I'm here! It all depends on the cat. some can take it or leave it and some are positive junkies for catnip.
If your cats are the latter then I suggest you put some kind of protection around the plants or the little darlings will destroy it.
I have plastic netting around mine. It has an old hanging basket over the top to stop them getting in and rolling around. The plant grows through the netting and the cats graze on it as and when they want.
Have you ever seen a cat stoned on catnip? Believe me, it does happen.
To stop them rolling on anything else, you could soak short lengths of cane in neat Jeyes fluid and poke them into the soil around the plants. You won't smell it but the cats will.
The R2D2 is early in the year. The second picture shows the border and no sign of the catnips 'corset'. The third picture is a happy band of cats (before we lost Tommy) post catnip (the cat haters will be seething)

Ouch.
The mutt is well able to control the postman, tinkers and nordies. Draws blood on them all.
