Catnip — ‘happy hour’ for cats

Catnip can trigger a sort of “high” in cats, which can help reduce stress and make them playful. Every cat reacts differently, and about 30% of cats aren’t affected at all. Try catnip as part of your cat’s environmental enrichment and before potentially stressful situations, like a vet visit (Tip #42) or holiday parties. You can buy it in the store or, you can easily grow this herb yourself (don’t worry, it’s legal in all 50 states!).
