CATDOLL : Why do cats like to smell catnip?

Catnip contains a substance called nepetalactone, which has a hallucinogenic effect on cats, stimulates the central nervous system of cats, and makes them excited and happy, so cats like catnip very much. After cats smell or eat catnip, they will show different behaviors from usual, such as rolling on the ground in ecstasy, rubbing their heads, etc.

Precautions for using catnip:

1. Dosage: Do not use too much catnip at one time. Just use a little bit that is half the size of your thumb nail each time.

2. Frequency. Do not let cats come into contact with catnip for a long time. Using it too frequently will make it lose its effect on cats.

3. Taboos. Pregnant cats cannot use catnip, as it will cause miscarriage. Kittens cannot use it as it will irritate the respiratory system.
