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.) Cat grass is also known as wheat grass and it is eaten by cats for roughage; many owners use it indoors so their cats won't eat their house plants.

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.

Can i give my hamster cat nip?

Some rodents have low tolerance to some species of mint and it may cause them to have digestive problems and diarrhea.

Why do cats eat cat nip?

Catnip is almost like a drug. It's like getting "high" but for cats. There's a particular chemical that triggers this reaction in their brains when they sniff it. However, it is not really known why it effects cats in the way it does, but it is due to a chemical called Nepetalactone that is released from the plant when a cat rubs, chews or otherwise "bruises" the leaves. Some cats aren't affected by catnip, and btw, some big cats are affected by it. It can also relieve stress and nervousness in cats.
