Catnip is not effective for all felines. Catnip has an effect on most cats, such as tigers, jaguars, cheetahs, and lynxes, but it has almost no effect on lions. Research shows that only about 50% of domestic cats respond to catnip, and 50% of cats are not interested in catnip. Whether cats can accept this substance is related to the genetic genes in the cat's body. Some cats are just not interested in catnip, which is normal.

Reaction types of cats eating catnip:

1. Complete reaction type: This type of cat will have very cute antics, such as sniffing here and there. Licking, chewing with the mouth (but there is nothing in the mouth), rubbing the face everywhere, rolling or twisting around happily on the ground, some cats will dig holes, hold you with their feet, scratch and itch all over the body. Drooling or meowing happily like drunkenness, and the excitement lasts about 5-15 minutes, and some can last as long as 1 hour.

2. Partial reaction type: The reaction is not so obvious and the excitement lasts relatively short.

3. Non-responsive type: Some cats have no reaction to catnip, such as kittens less than three months old, cats who are too nervous, and cats who are naturally not interested in catnip. s cat.
