Witness your cat's most innocent and delightful moments, starting with a can of catnip!
The nepetalactone in catnip stimulates a cat's sense of smell, producing a brief (typically 5-15 minutes) euphoric effect. Behaviors include rolling, rubbing, meowing, and jumping, effectively relieving boredom for indoor cats
For some cats, catnip can have a calming effect, making them relaxed and lethargic. This helps alleviate stress for cats prone to anxiety, such as during car rides, vet visits, or when guests are over.
Catnip can stimulate the play instinct in many cats, making them active and encouraging them to run around. It's an excellent way to encourage exercise for less active "couch potato" cats.
Catnip is a great tool for behavior guidance: Sprinkling a little on new scratching posts, cat trees, or beds can attract cats to use them, helping them quickly adapt to new furniture.
Promotes scratching: Guides cats to scratch on designated posts instead of your sofa.
Rewards positive behavior: Can be used as a highly effective reward during training.
A small amount of catnip can sometimes stimulate a cat's appetite and may help cats that are occasionally off their food.
Notes:
Not effective for all cats: Approximately 30%-50% of cats are not sensitive to catnip, which is determined by genetics. Kittens usually only start responding after 3-6 months of age.
Overuse may cause over-excitement or mild discomfort in cats. It is recommended to use it once a week to avoid "tolerance" and maintain the cat's sensitivity to it.
Safe and non-addictive: Catnip is non-addictive for cats; its effects are temporary and natural, causing no harm.
