<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > catnip that confuses cats</h1>
Many people have heard of catnip and know that it is a plant that cats like.
Catnip, Chinese officially known as Vitex and scientifically known as Nepeta cataria, is a perennial herb of the genus Vitex in the family Apiaceae. Cataria comes from the Latin word cat Catus, meaning "cat's favorite plant".
Although somewhat similar in appearance to the true Mint Mentha (Mint genus of the family Labiaceae), they are purely distant relatives.

Long ago, it was discovered that catnip can have some strange effects on cat behavior. Because it is rich in aromatic essential oils, catnip will emit a strong and complex fragrance just by being slightly touched, and whenever the cat smells this taste or eats a few bites, some will become extremely excited and roll around, and some will squint their eyes and become extremely intoxicated, and various reactions are different, but in short, sweep away the image of high and cold on weekdays, and the previous judgment of two cats.
A cat that has finished sucking catnip
Catnip can cause all kinds of crazy strange reactions to cats because it contains a chemical, nepetalactone, which stimulates the cat's brain and causes the cat to behave like "drug".
This is somewhat similar to how humans feel about smoking drugs like marijuana. The biggest difference, though, is that this effect of catnip on cats is not addictive, and cats mostly return to normal after 5-15 minutes after smelling it, and lose interest in the plant, the longest addiction time usually does not exceed an hour, and cats re-interest in catnip at least 2 hours after re-enthusing them once.
In addition to exciting the cat, catnip has two other effects.
One is to repel mosquitoes. Wattle lactone has the effect of repellent mosquitoes, cats like to rub on catnip, rolling behavior may be to transfer wattle lactone to the fur to achieve the effect of repellent mosquitoes.
Second, catnip can also be used as food, which is rich in fiber can promote the intestinal peristalsis of cats, or stimulate the discharge of cat hair accumulated in the stomach of cats.
Naturally harmless and can make the usual high-cold cats excited, it is naturally loved by cat owners. So if you like cats, you can plant a few catnip trees at home, which will attract a large group of cats. In addition to growing catnip, many cat toys will also add catnip ingredients to attract cats' love. A search for a treasure, there are a variety of catnip related products for sale.
Of course, not all cats will do this, and some cats do not react to catnip.
In addition to cats, there are also some cats, such as tigers and lions, which also react to catnip, which is very magical!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="62" > toad that makes dogs addicted</h1>
The scientific name of the toad is toad, and the image in the hearts of the Chinese people is not good, and when it is mentioned, it will think of ugly, and the toad wants to eat swan meat.
For dog lovers, toads are even more repulsive.
The toad's back secretes venom, which is a form of self-preservation. Dogs are an animal that is very curious about anything, smells and licks everything they encounter, and often has dog toad poisoning.
Light is drooling and foaming, and heavy is blindness (venom gets to the eye).
The domestic toad breed is not much for dogs, after all, dogs will also eat a long and wise, and will not lick it again.
But in some countries, some toad breeds are very lethal to dogs because it can make dogs addicted.
In Australia, there is a species of toad called the sea toad, also known as the "South American giant frog", which is a large toad native to South and Central America.
In the 1930s, in order to deal with pests in sugarcane fields, the Australian government imported about 100 sea toads from Hawaii, usa, and unexpectedly began a "toad disaster". In Australia, sea toads have no natural predators, coupled with the suitable environment and strong reproductive ability, and now the number of sea toads in Australia has been flooded.
In this case, as long as the Australian dog goes out, it is very likely that it will encounter sea toads.
The uneven pimples on the back of the sea toad can secrete a compound natural venom that contains adrenaline, dopamine, and a hallucinogenic, addictive substance that is not worse than white powder - Bufotenin.
Dogs that are accustomed to understanding the world with their mouths are easily exposed to this venom, and then they are addicted! A dog that has licked a sea toad once is like opening the door to a new world, and since then it has been addicted to licking toads and cannot extricate itself, which can be said to be a drug in the hairy child world!
And like human addicts, dogs that are addicted to licking sea toads will have worrying health and their life expectancy will be greatly shortened!
In response to this situation, many pet hospitals in the Australian government have set up "drug rehabilitation centers".
Dogs addicted to drugs are sent to a pet drug rehabilitation center, where the doctor divides them into 3 levels according to the addiction of the pet:
The first level belongs to those who have just become addicted to drugs, but have not yet formed dependence;
The second level is usually repeated after going out, and has already had a withdrawal reaction;
The third level is that the addiction has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and will constantly drool, scratch the wall, and become depressed, demented, and even not know the owner like a mental illness.
Dogs treated with mustard
The treatment method of the drug rehabilitation center is very simple, that is, to apply a large amount of mustard to the toad model for the dog to lick, so that the dog infected with drug addiction is so hot that the dog suspects that the dog is born, so as to successfully rehabilitate.
After the mustard treatment, the dog will retreat when it sees the toad. But not all dogs can regain their dog's life, and one in five dogs will still be licked after being discharged from the hospital, which is difficult!
At present, australian folk have also used various strange tricks to eliminate sea toads, and there are more and more pet hospitals that set up drug rehabilitation projects, but the effect is not too obvious.
So, don't introduce new species at will!
