Struggling to Understand Your Cat’s Behavior? Here’s What You Need to Know

Enjoying Catnip A Lot

Watching a cat become obsessed with catnip is always an entertaining thing but there’s a reason why they’re so attracted to it. This is because there’s a substance called nepetalactone found in the leaves of catnip. This oil is the reason why your cat suddenly gets so much energy and starts going crazy. This substance directly affects the pheromone receptors of your cat and makes it behave like the cat’s in heat. So, your cat might be all over the place and displaying weird gestures. Your cat might sniff the catnip and get so excited that you think there might be something wrong. But that’s not the case and it’s just the effect of the catnip. It makes them happier and more relaxed but some cats end up becoming hyperactive and they might even turn aggressive. It all depends on your cat so if you think she had an unusual reaction to catnip, you should give it to her again.
