Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Catnip Cravings

This peculiar herb can turn even the most mild-mannered cats into energetic bundles of joy. The culprit behind this is Nepetalactone, the chemical found within catnip that triggers the brief but peculiar response seen in cats.

It is believed to stimulate the same brain areas as pheromones do. This explains why your cat may roll around in it or even try to nibble on it. Catnip is non-addictive and harmless, allowing your feline companion to enjoy the experience without any worries.
