It is important to note that not all cats respond to catnip alternatives in the same way, and some may not respond at all. Additionally, it is important to monitor your cat’s behavior after introducing any new plant or herb to their diet to ensure that they do not have any adverse reactions. If you have any concerns about your cat’s health or behavior, consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new plants or herbs.
