Wonder why your cat goes ga-ga over catnip when you first bring it home, but she loses interest after a few days? Nepetalactone, the chemical in catnip that causes euphoria, loses its potency over time when exposed to room temperature. Easy fix: Store it in the freezer!
Did you know? Not all cats get frisky over catnip. In fact, 50% of cats haven’t inherited a sensitivity to nepetalactone, according to the American Chemical Society.
