Cat Nip/Mint 50g

Catnip, also known as catmint, catwort, field balm, and Nepeta cataria, is a herb of the mint family that is famous for its effect on cats. Catnip contains the chemical compound nepetalactone, which stimulates certain brain chemicals in cats related to mood and happiness.

Catnip is safe for cats and can be used to help cats relax, play, or keep calm. However, too much catnip can cause health problems such as vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, or trouble walking.

Catnip can be used as a training aid to encourage cats to use their litter box, cat bed, or cat flap. It can also be used as a reward when teaching your cat new things.

The effects of catnip vary depending on how it is consumed and are unique to each cat. Some cats may become relaxed and happy, while others may experience a sense of euphoria that manifests as hyperactivity or even aggression. It is important to observe your cat's reaction to catnip and choose rewards wisely, as not all cats like it. Some cats may have no reaction to catnip at all, while others may have a negative response.

Catnip is generally safe for cats and can provide various benefits, including enhancing mood, aiding digestion, and reducing anxiety. However, it's important to monitor your cat's reaction and adjust the amount of catnip provided accordingly.
