Cats can’t overdose on catnip, and it doesn’t matter if they eat a little of it (although it doesn’t work as well when eaten). It works best in adult cats – kittens under six months and older cats show less of a reaction.Ĭatnip does not affect humans and is quite safe to use in all cats of any age. Responses to catnip can also be highly variable – some cats don’t respond to it at all, others become a bit sleepy, and some are very hyperactive. Some consider it a ‘drug trip’ for your cat, others more of a sexual response – but either way your cat is happy!Ĭatnip is short-acting and not addictive. When this is inhaled by cats, their brains interpret it as a strong pheromone which triggers the behavioral euphoria the cat then displays, activating the happy feeling centers of the brain. The active ingredient is called Nepetalactone. The herb is then collected and dried and used in cat toys and products. In this article, we will explore those questions!Ĭatnip is a mint herb called Nepeta cataria, found throughout the world. But you might also wonder what catnip is and how it works, and whether overdose is possible. You will find it sold in most pet shops and inside many cat toys, giving cats a short-lived extra buzz.
