Catnip and Cat Grass 

Catnip is a perennial herb in the mint family with a leafy green appearance. Catnip is used to target feline receptors in their brain, releasing “happy” endorphins. Catnip effects usually last only around 10 to 15 minutes before wearing off. 

Treat your cat to catnip and irresistible cat grasses that not only provide them with healthy greens, but encourage exercise. A member of the mint family, catnip is a natural treat cats love. And cat grass, which is often made of rye, oat or wheatgrass, can help keep them from eating your houseplants – which may be toxic to cats and kittens. And although your cat could eat outdoor grass, it often contains chemicals that can be harmful to your kitty, so it's best to keep an indoor garden of cat grass. 

Your cat may enjoy dining on wet and cat dry foods that are rich in protein, but there’s nothing like catnip and cat grass when it comes to a good snack. Cats enjoy chewing on grass, but there are also many health benefits associated with catnip. Catnip and cat grass can aid in digestion and hairball control, while providing nutrients that are not usually a part of their normal carnivorous diet like vitamins and minerals your cat may be lacking. 

Cat grass is also a natural laxative in helping your cat pass hairballs through their digestive system. Cat grass also serves as a great alternative to having houseplants, which could be toxic to cats that consume it. Simply place cat grass near your cat’s food bowl so they cannot miss it.
