∙ 12y agoYes! Catnip is an herb that contains the chemical Nepetalactone and causes a euphoric mind-altering effect in cats. The gene responsible for producing this effect is hereditary and present in two thirds of the feline population. Though it could certainly be labeled a drug due to it's mind-altering abilities, catnip is nonaddictive and harmless.

Catnip is what will make your cat hyper. Catnip affects the majority of cats like a drug (some refuse to eat it or are unaffected by it.)

Some cats have symptoms from catnip other than being "hyper" - acted sedated, or seeming to hallucinate (chasing invisible things, being spooked by nothing, etc.) But catnip doesn't seem to have any ill effects. Cat grass is recommended for a cat's digestive health.
