The Catnip Madness Continues: Funniest Things Cats Have Done While On The 'Nip

For this week's challenge, we decided that it's time to bring on a hissterical classic. Cats on catnip, and the madness continues. Cats are weird all the time, let's be real, but there is still something incredibly special about watching a cat lost its mind when it sniffs this little harmless plant. It's… hissterical. No matter how many times we watch our cats get high catnip, we cannot help but giggle. They're just so, so silly, rolling around, drooling, attempting to hump that one pillow on the couch… although maybe that's just our cats.

Now, at this point, obviously we know why cats enjoy catnip so much. We know what it does to their brains, why they go crazy like that, but you know what- that still doesn't take away the magic of the experience. And you guys understand that, so when we asked you to tell us about the funniest things your cats have done while high, you were more than happy to share.

Goodness, we wish we knew what the heck is going on in their brains when they are sniffing this thing. What could this guy possibly be imagining when looking at this cat tree while he's high? Does it turn into a monster in its mind, and if it does, what does it look like? Or maybe catnip just gives your cat a fear of heights… which is even funnier.

Are you sure your cat was on catnip for this one? Because we thought that this was just simply regular cat behavior. Our cats… do this all the time, catnip or not. Well… maybe our cats are just dumbed than most. That's okay though. We love them for it.
