Did you know catnip actually causes a cat to produce the same type of hormone that is produced during an orgasim? Essentially a cat is having an orgasim when they use catnip.
It is not possible for a cat to overdose on catnip. In fact it is good for their digestion. Just make sure you use a quality catnip and not one with fillers.
Also mint is a nice alternative.

No they cannot overdose on catnip, but if you give a cat too much of it all the time, they can sometimes get bored with it and it won't have the same effect.

No. Catnip can sometimes make cats very aggressive. If that were the case it should not be used with them. Mostly the cats sort of chill out and have a wonderful relaxed time.

I had catnip spray and cat nipbuds I sprayed their house with the spray and sprinkled the buds on the top... My cat was walking around like he was drunk, then started to what looked like a siezure. I brought her to the vet he said she was fine, I told him about the cat nip and he said it probably didn't harm her but not a good idea to over do it either next time

if you give them catnip drops to eat then inhave known one of my cats to be sick. but i don't think it could cause any serious harm. catnip is only a herb and isn't poisonous. but it's fun to watch the cat go nuts with the catnip spray! all cats love it

Probably, although I think most cats have the ability to walk away when they've been spaced out enough, no matter how much 'nip you throw on them...

No, my cat has never ODed...and she is the Queen of katnip....I usually ask her if she is digging to China as she attempts to tunnel through the carpet with her front paws...thank goodness she is de-clawed.!!
