Cats taking a trip on the nip – this will be the funniest thing you will see all day!
Having a small bag of green powder on hand in your home could mean two different things depending on if you own a cat or not. If you own a cat, this powdered herb is very likely catnip. The properties of catnip are such that they cause two very different reactions in cats, depending on if they sniff it or ingest it. This magical dust for cats turns your domesticated feline into a wildcat when he gets a good whiff of it. When your cat licks it he is naturally sedated and melts into a puddle of fluff.
Catnip is derived from an herb called Nepeta cataria, which is related to mint. This herb has a compound called nepetalactone that causes the response from cats’ pheromone receptors. In non-technical terms, it makes them crazy high when they smell it and stoned when they ingest it. Upon ingestion, it acts more as a sedation. Though these are common effects of catnip, every cat responds differently to this wondrous little herb whether it is growing fresh in your garden or dried.
