Now, I am well aware that cats usually love catnip but it’s just like alcohol. You want to drink it because it’s fun but then you regret it the morning after when you’re puking your guts out. With catnip, it’s a bit different. Cats just go haywire when they take a little too much.
And the following cats are definitely going haywire. Now to get into some science. You see catnip is closely related to mint but unlike mint, it has a chemical known as nepetalactone which only affects cats. They will become totally wild if they sniff and the opposite will happen if they lick it up. Let’s just say it’s not a fun experience for the humans who have to clean up the mess after.
Just scroll on below and take a look at what I’m talking about.
