For the most part, your cat's loose hair and shedding is only a concern for your furniture, clothes and hoover!

Cat BehaviourAlice Pillin

When your cat sniffs catnip, the nepetalactone chemical stimulates sensory neurons that in turn send signals to their brain’s behavioural centre.

It’s important to know what to look out for when giving catnip to your cat and how to use it for enjoyment but also safely.
