What does catnip do to cats​

Catnip is a mild tranquilizer for cats, and scientific use of catnip can help relieve anxiety, promote digestion, increase exercise, and repel mosquitoes.

Catnip is an herb that releases thujone lactone, a substance that stimulates cats to release pheromones. When a cat is stimulated by catnip to release pheromones, the body will show signs of generalized weakness, intoxicated consciousness, and repeated rolling on the floor. At this time it will make the cat feel relaxed, relieve the cat's stress stimulation, and at the same time can better enhance the relationship between the owner and the cat.

Relieve the cat's anxiety

As a mild tranquilizer, catnip can soothe your cat's anxiety, allowing your cat to relax, stay calm and no longer feel nervous or anxious. It is also effective in reducing cat anxiety when used during estrus.

Promotes digestion in cats

Catnip can promote digestion in cats, relieving them of the pain caused by flatulence and stomach pain. It can also stimulate the cat's appetite to a certain extent, which is suitable for cats with a poor appetite.

Increase Cat Exercise

Catnip also has a stimulating effect on cats, which will make cats excited and running and jumping, which can increase the activity of cats, which is beneficial to the health of cats.

Repels mosquitoes

The thujaplicin contained in catnip has a good mosquito repellent effect and is a highly effective mosquito repellent, which can protect cats from mosquito bites to a certain extent.

Note: Do not overfeed your cat catnip or your cat may get over excited and hurt itself.
