It’s hard to tell who’s having more fun, the person blowing the bubbles or the cat popping them. Simply dip the wand into the bottle and stir gently. Next, take the wand back out and blow bubbles in your cat’s general direction. Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a natural herb that attracts and stimulates cats, causing active, playful behaviors and overt signs of happiness and relaxation. About 65% of cats respond to catnip, the degree of sensitivity varying between individuals. If your cat likes catnip, they will start showing it when they are a couple of months old.
