Cats, Cats, Cats......

 Why is it so popular in cats?

Cat Nip is one of those plants that undoubtedly is best known for its effect on all members of the cat family.   It is quite strange to watch the effects of the cat nip on the feline family.  Some people even go as far as saying it is hilarious to watch the felines play amongst the plant.  The stems and the leaves of the catnip plants are usually bruised and crushed whilst the felines are delightfully playing or brushing the plant.   This then releases a volatile oil that has a component of the oil called nepetalactone.   
    
Many people associate the effect of the cat nip on their pets as a natural high or an aphrodisiac effect for their felines.  It is for this reason that many feline toys are filled with dried cat nip, commonly found in pet stores.  

Even better, with the Urban Companions selected range of Cat Toys (see our other listing), you have peace of mind knowing your loved ones toy was hand made and is filled with 100% certified Organic Cat Nip,  NO fillers are added!!  They come in Blue, Pink, Green and Purple.
                       
Most importantly Cat Nip is highly entertaining for both you and your loved companions!

Please note that Cat Nip does not always seem attractive to every single feline... Sometimes (as with all things) there is an exception.  A small percentage of felines do not show interest in Cat Nip.
