Catnip is a mint-based herb that is given to cats. It is a non-toxic non-addictive herb that contains a substance called nepetalactone, sensitive to cats’ opioid systems. This causes a euphoric “buzz” in the cats which lasts for around 10 minutes, and you will observe your adorable feline acting peculiarly funny. Nepetalactone also helps in maintaining a healthy digestive tract, by killing insects and mites. The best way to feed your feline children is; dried catnip in little amounts as appreciative treats!
Dosage: Catnip can be given to kittens aged 6 months and older.
Caution: Overdosage can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
