Catnip toys are good for cats, as they encourage healthy exercise and play. Catnip is a non-toxic, non-addictive herb, and most cats respond to it quite well. However, kittens under 6 months and some adult cats may not respond to catnip at all.
Cats should play with catnip toys for as long as they like, unless they seem too rowdy, overstimulated, or aggressive. Luckily, the effects of catnip usually only last for around 10-15 minutes, and cats will usually leave their catnip toys alone after the euphoria wears off. Of course, every cat is different, and you should never leave your cat unattended with toys of any type for too long.
You can give your cat a catnip toy every day, but giving catnip too often may result in desensitization. Most experts recommend giving cats catnip toys just a few times a week to keep things exciting.
Some catnip toys are refillable, while others are not. Look for catnip toys made with special refillable pouches and remember to replenish your kitty's toys regularly.
