Sudden, more frequent urination may be a sign of Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), or some other bladder problem. This condition, much like human bladder infections, is very painful for the cat and in some cases (such as a blockage) can be life-threatening if not treated. The cat should be taken to a vet immediately.
As well as needing to urinate more often than usual, other symptoms include: Blood in urine, avoidance of the litterbox as a cat will associate the pain with the litter box and may choose a softer spot to wee, and constant licking of the genital area.
Cats usually develop urinary problems from stress or not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food (a cat has evolved to get moisture from its food and so have a low "thirst drive") or overly stressed.
The most important treatment, aside from vet-prescribed pain killers (and antibiotics if an infection is present), is to increase your cat's water intake. Feeding wet food instead of dry, adding a little extra water to the wet food and/or providing a water fountain to entice the cat to drink more water are very good options. Even adding "flavoured water" such as juice from canned fish to food or water will help entice a cat to drink.

No, because catnip is harmless to cats. Some cats may vomit if they eat catnip leaves, or a large amount of catnip leaves, but that is a normal reaction when cats eat a lot of any plant. Otherwise, catnip will have no negative effects on your cat's health. It should be noted that some cats may react aggressively to catnip rather than happily. This is only because different cats respond in different ways to catnip. If your cat happens to seem angry after exposure to catnip, it does not mean that it has harmed him/her in any way.
