At last, Spring is officially here. Want to give your cat, and likely neighborhood cats, a special treat? Plant a patch of catnip or catmint. For your indoor-only cat, cut and bring in handfuls of greenery often. (Outdoor cats will have no trouble finding this exceptional treat on their own. Be prepared for regular visitors enjoying your hospitality.) The non-harmful effects of catnip only last up to 15 minutes – likely followed by a nice relaxing nap. Some cats do not react to this herb at all. Did you know that kittens don’t respond to catnip until they are at least 3 to 6 months old. While it's safe to introduce catnip to kittens, they won't experience the usual effects until they reach that age. Apparently, it is an acquired taste. Happy Spring from the SAFER Kitties!
