If a 2-month-old kitten eats a small amount of catnip, there is usually no obvious effect. If a cat accidentally eats too much catnip, it may cause symptoms such as increased heart rate, increased oral secretions, and persistent excitement. Cats under 2 months old are not sensitive to catnip, so there are individual differences in the level of excitement.

It is generally not recommended to let 2-month-old kittens eat catnip. You can wait until the cat is 6 months old before trying catnip. If cats are given catnip too early or too much, it can easily weaken the cat’s sensory nerves. Because the gastrointestinal tract of kittens is not fully developed, eating catnip may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. In addition, not all cats are interested in catnip.
