Why do cats love catnip?

Asked by zstaciez about 1 year ago, 8 answers.

Is it really like a drug for them? When I give it to my cats, they really get weird. Does it have the same effects on them that certain green plants have on people?

canibous sativa is a drug to us...( marajuna)
and catnip is a drug to cats( it had about the same effects... just not as serious)

It's like kitty pot. It makes them high. They go crazy if they have catnip.

it alerts all there senses so they are hyper - aware of everything and there are so many thoughts going on it makes them a little spazzy. and then it makes them like kittens and all they want to do is play. it's so funny.
