Catnip has a dual effect on cats: when ingested, its nepetalactone content releases calming endorphins, making cats feel content. However, the smell typically triggers hyperactivity.
Some cats seem to have a preference for the comforting effects of their toys, particularly when they are stressed, rather than seeking out catnip's direct effects.
Fresh catnip is significantly more potent than dried, and it's essential to use it sparingly to avoid stomach issues in cats. The effects can last only 10 minutes.
A small proportion of cats do not react to catnip at all; for them, it may simply be just another herb, lacking the stimulating impact.
