## 解决方案

1. ```
   Limit catnip to 1/2 teaspoon of dried leaves per session, and use no more than once a week; observe for signs of overstimulation (excessive rolling, drooling, aggression).
   ```
2. ```
   For anxiety, use synthetic feline pheromone diffusers (e.g., Feliway) or consult a veterinarian for behavior modification and possible anti-anxiety medication.
   ```
3. ```
   Provide environmental enrichment like puzzle feeders, scratching posts, and vertical space to reduce anxiety naturally.
   ```

## 无效尝试

- **** — Owners think more catnip will calm an anxious cat, but it can cause overstimulation and make anxiety worse. (85% 失败率)
- **** — Using catnip for all cats regardless of age or health; kittens under 6 months and cats with seizure disorders are more susceptible to adverse effects. (80% 失败率)
- **** — Mixing catnip with other calming supplements (e.g., valerian root) thinking it enhances effect, but it can cause excessive sedation or gastrointestinal upset. (75% 失败率)
