Catnip:

Catnip or Catmint is a perennial herb of the mint family best known as a stimulant for cats. Cats are attracted to catnip mainly due to a compound called nepetalactone. It grows in Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South-East Asia.

The Indian variety of Catnip, Nepeta Hindostana that grows in the lower Himalayas is one of the most potent catnip varieties due to the geography and the climate of the region. Catnip is not only a great stimulant for cats it has immense health benefits for humans as well. 

A few things to note about catnip:

• Response to catnip is hereditary; about 70 to 80 percent of cats respond to catnip
• Catnip generally does not affect kittens until they are about six months old and begin to reach sexual maturity

Cat toys - they’re attractive, they’re fun, and well, they sometimes excite the hooman more than the cat. Every cat has a favorite set of toys, be it balls, feather toys, squeaky toys, interactive wands etc. The best way to know your cats favorite toys is to allow them to choose which they’d like to play with - cats that have a high prey drive prefer chasing, pouncing, and running, and enjoy balls, feather toys, cat trees, agility courses, and treasure hunts. Contrarily, cats that enjoy focus over play, enjoy interactive toys, puzzles, scent work and so on. It is always best to give your cat a mic of both types of toys, i.e. one that exercises the body and one that challenges the brain. Most teaser cat toys that are bright and/or emit sounds that mimic sounds of prey, are loved by curious kittens since their ears are very receptive to new sounds, especially high-pitched ones. As is mental and physical exercise, so is relaxation - matatabi and catnip toys are increasingly popular for their benefit to a cat’s emotional well-being.
