Yes, they are. Fresh or dried, catnip is safe for your cat.
You don't feed it to them, you sprinkle it on their toys or in a toy filled with catnip for them to enjoy their kitty high. It's also good to sprinkle on their scratch post to get them to scratch the post and not your furniture.
All types, especially my cat!
Many dogs enjoy catnip. My dog eats fresh catnip that grows in our yard and enjoys my cat's catnip toys more than the cat does. Before allowing your dog to eat catnip or play with toys, ensure that the catnip has not been sprayed with anything and that there are no squeakers or stuffing/fabric that the dog could ingest.
It's fine. I bought my cat some of that "all-natrual" fresh catnip from Everpet. He sniffed it and licked around it and bobbed his head back and forth but he hasn't touched ANY catnip ever since. Some cats donot like catnip but one thing you could try is rubbing the catnip leaves together for a few seconds unless it's Gitty Kitty (Liquid catnip in a bottle) also your cat will like a certain amount. They will probably not have a reaction to a teaspoon but a few tablespoons should do it. Like i said some cats just don't like it.
It depends. In the end, you're giving your cat the same catnip (unless you got organic seeds, which would be very good for your cat) only fresh instead of dried. It depends on your cat's tastes.
Catnip is a intoxicant used to make a cat get silly or playful, kind of like marijuana for cats. Catnip is used for the cat to play with or chew on depending on whether it is fresh or dry. You can sprinkle catnip on top of cat food in order to get the cat more interested in eating their food.
No, because catnip is harmless to cats. Some cats may vomit if they eat catnip leaves, or a large amount of catnip leaves, but that is a normal reaction when cats eat a lot of any plant. Otherwise, catnip will have no negative effects on your cat's health. It should be noted that some cats may react aggressively to catnip rather than happily. This is only because different cats respond in different ways to catnip. If your cat happens to seem angry after exposure to catnip, it does not mean that it has harmed him/her in any way.
on catnip
No, catnip does not affect a cat's eyesight. It does affect their mood and gives them a temporary feeling of euphoria.
catnip has the advantage of making your cat happier and providing him/her something to play with, but catnip can also be very smelly, disruptive to the cat, and sometimes can be very messy
You put catnip on the cat furniture.
catnip triggers the dopamine in cats because the brain experiences euphoria when the cat starts to eat the catnip, and the cat likes the food, so the dopamine levels rise in the brain triggering the brain activity to rise. you should most likely give your cat a small saucer amount of catnip.
