Will cats vomit if I use too much catnip?

Cats generally won’t vomit if they eat too much catnip. Catnip is a plant that can excite cats and has no side effects. However, it is not recommended to give cats too much catnip. If you give too much catnip to your cat at one time, it will over-stimulate the cat’s nerves, which may cause the cat to lose interest in catnip, and may also cause problems with the cat’s respiratory system. It is recommended that cat owners feed them appropriately.

Precautions for giving catnip to cats:

1. Do not feed milk cats. The cats should be fed after they are 8 months old.

2. Pay attention to the appropriate amount of feeding and do not overfeed.

3. If there are multiple cats at home, it is best to isolate them when feeding to prevent them from getting excited and fighting after feeding.

4. Catnip can cause nerve excitement, and pregnant female cats have the risk of uterine contractions and miscarriage, so the use of catnip should be avoided.
