Due to popular demand, you can now treat your kitty friend to Kat's home-grown catnip. It’s chronic for cats.
Catnip is named due to the effect it has on felines – even lions and tigers have been recorded partaking in the occasional wake and bake. Cats will eat and roll around on catnip to achieve a ‘high’ that will last between 2 and 20 minutes.
While blazed, your cat may become hyper, or they may chill out and relax. The exact effects seem to differ from cat to cat. Once the buzz wears off, cats will then have a natural period where they will not react to catnip.
Up to 1 in 3 cats may not respond to catnip. In testing, cats previously thought to have been immune have shown interest in Kat’s Nip. I suspect this is because the leaves are freshly dried, and provided as whole leaves (not crushed).
Crushing the leaves and flowers releases the essential oils, and this is where the active ingredient is found. When you buy crushed catnip products, the essential oils have already been released, making it more or less cabbage.
This may account for why your cat hasn’t been interested in the past: you haven’t provided the dank dank.
But Kat’s Nip is tried and tested on several random kiwi kitties. At least 6 instances of cats attacking the mail pile have been recorded so far. If your furry pal is going to react to catnip, they will react to this. This is the good stuff ;)
