Catnip only effects 50-70% of cats, which I found interesting. I always thought ALL cats reacted to it.
Even since finding out that organic capnip existed, I’ve switched right over to it and the reaction from my cat is still just the same and just as fun! Something about it having the USDA label of being organic makes it seem safer, though. Even though I’ve never had a cat react negatively to the stuff.
There’s even products out there that help you grow your own catnip! Who knew?
Capnip can help greatly when teaching your cat what he can and can’t scratch his nails on. Simply put it in the areas you want your cat to pay attention to and I bet you will see him ALL over those spots over any others you don’t really want him interested in!
