I just bought the catnip spray a few days ago along with cat toys. When i reached home, i sprayed the catnip on the cat toys. But my kitten isn't interested at all at the toys. What is wrong?

1) not all cats have the cat nip gene some cats will never have any effects from cat nip.
2) most of the time kittens won't have any effects from catnip till they are 6-9 months old.
so give it a few more months and try again.

Kittens don't show interest in catnip till about 6 months old or more. Try a big cardboard box. My kittens love theirs! The others are also right about not all cats liking catnip. Only a couple of mine really go for it.

Kittens under the age of 3 minths don't get the scent of catnip yet. Give your kitten some time, and she should start reacting to it soon.
Also, 10-30 % of the cat population don't even like catnip, so that is a possobility. But I am sure she will get the hang of it soon. :)

One of my cats loves catnip toys, the other one has no interest in them at all. Different cats like different things.

Well it depends. An older kitten is a lil more responsible and may know what to do (going to the bathroom, eating, behaving) Though they could be playful like a 12 week year old kitten.12 week year old kittens still have some trouble, but they are a lot of fun. If you buy a kitten, ask the workers if they are experienced with going to the bathroom in the litter and other things.

It's too young. They usually don't become interested in catnip till they are about a yr old. I don't know why that is, but it's a fact. I have had cats all my life, and I'm 41 yrs old now.

Hello,
Not all cats are affected by catnip dont worry there isnt anything wrong!
"Young kittens and older cats are less likely to have a reaction to catnip.
Approximately two thirds of cats are susceptible to the behavioral effects of catnip."
Hope this helped, feel freeto email me with any questions!
Kindest regards,
Amanda.

25% of cats do not have the gene that makes catnip so alluring to most cats.

Not all cats respond to catnip. You might have one of those cats that doesn't.
