Catnip for cats is not all that new, even if it was only recently that the word "catnip" hit the mainstream. In fact, it is probably because of the popularity of the catnip oil that it made its way into the cat world. Basically, catnip is an evergreen plant. Specifically, this plant is Nepeta cataria, which is actually a perennial plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae). It is native to Eurasia and Europe but now grows wild in North America as well as throughout the tropics, roads and railways.

Cats have been hunting down this plant for centuries, and one of their favorites has been Nepeta cataria. They make a great scent combination for cats, since the leaves of this plant are aromatic, sweet smelling with a very pleasant smell. In addition, it also has a sweetish bitter taste which is not common in many other plants. The taste is so different from the others that it has the potential to be quite addictive and it is also very popular with humans as well. However, cats are not the only animals who enjoy the plant. Humans and other mammals that smell it (in the case of cats) love it as well. And in some cases, cats enjoy licking themselves while the scent lingers.

Catnip for cats is now readily available in various sources, but you can get the best results with a quality product that contains high-quality herbal extracts. The good news is that it is not hard to find these products, but it does require some effort. Some of the better sources of catnip for cats include pet shops and online pet shops. Make sure you know what you are getting before buying! And remember: cats really do enjoy catnip!
