basically the big pot has, lemme think, rosemary, cilantro, dill, thyme, oregano, parsley, lavender, sage, and basil.

What I meant about the thyme is that it is one of those that likes a drier environment, so it should go out with the rosemary and sage. Only the oregano is going to be invasive. Something to consider about the lavendar is that it is likely to hang around for years and years, so it should eventually get its own pot. But I wouldn't be in a hurry about it for now.

Maybe a different variety of basil, like the purple or hot stuff. Winter or summer savory is a variety of thyme, but the flavors are a bit different. Oh! Chives! Garlic chives!

Good thing the catnip is already separate-- my cats were supremely uninterested in my big, lush pot of fresh catnip and when we moved from our 3rd story apartment (I had a balcony full of plants), the catnip pot was set out on the front porch of our new house. Big mistake. The first night it was obviously flattened, because SOMEONE SLEPT IN IT. Over the next few days it was nibbled to death. *sigh* Apparently I became the neighborhood 'nip pusher...
