What is catnip?
Catnip is nature’s little green chaos button. It’s an aromatic herb from the mint family that makes cats go delightfully wild. The secret ingredient is a natural compound called nepetalactone — when cats sniff it, their brains light up with pure feline joy. Watching the trip unfold? That’s half the fun.
Is Chaotic Catnip non-GMO?
Absolutely. Our catnip is 100% non-GMO, organically grown right here in the USA, and always from the current year’s harvest. No weird science — just pure, natural chaos straight from the field.
What kind of reaction will my cat have?
Every cat reacts differently. Some go full zoom-mode. Some become stealthy hunters stalking invisible prey. Others flop over, drool, and melt into the carpet in total bliss. However they vibe, it’s always pure entertainment.
Why does my cat act so weird around catnip?
Blame nepetalactone, the magical oil in catnip that cats can’t resist. When it hits their scent glands, it mimics feline pheromones and flips the brain’s “party switch.” Big cats like lions and bobcats react the same way — so your living room just became a mini safari.
Can my cat have too much catnip?
Not really. Cats know their limits — once they’ve had their fill, they’ll walk away to nap it off. Give them a day or two, and they’ll be back for another trip. Is catnip good for my cat? Totally. Catnip gets lazy cats moving and happy cats happier. It’s a safe, natural way to spark play, burn energy, and relieve stress. Just keep it moderate — a spoonful or two at a time is all it takes to flip the switch.
Can I use catnip for more than playtime?
Definitely. Sprinkle it where you want your cat to hang out — on a new bed, a scratching post, or a toy. Catnip turns training into a game. What shouldn’t I do with catnip? Never mix catnip with your cat’s litter. It confuses their instincts, and that’s a messy kind of chaos you don’t want. Keep the fun and the bathroom separate, trust us.
My cat’s already wild — should I even try catnip?
Oh, absolutely. Catnip takes “wild” and adds a remix. Even hyper cats hit a happy crash after a good trip — zoom, flop, and then snooze. It’s the cycle of feline chaos.
How should I store catnip?
Keep it sealed, dry, and away from sunlight — those essential oils are sensitive. A jar, bag, or airtight tin does the trick. Want to really lock it in? The freezer works too. Stored right, Chaotic Catnip stays potent for up to two years.
Why doesn’t my cat react to catnip?
Some cats just don’t have the catnip gene — about 15% feel nothing, especially kittens under six months old. Don’t worry though; we’ve got other tricks. Try blends with silvervine or valerian root — they light up even the pickiest cats.
How can I tell if catnip is good quality?
Look for bright green leaves and a strong, earthy scent. If it smells like old hay, it’s past its prime. Chaotic Catnip is always fresh from the current crop year — bright, aromatic, and bursting with that sweet, chaotic energy cats crave.
