Do male and female cats react differently to catnip?

TheMilitantSingleGirl asked:


We have a male office cat who, when offered catnip, eats it and goes nuts like he’s on *****. My female cat, when offered catnip, sniffs it and gets all lovey-dovey which is opposite of her normal personality. Is this difference in reactions because the cats are different sexes?
