Cat collars: a stylish reflection of your cat's personality, as well as a practical and important accessory. Most collars are designed with bells in order to protect wildlife, and have a space for tags to help with identification. Between keeping your cat safe and adding a bit of personal style, collars can be important to get right. 

When your cat sniffs catnip, the nepetalactone chemical stimulates sensory neurons that in turn send signals to their brain’s behavioural centre.

Generally, catnip is non-toxic and safe for cats, though it’s best to give out in small doses. Not every cat will have the same reaction, and some may not have any reaction at all. It’s important to know what to look out for when giving catnip to your cat and how to use it for enjoyment but also safely.
