128 Times Cats Found Catnip, And Cat.exe Stopped Functioning
If you're a cat owner, having a small bag of green powder in your home means something very different from what most people would think. It's that magical dust that turns domestic felines into wild jungle cats as soon as they get a whiff of it, and melts them into a motionless puddle of fluff if they lick it up. Enter the wondrous world of catnip, and the stoned kitties who can't get enough of it.
The name 'catnip' is derived from nepeta cataria, an herb closely related to mint. The plant, whether freshly grown or dried for commercial purposes, secretes a chemical compound called nepetalactone that triggers a response from cats' pheromone receptors - in other words, it makes them lose their minds when they smell it. When the plant is ingested, it produces the opposite effect by sedating the cat. Each feline reacts differently to the magical herb, with some showing outright immunity to its powers. Others, however...
Check out a list of cats who went on a serious 'nip trip' below, and just wish that you were on their level of ecstasy right now.

Nice troll, ladies. Ever heard of a catio? Environmental enrichment? Taking care of feline mental health to reduce problem behaviours and stress? Well, I have - I'm a registered veterinary professional with extensive training and I'm employed and counseling people about the above things. Trolls be trolls - get your head out if your well-used keyboard and realize that the world is a LOT bigger than the little pieces you see online.

Does catnip really work? I give my cat some... And i think there is no effect for her... Or maybe i got a bad batch?
Greg Hoggarth 7 years ago
It only works for about 50% of cats, and some are more sensitive than others - some of these photos and gifs seem to show very sensitive cats. Freshness can matter, too.

A lot of these are really funny, but always in these cat posts there are so many fat cats. That's animal cruelty, if you didn't know. Animals, just like humans, aren't supposed to be fat.

Apparently pet obesity has seen a sharp rise, along with people obesity :\.
