So, I was at Wal-Mart and I saw a little bag of catnip. In the past, Felix had some but I don't think I crushed it so it never interested him much. I bought the little bag of catnip today, put some in my hands and rubbed it up to "activate the herbs". Felix went MAD. I haven't seen him so excited for anything since... ever.
Then, Smokey came and she went MAD too. They both started biting my hands (which hurt really badly. Smokey almost broke my flesh).
Hazel was hiding and I couldn't get her out to have a try so I crushed some up and blew it in her face. She didn't do much but Smokey and Felix went after her because she smelt like catnip.
I also rubbed it on a new carpet I bought for them and also in their fur.
I wanted to know if this will help Hazel to socialize even more. She has made such great progress and I've tried to find a home for her but I've exhausted all possible options and no one wants her. She now comes out in the open to eat and she also relaxes in the open. I can walk up to her and she won't run away. I can rub her head (but only while she's eating).
How will catnip help to improve all my cats behaviour and possible help them to get along?
