Catnip when eaten acts as a sedative and this may be contributing to the signs you are reporting. A high or exclusively tuna diet is not a balanced diet for a cat and can lead to multiple deficiencies including vitamin e and taurine. I recommend feeding a complete cat food of a tuna/salmon variety with only very occasional treats of tuna (less than once a week)
