Episode description
This week we talk about Catnip. It isn't the rough street drug we thought it was; instead, it's a plant that cats naturally like! Listen as we discuss the effects of catnip on cats behaviorally, what it does to their brains, and perhaps what the human equivalent is regarding catnip's effects on felines.
