1. Cats’ Reaction to Catnips
When cats are given a catnip,
they may rub their bodies on it, roll over it,
or excitedly chew on it or lick it.
There may be differences across cats,
but especially for those cats who react strongly,
they are likely to meow energetically or growl.
In extreme cases, cats may drool
and behave like they are crazy for a couple of minutes.
In multi-cat households, fights may break out.

2. Why Cats like Catnips
Catnips are also called cat recreational drugs.
There is a chemical called “nepetalactone”
found in the leaves and stems of catnips.
When cats smell this scent,
they react to a chemical substance called “pheromones”
and feel elated.
That’s how catnips came to be called cat drugs.

3. How To Utilize Catnips
There is no problem with cats eating catnips,
so it is fine to spray the herb
on cat toys, scratchers, snacks, or food.
Catnips are especially useful
when cats are introduced to new environments or new cat food.
They will be able to better adapt to the change.
