Catnip is used to improve the mood of the cat, often replacing pheromones. It usually lasts about 20 minutes and the cat's reactions can be two, either total relaxation or excitement. It stimulates attention and play, attracting it to toys or objects or places on which it is applied.
By ingesting catnip, the cat does not induce euphoria but becomes an excellent sedative. It can also be used for stomach problems and intestinal gas, giving immediate relief and well-being to the cat.
Catnip (Nepeta cataria) blooms in summer until the first cold weather, with spikes of blue and lilac flowers. It is found on dry and well-drained soil. In addition to cats, bees also love its smell and pollen, while it is very unpleasant to the much-feared mosquitoes, thus becoming a natural insecticide.
It is a plant that resists the winter and can be planted in our homes, in a pot on the balcony or terrace, while in the hills or mountains it grows naturally.
It is increasingly easy to find products, games or cat attractants based on catnip on the market. On the site you can find some of these products, including catnip in a jar or games with catnip inside, which can be used as a game or snack, offering two benefits with a single product.
