Catnip, Valerian Root or Honeysuckle?

So, you want to spoil your kitty and want to buy something special for him. Probably, you have heard a lot about ensue of catnip on cats and want to try it. Yes, the excitement that comes with this feline's beloved treat has your cat bouncing off walls, rolling colse to like a ball, playing like he is a kitten again. When cats sense the bruised leaves or stems of catnip, they may roll over it, paw at it, chew it, lick it, leap about and purr, or heavily salivate. Some will growl, meow, scratch, or bite the hand holding it. Some cats will eat dried catnip (Often, eating too much can cause cats to be overtly aggressive, typically making them hiss.) The ensue of catnip on a cat can last somewhere between two and fifteen minutes. This is a decent estimate of practice and using catnip can help to improve behaviour problems. So, catnip doesn't only make your cat happy, but it is a very good practice for lazy cats and a big help for pet owners in behavior improvement.

But the truth is - not all cats react the same way to the catnip! About two thirds of cats are susceptible to catnip. Some cats are not affected by catnip at all! If your cat is one of "two thirds" - try valerian root or honeysuckle. The valerian root and honeysuckle are known for the same behavioral effects they have on cats. But which one will work? Don't spend money on Catnip toys or valerian root spray, pieces or spray of honeysuckle, or anything else! When you go to your local pet store make sure to take some toys with you from home. Mark each toy down (v - for valerian root, h - for honeysuckle, c - for catnip). Ask for the sample spray on each toy. Next time you will know "what flavor" to purchase for your beloved puny buddy. You can find many distinct types of scented toys, scratching posts, beds, and sprays. Now you know what to buy and most importantly, you are the best owner a cat could have! Your kitty will love you more than ever before!
