Cats are much more free to follow their noses and they've been shown to investigate several hundred odors each hour. And smells can sometimes take them to a drug-fueled gathering. You can detect the scent from catnip in just one part in a billion. Just a few bites of this mind-altering plant, 24 is under its alluring spell.  Its volatile oils imitate sexual hormone and cause a potent reaction in its brain. 8 out of 10 adult cats find it totally seductive and the strange response is inherited. Even big cats such as leopards and tigers react in the same intoxicated wave. For cats, catnip may be a recreational drug but it's totally harmless, although there are always some overindulge(nt). It's not all peace and love. Cats are solitary by nature and don't like shearing. After about 10 minutes, the cats come back down to earth.
