Catnip
is best known for its effect on cats which is known as
the "catnip response." Only members of the
feline family respond to this euphoriant which is
genetically determined although about one third of
domestic cats do not react. Once a susceptible cat gets
the scent, the animal goes into uncontrolled antics and
rapture. An old cat is quickly transformed into a frisky
kitten. The effect usually lasts fifteen minutes but may
be prolonged for as long as an hour. The oil contains
nepetalactone which was once used as a lure to trap the
large members of the feline family. All species of cats
react in this way, even lions, tigers, leopards, and
lynxes, but not every individual reacts to it. The
deciding factor is genetic. Fifty to sixty percent of
adult cats show a reaction to catnip. This changes of
behavior of the cats deserve a special caution for some
rare occupations when people have to work close to these
wild animals.
Note:
When
spraying, keep the bottle vertical!
