Catnip Ban In The United Kingdom

Why does my cat come in the bathroom with me?

He does so because you fascinate him and he tries to understand you! your cat loves the routine, and nothing pleases him more than to share yours.

Should I give my cat catnip?

Like other mints, catnip likes to grow in full sun, but it can tolerate partial shade. The catnip plants are drought resistant, which makes the plants low maintenance, and do best in well-drained soil. Planting catnip in clumps makes a nice effect in the landscape. You’ll need to space your catnip plants 18-20” apart to give the plants enough room to grow to full size. You can mix catnip in with other perennials like echinacea, make it part of an herb garden, or add it to a pollinator-friendly garden space.

The discussion on whether giving catnip is ethical has been an ongoing one on social media and other websites. On reddit, for example, one person commented, think of it as your cat going out for a few beers after work. to that, another reader from an alcoholics anonymous family responded, asked whether it was ethical to give someone a drug in an otherwise substance-free home. I asked the nonprofit people for the ethical treatment of animals where they stand on this issue.

Catnip is a bizarre phenomenon for a few reasons. It’s the only recreational drug we routinely give to animals, and though it basically makes them freak out — rolling on the ground, drooling, and mashing their face into wherever the catnip was sprinkled — it has essentially no effect on us.

Tories to ban Catnip.

A letter sent to Government, politicians have been trying for years to ban Catnip.

Dear david cameron,
There are many reasons why the psychoactive substance bill is flawed, but the fact that it would defacto ban the selling of catnip, bought by many cat owners for recreational use by cats, is the last straw. As catnip can be smoked by humans and is reported as having a calming effect, it would fall under this legislation and be banned from being sold on the high street. Does this mean it would be regulated and our cats would need vet prescriptions for it? if so will government cover the cost so catnip is available to all cat owners? would people be still be allowed to grow catnip in their gardens or will they now face police raids if they do? has the world gone mad?.
