For people who don’t own cats, they may not know anything about catnip, but for those who do, they will have heard a little about it, even if they don’t know much about it. From the name, catnip seems to be a plant that has some kind of effect on cats, and it is true, catnip is a plant that makes cats hallucinate, and generally cat owners will use catnip to improve the mood of cats, so is there any harm to cats? Here we will find out.

Cats are very cold animals, and their moods do not fluctuate greatly, but they have their own emotions, and of course, they cannot be perceived by outsiders, but as cat owners, they can easily perceive them. Usually, catnip is not harmful to cats as long as the frequency and amount of catnip used is not a problem.

So, how should we use catnip so that it does not bring harm to the cat? There are three main points to note: first, do not use catnip frequently to stimulate cats, and only use it once a week at most; second, when there are multiple cats, do not use catnip for these cats at the same time, which will lead to cat fights; third, pay attention to the amount of catnip used, only a pinch at a time. If we strictly comply with these precautions, then catnip will not be harmful to cats, while if we ignore the relevant precautions, then catnip will certainly bring harm to the cat.

In addition, we should also pay attention to the age of the cat when using catnip, if the cat is less than one year old, then do not give it catnip, you can take other measures to improve the mood of the cat, of course, after one year old cat is allowed to use catnip, but we need to always pay attention to the physical state and mental condition of the cat, once found abnormal that should stop using.
