Is the high similar to heroin/morphine etc in humans? Because if it is, then is catnip not addictive to a cat? What if a cat discovers whole fields of the stuff and decided to revel in it until death? It's unlikely but it could happen
What if a human discovers whole aisles of cheese and decided to relish in it until casomorphin overdose?
Edit: twas a joke, guys...

A cat is not going to OD on catnip. Also, from the article: "Big or small, the felines surrendered to the substance, rubbing their heads and bodies in the patches for an average of 10 minutes"
Is it to see them have fun? Is it so the owners have fun? Is it good for them?
I never quite understood why catnip was so socially acceptable when we view other drugs with such different eyes.
My cats get high after eating tiny bits of green olives. They roll, are crazy for more, will literally lick my clothes if I spilled a drop of the pickle, and one of the gets a bit playfully aggressive. Just the smell of olives attracts them like crazy. Have also tried catnip, but no observable effect. I don't overdo it, I don't have olives very often in the fridge, and even then they maybe get a tiny piece once a wee…
Not just catnip,valerian too,which is a 'top recreational drug' for cats, apparently. When we were kids,we used to give small amounts of valerian root to our cat to chew. The cat would literally tear anything apart just to get it. Then,a few minutes later,it gets high, and just keeps rolling over purring with satisfaction.
I've seen many cats lounging under (or on top of) olive trees in the Alps around Nice (France).
Maybe this is a weird question, but why do people give drugs to their cats? Is it to see them have fun? Is it so the owners have fun? Is it good for them? I never quite understood why catnip was so socially acceptable when we view other drugs with such different eyes.

Anecdotr: one of our cats, upon presented with unlimited amounts of catnip, consumed it until it became basically K-holed and then refused to touch the stuff for a few years afterwards, suggesting the equivalent of a hangover.

Yes
