About Catnip
Catnip is used in cat treats and enrichment products as an aromatic stimulant rather than a nutrient, helping attract cats to toys or encourage play and occasional eating. It has negligible nutritional value; the active compound nepetalactone triggers behavioral responses in many adult cats (kittens often unresponsive), is generally safe in small amounts but can cause gastrointestinal upset if overconsumed, and is commonly avoided in pregnant animals — consult your veterinarian if concerned.
