is in the same family of plant as catnip - which most cats love. It's also just a simple herb, smells and tastes good, and may have a soothing effect if your cat is having an upset tummy.
Yes. Catnip is actually a type of mint and other types of mint have similar properties. mint should not be it's main food source though.
In small amounts, store-bought mints will pose no problems for your cat. Make sure it is not the type than contains sorbitol (artificial sweetener) which can have a laxative effect.
yes
It should be. Cat mint is only a plant similar to a herb. If you grow one yourself the cat will shred it in no time.

i have had pica for cornstarch for almost 30 years and i don't eat mint.
My cat recently ate a mint stem and I wanted to know it could possibly hurt him. I found out that the ASPCA warns that peppermint plants and oils are dangerous for felines to ingest, as their stomachs aren't capable of digesting it properly. Consuming mint can lead to liver damage, nervous system problems, gastrointestinal malfunctions and other issues for cats. Although catnip is a member of the mint family, and its not rare for a cat to express interest in other types of mint, it's best to avoid exposing them to strong minty plants, oils, and essences. Inspite of this admonition by the ASPCA, my cat is doing fine after drinking quite a bit of water.
Cat mint (Nepeta cataria), also known as: Catnip, catnep, catrup, catswort, and field balm, is used medicinally to treat fevers, upset stomach, and colic.Cat mint is mild enough to be used in the treatment of children so the effects are soothing and very subtle. The most common ways to take cat mint is either in a tincture or tea.
Nothing. But you can eat them. A 'Mint Humbug' is the notorious old English buttery, crunchy mint with a chewy center.
