What effect does catnip have on cats?

In fact, catnip has three major benefits for cats, and the owner must pay attention to it:

First, relieve the cat's nervous mood;

Second, improve the eating habits of cats;

Third, increase the cat's exercise.

After eating catnip, cats will have sneezing, gibberish and other symptoms, and may also roll on the ground, but the owner need not worry. This is a normal reaction of cats to eat catnip, which is harmless to cats.

So how to use catnip?

First of all, when a cat first arrives in a strange environment, it is inevitable that there will be fear and tension. At this time, the owner can take out a little catnip and put it in the palm of his hand for the cat to lick. This will not only promote the affection between the cat and the owner, but also relax the cat and reduce the tension. And use catnip when the cat is in estrus or bored, and the effect is also good.

Secondly, if the cat has a bad appetite or doesn't like drinking water, then the owner can add a little catnip at a time to stimulate the cat to eat or drink water to alleviate the cat's poor diet.

Finally, some cats are particularly lazy and inactive. The owner can find different places to sprinkle some catnip, and the cat will naturally jump up and down. However, it should be noted that catnip should not be overdone in case the cat falls on itself because it is too high.

In addition, cats love catnip so much because it contains nepetalactone, and cats can't stop. But owners don't have to worry, cats are not addicted, just eat properly.
