ʻIke ʻia ʻo Catnip i nā mea nona he nui e like me nā mea kanu e ʻumeʻume i nā pōpoki, ʻoiai e hana ana i kahi euphoric. He mole ia i loko o kēia mea kanu ke kuleana no kēia mau hoʻololi o ka lawena. ʻAʻole makaʻu nā pōpoki āpau iā ia, akā naʻe, a ʻaʻole paha e pane kekahi.

Catnip, mai kona inoa Lākina Nepeta Qatari, he mea kanu o ka ʻohana like me ka mint. No laila, loaʻa pū ʻia ia ma lalo o ka inoa o catnip a i ʻole catmint. He mea maoli kēia mea kanu i ʻEulopa, ʻApelika a me ʻAsia. ʻO ka mole e ʻumeʻume i nā pōpoki i kēia mea kanu i kapa ʻia nepetalactone.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻae nā pōpoki āpau i kēia mole. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hoʻoili ʻia kēia hiki i genetically. Wahi a nā noiʻi, ua hōʻike ʻia ma waena o 50 a 75% o nā pōpoki e makaʻala i ka catnip. He hale ia, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka ʻona vomeronasal a i ʻole ko kā Jacobson ʻaoʻao, aia ma waena o ka pā a me ka lua o ka ihu, kahi e nānā ai i kekahi mau mea, i loko o nā pheromones akā ʻo nā pūhui ʻē aʻe e like me catnip. Lawe ʻia ka anamanaʻo o kēia mau mea i ka wā e hana ai ka pōpoki i kahi ʻano grimace. Hoʻopili ʻo ia i kona lehelehe luna, ua kaʻawale kona waha me ka neʻe o kāna alelo. Ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻo ka poʻe holomoana.

E akahele no ka mea pili ka catnip i nā mea kanu like ʻole mai ka ʻohana mauʻu i hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia i nā pōpoki e hāpai i ka lawe digestive a me ka regurgitation o nā lauoho. E kamaʻilio wale mākou e pili ana i ka catnip i ʻike ʻia ʻo catnip ma aneʻi.

He ʻokoʻa ka hopena o ka pōpoki i ka catnip i waena o nā kānaka. Ma ka laulā, e ʻānai ka pōpoki, ʻolokaʻa, purr, ʻala, lick a i ʻole chew catnip. Kū ka hopena ma kahi o 10 a 15 mau minuke a pono e kali ma kahi o 30 mau minuke i kekahi mau hola ma mua o ka hiki hou ʻana o kahi hopena hou. Akahele

Loaʻa paha nā hopena o Catnip i like me nā pheromones o ka pōpoki wahine. No laila, ʻo ka poʻe i hoihoi i kēia mea kanu hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana i nā hana wela. Hiki ke kumu ʻia nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe e catnip. Ma ka laulaha, hoʻomaha kēia mea kanu akā hiki nō paha i kekahi mau pōpoki ke hana nui, overexcited, a i ʻole ka hakakā.

Eia kekahi, ma ka laulā, ʻaʻole pane ka hapanui o nā pōpoki i ka catnip a hiki i ka piha ʻana o 6 mau mahina i ka 1 makahiki. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ia he mea hōʻino i nā keiki keiki, no laila ʻaʻole paha lākou e pane iā ia ma mua o kēia makahiki ʻoiai e ulu ana kā lākou ʻike i kēia mea kanu. Eia kekahi, i kekahi mau pōpoki, ulu lohi ka ʻike ʻana i ka catnip. ʻAʻole pane paha kekahi poʻe iā ia i nā makahiki mua o ko lākou ola. Eia hou, ʻaʻole e hana kekahi mau pōpoki i ka catnip.

Hiki ke hoʻohana i ka Catnip hou a maloʻo paha, e ʻike nei ʻoi aku ka nui o ka mana i kāna ʻano hou. No laila he mea pono e hoʻohana i nā mea liʻiliʻi i kēia palapala. Nui nā kumu e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka catnip ma muli o nā hopena hoʻomaha:

• Pāʻani: loaʻa nā mea pāʻani i loaʻa i ka catnip i kahi kūʻai aku;
• E hoʻēmi i ke koʻikoʻi: inā pilikia a pīhoihoi paha kāu pōpoki (huakaʻi, mea hou i ka ʻohana, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe) a maʻalahi i ka catnip, hiki ke lilo i kahi koho maikaʻi e hōʻoluʻolu iā ia;
• Kōkua i kahi pilikia lawena: E ʻōlelo paha kekahi mau kahu wahine i catnip no nā pilikia e like me ke ʻano hopohopo hoʻokaʻawale. He hana kēia a ka pōpoki e lawe ai ke waiho wale ia no kahi lōʻihi loa ma ka home me ka ʻole o ka loaʻa ʻana o kāna haku;
• E hoʻomāmā i ka ʻeha.

Hoʻohui, lilo ka catnip i mea liʻiliʻi a emi paha i ka manawa. I mea e hoʻomau ai i kona hou, no laila koi ʻia e mālama iā ia i kahi pahu airtight. Loaʻa nā pīpī Catnip a hiki ke pīpī ʻia ma nā mea pāʻani, nā lāʻau ʻoka, a pēlā aku.

Akahele ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki i nā mea nui loa ke lilo i mea hōʻino nona a hana i nā maʻi digestive, ka luaʻi a i ʻole ʻoliʻoli. Hoʻohui ʻia, ʻaʻole koi ʻia ka catnip i kekahi mau hihia, keu hoʻi inā he maʻi hanu kāu pipi me ka hānō feline. No laila, mai kānalua e nīnau i kāu kauka holoholona inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana ia mea no kāu pōpoki.
