My ex's cat woke us up one morning while we were over at her mom's place, meowing and wailing at the door. We went up to go see what all the racket was about and sure enough, I kid you not, she had taken down and mauled a raccoon and brought the corpse home to make us happy. What does this have to do with catnip? We resolved from that moment that we never ever would give her any on the basis of fear.
