Crazy for Catnip!
What is it about this plant from the mint family that drives our cats wild?
Catnip contains nepetalactone, an oil that triggers pheromone receptors in most cats. This reaction generally gives cats (even big cats like lions and tigers) a feeling of complete bliss! That’s why you may notice your feline friend get more excited about a toy containing catnip than others.
Nepetalactone also repels mosquitoes, roaches, and other nuisance insects! When steeped into a tea, catnip even has human benefits such as treating nausea and headaches.
The Folly Road Animal Hospital has new catnip infused toys in stock!
Stop by the clinic today for a fun treat for your kitty.
Happy weekend, FRAH Family!
