9 l Catnip effect
When cats smell catnip, they jump, roll around, vocalize, and salivate like queens in season (females in heat). This reaction lasts around ten minutes, after which your cat becomes resistant to the catnip effect for about 30 minutes. Catnip sensitivity is hereditary; nearly 70 to 80 percent of cats will exhibit this behavior when exposed to this plant. Catnip has little effect on kittens until they are around six months old and have attained sexual maturity.

Understanding what can give your cat anxiety in the first place is one of the most effective ways for preventing stress in your cat (such as moving to a new house or the adding a new cat to the household). Once you’ve identified potential sources of stress for your cat, you may handle the event or surroundings in a way that helps decrease the chance of your cat suffering.
