From what I understand, catnip doesn't make cats "high" so much as it's an aphrodesiac. When I adopted my cat, she used to go absolutely nuts for catnip. It turned out that the shelter's information that she was spayed was wrong, though, and I ended up getting that done. Since then, her reaction to catnip has been much more subdued; she'll roll around in it a few minutes, but then basically settle down and ignore it afterwards.
tl;dr your cat might just not be horny enough to care about catnip
- squarefoot 4y agoFor the record, I tried catnip on most of my cats during the years, and all of them enjoyed it a lot. They were all neutered indoor cats.
