A broad question such as Is catnip safe can hide several smaller ones. What plant or product is present? What does the label actually say? What did the person see? Is there a current health or exposure concern? This notebook keeps those questions separate rather than generating one reassuring percentage.
Sources deserve their full context
Cats Protection gives general context about catnip responses and describes small amounts as safe. ASPCA's plant record preserves a toxicity warning and lists possible gastrointestinal effects. Quoting only the friendlier headline would lose useful information. Neither page supplies this site with a universal dosing rule or a reason to ignore a concerning event.

An original fictional example
A cat rubbed a filled toy, and later the person noticed loose material. The record does not establish whether the cat swallowed anything or whether an observed change was caused by the filling. Write the unknown down. For a suspected toxic ingestion, contact the veterinary team promptly and keep the original product information available.
A useful note ends with a better question
The label card and observation sheet are temporary question organizers. They do not send a case to a professional or connect to PawLine records. PawLine can help organize pet context and research-based questions, but an app cannot replace appropriate veterinary help. Use official store links for current app terms, not a promise about a cat's outcome.
