What are the effects of catnip on cats?
Catnip actually has three major benefits for cats, which owners should be aware of:
First, it helps relieve the cat's anxiety;
Second, improve the cat's eating habits;
Third, increase the amount of exercise your cat gets.
After eating catnip, cats may sneeze, meow incoherently, or roll around on the ground. However, owners don't need to worry; these are normal reactions to catnip and will not harm the cat. 
So how exactly is catnip used?
First, when cats first arrive in a new environment, they inevitably experience fear and anxiety. At this time, owners can offer a small amount of catnip to their cat in their palm. This not only strengthens the bond between owner and cat but also helps the cat relax and reduce anxiety. Using catnip during a cat's heat cycle or when they are bored is also very effective.
Secondly, if a cat has a poor appetite or doesn't like to drink water, the owner can add a little catnip to each feeding to stimulate the cat to eat or drink, thus alleviating the cat's poor appetite.
Finally, some cats are particularly lazy and don't like to move. Owners can scatter some catnip in places of varying heights, and the cats will naturally jump around. However, it is important to note that catnip should not be given in excess to prevent the cats from falling and hurting themselves because they are too excited.
Additionally, cats love catnip because it contains nepetalactone, a substance they find irresistible. However, owners don't need to worry; cats are not addicted, and moderate consumption can even be beneficial.
