Cats Getting Toe Up!

Catnip:
Nepeta cataria ("catnip", "catswort" or "catmint") is mostly used as a recreational substance for feline enjoyment.
Around 2 out of every 3 cats will be affected by the plant, and approximately 2 hours after an exposure, the feline will be sensitive to another dose. Whether it is growing in the wild or harvested and dried, felines will be affected by the plant.
The common behaviors that are observed are: rubbing on the plant, rolling on the ground, drooling, or consuming much of the plant. It is said that felines are affected by the smell of the plant more than anything. Felines have such a strong sense of smell that they can detect the chemical nepetalactone, which is the main active ingredient in Nepeta cataria.

This chemical enters the feline's nose, and produces semi-hallucinogenic effects on the cat.

These cats know how to party!
