While some cats like catnip, others utterly disregard it. It all boils down to genetics when it comes to whether or not your cat enjoys eating. "The catnip reaction is an autosomal dominant feature," explains Dr. Lauren Demos, president of the American Association of Feline Practitioners. "As a result, it is inherited from a cat's parents—if neither parent responds, neither will their offspring."
