The role of catnip

About 50% of cats are interested in the smell of the grass leaves and like to scratch and bite, but this does not mean that cats must eat catnip to maintain their health. In fact, catnip is a plant that can cause hallucinations. Some cats will cause temporary (5-15 minutes) behavioral changes after eating, such as sneezing, chewing, rubbing, rolling, meowing, and delirium. Some cats will chase
fantasy mice after eating catnip, while others will sit and stare in the air. These behaviors do no harm and catnip is not addictive. In short, catnip on the
cat’s health and no substantial help and harm.
