The effect of Catnip on felines is a hereditary thing and if a mother cat is not interested in Catnip the offspring often will not be either. Catnip tea benefits can do wonders for us humans too!

Cats that are affected will often paw at the plant, roll over it, leap about and purr or even growl and the effects will last up to 2 hours.

Catnip oil is being studied in its ability to repel insects such as mosquitoes and even cockroaches and studies are suggesting it may be up to 10 times more effective in repelling insects in test tubes than the commonly used DEET; however, not as effective when used on skin.
