Observations
Nothing saved or sent. Reload clears entries. Do not enter personal or medical details.
No safety score or dosing recommendation is generated. Contact a veterinarian promptly for suspected toxic ingestion or a concerning reaction.
Use plain descriptions
Write what you saw rather than a label such as happy, high or poisoned. A fictional example is rubbed head on the toy, then moved away. The note is more useful when it includes what object was present and which setting you observed. It still cannot establish why the animal behaved that way.
Source examples are not an all-clear list
Cats Protection describes several possible catnip-related behaviors, including rubbing and rolling. ASPCA also describes stimulation, sedation and gastrointestinal signs. Do not use a resemblance to one example to rule out a medical problem. A familiar behavior can still need professional assessment when the circumstances concern you.

Unknown is a valid field
If you did not see whether anything was swallowed, write unknown rather than no. If the plant or product is uncertain, preserve that uncertainty. The tool is an original note organizer, not a toxicology assessment. No combination of its entries makes a cat safe or establishes that professional care can wait.
Do not collect observations instead of seeking help
For a suspected toxic ingestion or a concerning reaction, contact your veterinarian or poison service promptly. Do not expose the cat again to improve a note or test the suspected cause. Keep the actual package or plant information available to the professional, but do not delay contact to complete this page.
