Catnip, scientifically known as Nepeta cataria, holds a mystical allure over many feline friends, serving as nature’s playful indulgence. This fragrant herb, belonging to the mint family, produces a volatile oil called nepetalactone, which triggers a euphoric response in susceptible cats. When cats encounter catnip, they may exhibit a range of behaviors, from rolling and rubbing to playful antics and vocalizations. Interestingly, not all cats are affected by catnip, as sensitivity to its effects is genetically determined and typically develops around six months of age. Despite its playful reputation, catnip also holds practical applications, such as encouraging timid cats to explore or facilitating relaxation during stressful situations. Whether as a source of amusement or a tool for enrichment, catnip continues to enchant cats and captivate their human companions with its irresistible allure! SHOP HERE |
