How to Get Your Cat High

Still wondering if there's any mistake in the title? No! You read right! Cats can be... stoned. The "magic" plant is called "Catnip". Has no equivalent in other languages, but the term can be understood as "cat bite" or "cat grass."

Catnip is a perennial herb of the mint family, with the scientific name "Nepeta cataria". The plant was originally cultivated in Mediterranean soils and now can be found in North America and Canada. In the presence of catnip they behave unexpectedly. Not only have they eaten the plants flower they rub, sniff and chew the plants leafs. Cats are strangely addicted to this stranger herb. It's aromatic oil makes the cats frisky and playful.

How it works
Substance of the plant is "Nepetalactone". The plant can reach four-legged form of living plants, dried leaves or spray. Olfactory apparatus is very sensitive to cats and therefore the plant effect can be achieved even when cats smell some leaflets.
The plant has an effect on your cat for several minutes, helping the pet to become happy, excited, elated, happy, the behavior is different from case to case.
They say having aromatic plant spray can be used by owners to determine the cats to stop scratching furniture. Spray certain areas (the claws a board specially designed for cats, for example) and as quadrupeds will be attracted to these places by giving up bad habits.
Plants can be grown easily in the house, serving cat is when he wants some... Freedom:), also giving up the taste... your pot plants. The plant will have the same effects on cat's owners, they being forced, if you will envy quadrupeds, to resort to less legal herbs:).
