Why not treat your cat to a natural Christmas Present this year from Naturally Animals
Catnip is a member of the mint family and a big favourite with most cats. This is mainly due to the active ingredient of nepetalactone which copies the natural pheromone found in male cat urine. The pheromone reacts with olfactory nerves and may cause playfulness and relaxation. The effects can last for up to 15 minutes. Cats will never overdose on catnip and will walk away when they have had enough.
Catnip is good for:
· Stress and nervousness when chewed
· Stimulating / happy effect when inhaled/ rolled in
May work as insect and flea repellent
Like catnip, peppermint has soothing properties with cats. Peppermint also act as natural flea repellent and so may be beneficial in supporting your cat's flea treatment.
Peppermint has many therapeutic attributes but the main benefit of peppermint is as a digestive aid. Peppermint is also good for:
· Stress and nervousness when chewed
Boredom in cats, especially house cats
Place a little of the dried herbs on a towel and allow your cat the option of smelling, eating or rolling in the herb to release the medicinal properties. Cats are very intelligent and if they do not require the aroma and medicinal benefits they bring, they will not go near the herbs you place in their surroundings. Herbs are also great in a little sock to make as a toy and let your cat have hours of fun. Click here to see full product details.
