In today's episode, Katie has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... Catnip! That sprinkly stuff that makes the cats go wild! We figured, if there's something you regularly give your pets, why not understand it a little better? This was a fun one - simple to understand, and fun to picture all of those kitties having fun. Listen to hear Katie try and pronounce "nepetalactone" and to hear Zack get real uncomfortable with the more mature aspects of catnip's effects. You can grow catnip yourself - and even make some tea for you if your cat happens to be one of the 20-40% of cats who aren't into catnip. So chill out, relax, and dive into some catnip with us!  Highlights Include: - Even big cats - aka lions, tigers, etc. - also love catnip! - Catnip alternatives: Silver Vine and Valerian Root - A Cat Tony Montana   Donate to the ACLU: https://action.aclu.org/give/donate-to-aclu-multistep Donate to the NAACP: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/naacp-1   Follow on instagram @30minuteexpertpodcast and twitter @30minexpertpod Send us your expertise at [email protected] And please rate and review!
