What is catnip?

Catnip is part of the mint family, which holds over 200 varieties. The leaves of catnip look very similar to your typical mint leaf and grow 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 worn itself out, they’ll start to chill out and settle in for a nice, long catnap.

Organic? Really?  

You betchya! Certified USDA Organic! Plain and simple. 

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.

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 cat’s behavior while they’re enjoying the experience. Some cats can over-exert themselves while on catnip and push themselves too far. Just take it easy the first couple of times till you know what to expect. Overindulgence can happen, but it’s very unlikely 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.

Why did you choose the name Catnip Ninja?

First, we would like to show respect for the Chinese and Japanese cultural roots of the word Ninja and the practice of Ninjitsu. Ninjas are highly trained in martial arts and stealth and we feel like cats can embody these skills, especially when enjoying some catnip.

Where is Catnip Ninja made?

We package and bottle the catnip in Portland, Oregon. We acknowledge that this area is traditionally home to the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes and bands of the Columbia and Willamette regions.
