What exactly does catnip do to cats?

I’m sitting watching my cats going nuts over their catnip toys and got to wondering just what it does for them? Anyone out there have any ideas?

It gives them a euphoric feeling. It is all chemical, think about it as being similar to what drugs do to people.. except catnip isn’t harmful. Only 2/3 of cats have this reaction to catnip, it is hereditary, neet huh!

    They’re reacting to the chemical that catnip releases called Nepetalactone. They love the smell.
