When most people think about catnip, they (rightly) picture tipsy felines rolling around in a flower bed where it’s planted.
More accurately, most people probably don’t think about catnip… But if you did, I’m sure that’s what would pop into your head.
It is true that due to some chemicals contained within the plant, catnip does have a strange effect on many cats (which I’m assuming is where the name comes from). But most leave it at that, and don’t realize that the plant also offers a number of benefits for people.
