100% Pure Organic Catnip
Catnip, a member of the mint family, is a harmless "high" for felines. About 80% of adult cats -- including lions, pumas, and leopards will react to this irresistible, intoxicating, analgesic soporific. In most cats, catnip produces a euphoric feeling that brings out kitten-like playfulness in adult cats. The effect usually lasts from five to fifteen minutes. The tendency to like or ignore catnip is inherited, and it's true that some cats are immune to its influence.
You can offer the catnip loose or put some in a sock and tie a knot at the end. Rub some catnip on scratching posts periodically as well, if you're in the middle of training a cat to use the post. In addition to offering catnip during times of stress or after a particular event, you can use it on a maintenance basis but not more than once a week.
Catnip may cause some cats to act aggressively toward other pets. If you notice your cat showing any type of aggression after giving him catnip, you may want to refrain from using the herb in the future.
