Catnip attracts feral cats. Catnip contains nepetalactone, which can cause nervous excitement in cats and cause them to hallucinate. Nepetalactone has a similar chemical structure to the substance secreted in the urine of estrous female cats. Male cats are more likely to be attracted to catnip than female cats. Sprinkle catnip around your home to attract cats. But not all cats are attracted to catnip, and some cats are not attracted to catnip at all. This may be related to the cat’s genetic inheritance.
