Announcement    From the creator of The Sky Scratcher comes your cat's latest obsession, Catnip Ninja! The same organic catnip spray we’ve been producing for over 8 years, with a fresh new look. We love cats and know after one spray, they’ll be hooked.

Why catnip? Because it’s an inexpensive treat your cats will love.

What is catnip? Catnip is part of the mint family, which holds over 200 varieties. The leaves of a catnip look very similar to your typical mint leaf and grows just as crazy. Catnip holds an essential oil known as Nepetalactone. Once a cat is introduced to said oil by way of diluted spray or the messier, dry leaf method, your cat will enjoy a euphoric, almost ‘tripping’ like state for 5-15 minutes depending on the dose or exposure. After their first interaction, you’ll understand why cats crave catnip. Usually one whiff and that’s all it takes. Just the smell alone will send them into instant playtime. They’ll become more energetic and add a little pep to their step. After your cat has warn itself out, they’ll start to chill out and settle in for a nice, long catnap.

When should I introduce my fur-baby to catnip? Most experts recommend waiting till about 6 months to a year before introducing catnip into their routine. It’s not the end of the world if they try some before then, just make sure you monitor their behavior. And like all good things, practice moderation. Too much of a good thing could lead to a higher tolerance. Also keep in mind that not all cats will react to catnip. There are a few kitties that don’t feel the effects of catnip. Just the way it goes sometimes.

How much is too much? With the Catnip Ninja Organic Spray, we recommend one to two sprays per ‘session’. Once you’ve introduced your cat to catnip, you’ll get a feeling for how much is too much. It’s highly recommended to monitor your cats behavior while they’re enjoying the experience. Some cats can over exert themselves while on catnip if they push themselves too far. Just take it easy the first couple of times till you know what to expect. Overindulgence can happen, but its very unlike your cat will overdose on catnip. If they do ingest too much of the leafy green stuff, however, they may become sick to their stomach. Trust your parental instincts to know when enough is enough.
