Tabby James Catnip Regular Cut (0.6 oz)

How do I use it?
Use it for training, filling toys, helping your cat acclimate to new things, or just sprinkle it in kitty’s favorite place for a nice natural look and the happiest cat.

How often should I give my cat catnip or valerian root?
You can indulge your cat with a little catnip or valerian root joy once a day or once a week - as much as you’d like! The excitement from every new pinch of catnip lasts about 10 - 15 minutes before your cat’s senses become overwhelmed and the herb loses its effectiveness. Give your cat some time between doses to wind down so he can fully enjoy every last bit.

Will my cat overdose on catnip?
Technically, no. Most cats seem to sense when they’ve had enough, and they stop on their own. Still, as with all things in life, too much of anything can be bad. On very rare occasions some cats may cough up a hairball if they come into contact with too much catnip, or vomit if they’ve eaten too much of it. If your cat has never had catnip before, we suggest you introduce it slowly in incremental proportions. If you’re not sure about anything or have specific concerns, check with your vet.

What is Catnip?
Catnip is a member of the mint family, and cats go wild for it. Smelling or tasting even a little bit of the oil in catnip turns even older cats into playful kittens.

Why do cats like catnip?
No one really knows! Catnip contains nepetalactone, which emulates reactions typically produced by pheromones, though no one understands exactly why this happens. All we know for sure is that just a whiff of catnip makes cats happy and sends them rolling and jumping around in a state of euphoria.

My cats are fine without catnip or valerian root, why do I need it now?

What if catnip doesn't work for my cats?
Catnip doesn’t work on every cat. Catnip sensitivity is an inherited trait, and about half of all cats don’t carry the gene. Because of this we can’t guarantee that catnip will have an effect on your cat, but we suggest giving it a go to find out!

Can I give catnip to a kitten?
