Is catnip a pheromone(excuse my lack of knowledge…meow:3)?
I got catnip on a bottle which I spray, my cat goes crazy when she smells it, start biting where i sprayed and lick it…kinda like Turn Up The Heat…RAWR!
It might mimic a pheromone or something… be quite close molecularly to a cat phero. Oh, there you go, it says in the Wikipedia article that it does… Well, it is Wikipedia, anyone can edit it, so take it with a grain of salt, but it sounds plausible I guess.
I noticed some cats don’t go for it much while others as you say go absolutely mental for the stuff.
says it is taken in via the feline VNO, a pheromone receptor in many mammals, debatable whether the human VNO plays a role in pheromone activity…
