Feline frenzy
“Are you a cat or a dog person?” Feedback is often asked. To which we reply, “no”.
Catty? Perhaps. Yet even our heart is softened by the unbounded joy expressed by a feline rubbing against a catnip plant (
Nepeta cataria, to get in there before our ever-vigilant subeditors do). The suspicion that hardcore drugs are involved has now been confirmed by a study pinning down how nepetalactol, an organic compound first isolated from catnip, activates the feline opioid reward system.
Reiko Uenoyama at Iwate University in Japan and her colleagues reached this conclusion by testing the effect of nepetalactol on 25 laboratory cats, 30 feral cats, an Amur leopard, two jaguars and two Eurasian lynx. We hope the claw marks are on their way to healing. ....

A cat responds to silver vine leaves.Catnip is known to hold a special place in the hearts of felines, who often respond by rubbing their face and head in the plant, rolling around on the ground, then zoning out in a state of intoxicated repose.
But the biological mechanisms by which it works its magic, and whether it confers any additional benefits to cats, had remained unanswered questions until now.
An international team of researchers published a study in
Science Advances on Wednesday, finding that catnip and
silver vine, an even more potent herb found in the mountains of Japan and China, ward off mosquitoes. ....
