I'm Andrew and I'm an animal photographer best known for my captivating images of felines. While I used to be terribly allergic to cats, I now live with my girlfriend, our three cats, and a slew of rotating foster kittens outside of D.C. 

Recently finished a project about cats' love for the green stuff.

I have a book coming out on June 19th called CATS ON CATNIP and wanted to share a few shots from it. This book was sooo much fun to make and I hope you guys enjoy a sneak peak!

Hippie! When I was a child, my mother explained that Yuppie meant, Young Urban Professional. So, I asked, "What does Hippie mean?" She told me it meant, Head In a Pile of Pot. I still laugh at her amazing Mommy improv.

So for all the people who are crying cruelty, educate yourselves first. While kittens who are genetically disposed to react to catnip (YES it's in their genes) will typically not show any type of response until they are between 3-6 (but up to 9) months old, catnip is HARMLESS to them before that. As for kittens that are not genetically predisposed towards catnip, exposure to it will not affect them in any way, shape or form, whether it be positive or negative. The photographer and his S.O. are doing a wonderful service by fostering in addition to caring for their own cats and it's obvious from the pictures they are doing a darn good job of it if you beyond the catnip ecstasy. Even the catnip induced euphoria alone should be enough to tell an intelligent person that these animals are comfortable and feel secure; they wouldn't let loose like this if they didn't feel safe. This couple is doing all the right things, so everyone needs to check their facts before posting baseless, belligerent comments

Most cats don't show an effect to Catnip until they're at least a 4-5 months old. Some cats never show an effect.

Too young to enjoy it yet. Never give catnip to a kitten. Should be at least 6 mos. old.

I thought cats weren't affected by catnip until they were about 6 months old? Is that not true?

Kittens are allowed to get high on catnip?! One on the left reminds me of a cat from my childhood... sniff.

This is a beautiful cat. I was given a gray kitten once for my Birthday when I was very young. I named him Stormy. A couple days later my Mom had a nightmare about cats. She took my beautiful little kitty and gave it away. I'm 48 and I still think about that beautiful, soft and fluffy little kitty. Especially when I see gray cats.
