Catnip can be used on cats that are two months old, but it is generally not recommended to use it too much too early. Because catnip can stimulate cats and make them excited, causing them to act like a baby, jump up and down, and collapse to the ground. If cats are given too much catnip too early, it will easily weaken the cat's sensory nerves. Therefore, it is recommended that owners consider using catnip on cats after they are 6 months old.
The consequences of kittens eating catnip in one or two months
If cats in this age group eat a small amount of catnip, there is usually no obvious effect, and it usually only increases the cat's excitement. However, if a cat accidentally eats too much catnip, it may cause the cat to have an accelerated heart rate, a large increase in oral secretions, and continuous excitement. If a cat is sexually excited for a long time, it is recommended to take it to a pet hospital for treatment in time to promote metabolism and relieve the cat’s symptoms.
2. Catnip is suitable for cats of all sizes
Catnip is suitable for cats over 6 months old. Use with caution during pregnancy and lactation and for cats under 2 months old. Catnip can not only make cats excited and intoxicated, but also clean the cat's mouth, help the cat expel hair balls, soothe the cat's mood, and regulate the intestinal tract. However, it should also be noted that catnip cannot be used in large amounts for a long time, otherwise the cat will lose interest. It is recommended to use it 2-3 times a week.
3. How often to feed catnip
Catnip mainly makes cats feel illusive and soothes their nerves. Under normal circumstances, it will return to normal after 5-15 minutes. Although it is safe and non-toxic, it should not be used frequently, otherwise the cat will easily lose interest. It is recommended not to exceed once a week, and the dosage should be controlled each time to avoid overfeeding, which may cause difficulty in breathing.
