10 Hilarious Photos Of Cats That Stopped Functioning After Using Catnip

We, cat owners, are most likely hiding a small bag with green powder in our homes that 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 the intense attraction most cats have towards it. Catnip is closely related to mint. It has a chemical compound that triggers a response from cats’ pheromone receptors and make them go totally over the moon for a while.

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.
