Catnip and other Herbs
When cats smell catnip, nepetalactone binds to receptors in their nasal tissue, sending signals to the brain that trigger various behaviors. These can range from hyperactivity and playfulness to relaxation and affection.
Caring for Feral Cats and Strays
Taking the decision to care for a feral cat, or a stray cat as we know them, is a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly. It can be a hard, long term commitment, but if you are an experienced cat owner you can find some real reward in taking in a stray.
What is catnip, and what does it do to cats?
Catnip, in responsive cat species, will usually stimulate some form of hyperactivity, particularly if incorporated into a cat toy or scratching post. This typically will last between five and ten minutes. Cat grasses can have a similar effect on your pet.
