🐾 Gentle help with restlessness, stress & anxiety
Cats are considered independent and calm animals. But anyone who lives with them knows that they can also be stressed, overstimulated, or anxious – whether due to a move, a visit to the vet, new people, or simply changes in their daily routine. In such moments, we as owners wish we could gently help them. And that's where two amazing plants come into play: chamomile and catnip .
🌿 Chamomile & Catnip – Two herbs with great effects
Chamomile – The gentle calmer
Chamomile has been known in natural medicine for centuries for its anti-inflammatory, calming, and relaxing effects . What many people don't know is that cats also react extremely positively to the scent of chamomile.
The warm, floral scent can reduce stress in cats, promote sleep , and help them adapt more quickly to new surroundings. Chamomile, especially in the form of dried flowers or lightly dosed extracts, is suitable for aroma applications in the cat environment , for example, in toys or pillows. It's important to use high-quality chamomile and avoid direct oral ingestion—because for cats, the gentle scent is what matters most.
🌿 Catnip – Playfulness & Feel-Good Moments
In contrast to calming chamomile, catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a true mood enhancer for cats. The substance nepetalactone it contains has a stimulating, playful, and simultaneously calming effect on many cats. Some cats roll around in a frenzy, others suddenly start purring or feel the urge to play.
This reaction to catnip is completely harmless and comparable to a brief feeling of happiness – often followed by a state of relaxation. Therefore, catnip is ideal for encouraging the natural hunting and play instinct, dispelling boredom , or putting your cat in a balanced mood .
🤝 Chamomile & Catnip – A perfect combination
While chamomile provides relaxation and security , catnip brings vitality and lightness to a cat's life. Combined, the two plants unfold their full potential: They help cushion stressful situations while simultaneously providing exercise, play, and balance – medication-free, purely herbal, and gentle.
🛏️ How to use herbs effectively
Many owners already use chamomile and catnip in the form of herbal pillows , scented pads , or toys . Make sure to use natural, untreated ingredients—preferably organic. For example, place the herbs in:
- in a pillow or toy of your cat
- on the scratching post or in the transport box
- to a new location, e.g. when moving or visiting the vet
The herbs exert their effect through their scent alone – so you don't need to use oils or sprays, which also increases safety.
