For one academic year, I went away to school. When I came back, I noticed that there was something off about my cat. I couldn't put my finger on the reason, but I noticed that he was a bit paranoid and before I left, he was always calm and filled with natural energy. I didn't think twice about it and gave him a treat. After I fed him a treat, I read the bag and noticed that the treat had Catnip as one of it's main ingredients. I was furious.
My cat, Wolfy, is only 3 years old. I think he's way too young to be eating Catnip on a regular basis. I would assume catnip is for nonactive cats that are much older and need exercise. Wolfy is so energetic naturally that the extra grass is not needed for him. I weaned him off of the Catnip and he finally went back to normal -- still active.
What's your thoughts about Catnip? Do you think cats of any age should be introduced to Catnip or should there be a reason as to why your cat should use Catnip?
