Some are left completely out of it, while others appear to be wild and hyperactive. </div><div><br></div><div>The high can last between 10 minutes to an hour, and around 70 per cent of cats are affected by the treat, according to the American Chemical Society.</div><div><br></div><div>Catnip is made from a plant called nepeta cataria, closely related to mint and, as a result, is often called catmint. </div><div><br></div><div>Its psychoactive quality comes from a compound known as nepetalactone, which binds to the olfactory receptors in a cat's nose.</div><div><br></div><div>This compound triggers a neurological response, similar to how cats react to sexual pheromones. But scientists are not entirely sure what it is about nepetalactone that makes cats react in this way.</div><div><br></div><div>They do know that sensitivity to catnip is an inherited trait, and
