7 Proven Benefits of Organic Catnip Powder for Indoor Cats

What Makes Organic Catnip Special?

Not all catnip is created equal. Pure Cat Mint™ organic catnip powder is harvested pesticide-free, hand-dried, and lab-tested for > 0.9 % nepetalactone—the oil that 70–80 % of cats can’t resist. That purity means stronger aroma, longer shelf life, and zero chemical residue.
