Catnip, also known as catnip or Nepeta cataria, is a plant in the mint family that causes a peculiar reaction in cats. Its effect is due to a substance called nepetalactone, which stimulates the nervous system of felines, generating behaviors such as euphoria, relaxation or increased activity.

Some cats rub against the plant, chew on it, or lick it, while others may become more playful and active. However, not all cats react to catnip, as their sensitivity to this plant is genetic.

It is commonly used to stimulate play, relieve stress, or facilitate cat training. Do you have a cat and want to try catnip with it?
