The way he sprawled out into the catnip 🤣
Cats are drawn to catnip because it contains a compound called nepetalactone that triggers a response in their sensory system. When cats smell catnip, the compound binds to receptors in the nose and stimulates behaviors linked to pleasure and excitement. This can result in rolling, rubbing, purring, or bursts of playful energy.
The reaction to catnip is genetic and not all cats are affected by it. Kittens usually do not respond until they are a few months old, and the effects typically last only a short time. After exposure, cats often become temporarily immune to its influence, which helps explain why catnip remains novel and enjoyable rather than overwhelming.
