Definition
A plant genus, also known as catmint or catnip, containing aromatic herbs that are attractive to cats and have been used medicinally by humans.
Etymology
From Medieval Latin 'cataria,' possibly derived from Latin 'cattus' (cat) combined with the plant suffix '-aria,' literally meaning 'cat-plant.' The genus name became standardized in botanical nomenclature.
Kelly Says
Cataria shows the curious intersection of pet behavior and plant chemistry—the iridoid oil in catnip that makes cats go wild actually has calming effects on humans, so we domesticated cats while they're chemically attracted to their favorite plant.
