Why do cats roll when they eat mints?
Catnip is a kind of herbal medicine, which smells very cold. Dry this plant, grind it into powder and put it in a cat toy. You will see that the cat is crazy! Cat friends call catnip "cat medicine". Catnip is the English name of catnip. About 50% cats are interested in the smell of this grass leaf and like to scratch and bite, but this does not mean that cats must eat catnip to stay healthy. In fact, catnip is a plant that can cause hallucinations. Some cats will cause temporary (5- 15 minutes) behavior changes after eating, such as sneezing, chewing, rubbing, rolling, meowing, talking and so on. Some cats chase imaginary mice after eating catnip, while others sit there in a daze. These behaviors will not cause any harm, and Cinnamomum camphora will not be addictive. In a word, catnip has no substantial help to the health of cats.

The effect of catnip is short-lived, neither addictive nor side effects. About 70% of cats react to the smell of catnip. When they get a toy or catnip grass with catnip, they will rub their heads on it, then roll around in a daze, even drool and lick catnip. But it won't be long before I suddenly wake up. I seemed embarrassed by my gaffe just now, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
