Catnip oil comes from the leaves of the catnip plant, by extracting the essential oil that is produced in the upper layer of the plant. This is a treat for cats, and you and your feline friend can have hours of (often) silly fun. It can also be used to soothe and relax your pet. You will also find that catnip is an excellent training tool - you can use it to get your cat used to its bed or to get it near the scratching post - this is quite useful if you don't want anything to happen to that leather couch you have!
What's more, you can apply some catnip on a toy to encourage your pet to have some exercise. Your cat with have hours of fun with a favorite toy - tossing it, biting and licking it, as well as chasing it about. This may prove handy for those who are not that mobile but still want to give their cats some exercise.

Catnip oil is essentially harmless to cats, but people will attest that it makes some cats crazy and silly! Some will even say that the oil is some sort of aphrodisiac. Cats who get a whiff of catnip may sometimes run around the room, pretending to play with an unseen friend. They may also endlessly chew, lick and rub their cheeks on the very place that catnip has been applied. They can also lie on their backs with paws extended. Or, they may appear lethargic, dreamy and sleepy and may lie motionless for quite a while.
Whatever your cat's reaction is with catnip oil, one thing's for sure - it will not just entertain and keep your cat pleasantly occupied - it will entertain you as well. Yes, you will also enjoy your cat's silly antics! A word of warning, though. If you find that your cat exhibits aggressive behavior after you apply catnip oil to their toys, look for alternatives such as valerian-sprinkled or honeysuckled-infused toys.
