It's just like how some humans like chocolate and others don't.
Some cats really like catnip.
Because cats biochemistry and physiology are different from other groups of animals. Catnip doesn't actually only work on cats! Some dogs like catnip too! And catnip doesn't work on all cats, only about 2/3 of them like it.
Catnip contains a chemical that some cats (but not all cats) find attractive.
Cats like catnip. It can work on even some big cats like Tigers and Lions.
Some cats like to eat lawns, catnip, herbs and such.
There is an oil in the plant that catnip originates from that cats are extremely susceptible to. The smell of the catnip, or the plant, causes cats to behave in a certain manner. Therefore, catnip becomes a natural addition for cats.
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.
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.
To some cats, catnip just doesn't appeal, whether they had a vaccination or not. However, some cats are very attracted to the scent.
If you mean on cats: It has an aromatic oil which is like alcohol to a cat but the cat only has to sniff it and it kind of makes the cat drunk. Also the aromatic oil makes it addictive to cats.
Hi, I dont think catnip will do anything to small dogs. I`d like to know that for sure too since I might be getting a small dog soon. But since I am not quite sure,check it out on www.google.com! Good Luck!
Probably its not affected by the catnip. Some cats don't get crazy by inhaling catnip. Its just a normal thing. They'll just meow and roll into the catnip.
