You don't really need to worry about him overdosing on catnip because it's more of an herb than a drug, however, if the cat eats a ridiculous amount of catnip every day, it might affect his nutrition.

Catnip is just a plant dried and crushed to be eaten by cats. It is not a normal food for cats, and is supposed to be like a treat sometimes. It is usually put in toys so cats can play with them. It will not affect his health, but I do suggest you keep it in a high shelf or cabinet and make sure that it is closed at all times unless your letting him eat it or using the catnip for something.

Some cats roll in it, jump at it, etc. Catnip won't harm your cat at all. It won't affect his health and it's perfectly safe. It’s normal for cats to eat catnip.

Catnip is a plant that cats love. They love the smell and the way it tastes so its not unnatural for cats to jump up on counters and eat it. I suggest putting it in a cabinet or putting it in a bag and sealing it shut. Give your kitty catnip about once a day or the effect will wear off. My kitty goes to great lengths to get her bag of catnip too, they know where it is by using there scent. Good luck! Yes thats completely normal and not very unhealthy at all.

"It's believed that cats eat grassy vegetation because it's nature way of supplying cats with the necessary vitamin folic acid that is lacking from their primarily carnivorous (all meat) diet. It also help them cough up unhealthy fur balls." we keep our catnip in the fridge b/c it's the only place my two cats can't get into, but do they ever come running when they hear that little baggy crinkle there’s nothing wrong with eating catnip, but if you’re worried then get him some cat grass instead to satisfy that need. all my cats eat catnip, and they’re fine for it.

It's a volatile turpenoid, and has a specific chemical name: nepetalactone. Nepetalactone is not attractive to all cats; only about 30 to 70 percent of cats are actually attracted to it. But when it works, it really works, appearing to drive cats wild with excitement. First off, I want to let you know that catnip is not a drug; its a perennial herb and a member of the mint family. Cats have a natural attraction to this plant that can result in a mood altering affect. Your cat can become highly active and silly, completely mellow, or she may have no change at all. Your cat may sniff, roll in, or eat catnip. It is perfectly safe and your cat does not have to stop eating catnip. But though still a mystery, the substance that attracts cats has been isolated.

This probably means that you are getting a good grade of catnip, as the reason why you don't see more cats eating catnip is because it is older and dried. But even if this is the case, it's perfectly fine for your cat to eat catnip. It is perfectly healthy and normal for cats to eat catnip.

Pets Anonymous is all you can hope for. He is clearly hooked on the junk..get him to detox asap...lol..I have no idea if catnip is toxic but I think it is funny that he is jonesing for the 'nip'. Try moving the catnip so he can't get to it. Intervention!! Pets Anonymous is all you can hope for.
