Is the high similar to heroin/morphine etc in humans? Because if it is, then is catnip not addictive to a cat? What if a cat discovers whole fields of the stuff and decided to revel in it until death? It's unlikely but it could happen
- soulofmischief 6y agoA cat is not going to OD on catnip. Also, from the article: "Big or small, the felines surrendered to the substance, rubbing their heads and bodies in the patches for an average of 10 minutes"

- Nursie 6y agoStops having an effect pretty quickly. They'd wander off, then maybe come back later. I've observed mine do that with catnip and silvervine.
- failrate 6y agoAnecdotr: one of our cats, upon presented with unlimited amounts of catnip, consumed it until it became basically K-holed and then refused to touch the stuff for a few years afterwards, suggesting the equivalent of a hangover.
- minitoar 6y agoLol we’ve all been there, if only eating too many sweets.
- wasdfff 6y agoMy parents grow large bushes of catnip. The cat walks up to the bush, chews it some, and passes out in the bush. Seems to enjoy himself.
