Why Your Cat Loves Catnip
Catnip is a leafy plant that makes cats go absolutely crazy. They roll around and make noises that you’ve never heard them make before.
The reason for this is that catnip contains nepetalactone. This is an oil that cat noses react to and they feel extreme joy and even hallucinate. Basically, catnip gets your kitty high!

The effects usually last around ten minutes and even big cats like lions and tigers get affected by the plant. If you’re enjoying a drink or two in the evening and wish your cat could join you, catnip is the closest thing to getting your feline friend drunk.
