Question 9

What is it that makes cats go crazy for catnip?

Accepted Answer

Catnip contains an essential oil called "nepetalactone" that causes most cats to react similarly to the way cannabis affects humans. When cats inhale, ingest, or rub up against catnip (or a toy containing catnip), it triggers a euphoric reaction that typically results in more playfulness and activity.

That said, roughly 20% of cats do not have the genes that elicit a response to catnip. For this reason, we always recommend trying a small amount at first to see if your cat falls into the "love" or "ambivalence" category.

Question 10

Is it safe to give my kitten catnip?

Accepted Answer

Most cats do not develop a response to catnip until around six months of age. If your kitten is past that window, we recommend introducing a small amount for a brief period of time to see what their reaction might be. Remember, roughly 20% of cats do not react to catnip.

Question 11

Does catnip need to be refrigerated?

Accepted Answer

Catnip toys (once fully dry) and loose catnip in bags need to be kept in an airtight container to maintain its freshness... but beware the curious cat who discovers where you stored it... you might need to resort to the freezer!

Question 12

Is Dr. Daniels catnip organic?

Accepted Answer

Our catnip is 100% pure and natural. This means the soil is strengthened with commercial fertilizers, herbicide use is minimal if necessary, and insecticides are unnecessary given that herbs in the mint family are known to naturally repel insects.

Question 13

What about dogs, can they have catnip too?

Accepted Answer

We've been told by our cat customers that some of their dogs like to play with, and sometimes eat catnip toys. Whether this is an actual reaction to the catnip, or just typical dog/cat rivalry, we'll never know. That said, we do have people who buy catnip for their dogs!
