Catnip Experiment

The video explores the effects of catnip on various animals, including cats, skunks, foxes, and minks. The presenter conducts experiments to observe reactions and explains the science behind catnip's effects on cats. Catnip contains nepatelactone, which affects cats' brains, mimicking pheromones. Other animals do not react similarly due to different pheromone systems, though catnip may have sedative effects on some species.
