The correct way to use catnip

Catnip is an herb that cats love. It contains an ingredient called "nipozone", which can stimulate catnip receptors and the central nervous system, producing an olfactory stimulation effect. Here’s how to use catnip correctly:

1. Choose catnip of appropriate quality 

   - Make sure the catnip you buy is safe and preferably does not contain any additives. It is different from traditional human mint.

2. How to use catnip

   - Place catnip in a small container with moderate fluctuations, a toy or a cat climbing frame where cats can approach and touch it, so that cats can study and play independently. If your cat doesn't like toys, you can just scatter catnip on the ground and let your cat sniff and play with it freely.

3. Pay attention to the frequency and time of use

   - The effects of catnip sometimes vary depending on factors such as the cat’s gastrointestinal digestion speed, sensitivity, and mental status. It is necessary to ensure that the frequency and time of use do not affect the health and activity of the cat. It is recommended to control the time and frequency of use to a certain extent.

4. Pay attention to storage methods

   - Catnip is easily susceptible to moisture or mold, so be sure to store it in a dry and ventilated place. If it needs to be stored for a long time, it is recommended to place catnip in an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing moisture and bacteria in the air.

In general, catnip can provide cats with an olfactory and visual experience stimulation, soothe the cat's mood, relieve the cat's stress, and also help develop the cat's sports, intelligence and social abilities. Of course, you should seek advice from professional veterinarians and other personnel before use to ensure the safety, health and disease management of your cat.
