I just wonder is it could be harmful
Just to reinforce what @Denice said, no catnip isn't harmful, but some cats react quite ummmm....interestingly to it and we believe they are on a temporary high. But no negative medical effects or long term mental effects.

Yep--I have a couple who do that, it's so cute.
One of mine will curl up around something that has it inside and do the bunny kicking thing..
Funny, I got a hoodie for Christmas that says "Legalize Catnip"
Yes, all 4 of my cats do that exact same thing! I have a few of those Jackson Galaxy "kickers" that have catnip inside them - they go crazy hugging it and fake disemboweling it!

this is so interesting! My kittens are Buster(8months) and KC(8 3/4 months). Buster absolutely loves catnip Bananas, Carrot and Tickle Pickles; but K.C. is indifferent to them.
Catnip isn't harmful. Some cats react to it and others don't. Kittens rarely if ever react to it, they have to get a little older. Kitties that do react to it really enjoy it and they are funny to watch. One of mine will curl up around something that has it inside and do the bunny kicking thing..
I used to think all kittens didn't react to catnip until older, but this last litter we had proved me wrong.The girl in the litter reacted when she was 5 weeks old to a catnip toy. I grow my own organic catnip, but my cats love the Meowy brand catnip toys. One tip for those of you who grow it - if you pick the flower buds and dry them the cats (at least mine) like that better than the leaves. Just be careful if you don't want it reseeding to get all the buds/seeds off the plant or it can spread.
