Catnip in small amounts is not dangerous to kittens. However, newborns and very young kittens do not need exposure to catnip. Wait until they teens--after 6 months old.

Do dogs like catnip?

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.


How do you get a kitten to sleep in cat bed?

Kittens can sleep in many different ways or positons; usually curled up tightly or stretched out. Some kittens will sleep close to either other while others will prefer their own spot.


How can you tell if your kitten had too much catnip?

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.


Catnip toy how long does the catnip last in toy?

I find catnip toys lose their effect within the first month. I purchased a small toy in the shape of a mouse you can open and change the catnip yourself works best. The effects would depend on the cat though! :)

Is it harmful for cats to eat catnip?

AnswerDon't know. Kittens need to be older than 3 to 4 months to respond to catnip.Well...usuallyI had a cat who was born in my house, who loved catnip at three weeks of age.When he was a new kitten we had a cat bed with six-inch-high sides. About three days after he was born, he decided he didn't like it in there anymore...so he climbed out. He got halfway across the bedroom and decided he wanted to eat, so he screamed for his mother. She got him and put him back in the cat bed. He ate and climbed right back out. Two days after his eyes opened he climbed the blanket and got into bed with us. So...for the next eight weeks, until we felt comfortable with letting him out of the bedroom, he and his mother slept between my wife and I under the covers. And he was orange, which is the loudest color of kittens.ive read that its harmless to cats and humans
