Is it safe for a VERY young kitten to play with catnip toys?
I’m scared to let my little guy play with them yet! He’s really young, still being bottle fed and starting to eat a little dry food when i moisten it in warm water. Will catnip affect his growth or personality if he gets exposed to it? thank you so much I appreciate any info on catnip.
i didn’t know they didn’t react to it until they’re a couple of months old. thanks you guys!
Truth be told, kittens don’t start to react to catnip until they are approximately 4-6 months in age. Additionally, the reaction to catnip is from the cat smelling “nepetalactone” (a compound found in catnip). This reaction is genetically inherited from your cat’s parents and only about 1/2 to 3/4 of all cats have a reaction to catnip at all! The playfulness of a kitten that is playing with a catnip toy has nothing to do with the catnip itself – it is just being it’s playful, silly kitten self. Catnip will not affect your kitten’s growth in anyway, and there have been no studies that I’ve found that confirm that the ingestion of catnip causes any major problems (the extra fibre may result in a larger bowel movement though!). No need to be scared about letting “your little guy” play with the toys – just sit back and enjoy!
