My cats are pretty stoned right now pics

[EndersDame]

I purchased some Kong brand Catnip the label says: Premium catnip- Highest potency for maximum excitement

[Capn Sunshine]

1. Catnip is hilarious

does anyone know how it works? Sometimes, it seems like they snort it.

[rcrush]

3. I know this dude that smoked catnip on a dare then got hooked on it

Apparently it causes some crazy trips

[Xithras]

28. The dude was probably making it up.

Catnip releases chemicals that bind to certain cat pheromone receptors, which trigger secondary reactions in their nervous systems. Cat pheromones have no effect on humans because we don't have those receptors.

Certain catmint plants contain other chemicals which can have a sedative effect on humans similar to a very mild marijuana, but the reaction isn't related.

2. AWWW!!!

Stoner kittehs!!!

[EndersDame]

5. Yeah- Frisky, The black one has been pretty stressed because of the puppy I brought home

He is pretty mellow right now

[carlyhippy]

4. I bought catnip plants from a pet store, guess they are not high grade enough for my cats

they don't seem interested...they want the high dollar C....

[EndersDame]

7. I have one other cat but he does not like any catnip premium or shwag

[Lasher]

21. I bought a couple of catnip plants this spring.

Raised them all year in the garden and yesterday I cut them and stuffed them in a big bag. So I clipped off a couple of the big buds and gave them to my cat Buddy. He seemed only mildly interested. The fresh leaves didn't do much to blow his skirt up either.

I thought he would have loved it since it's fresh and therefore more potent. And he's gone nuts over dried catnip that I've bought before. I wonder if the variety of the catnip plant and/or where it was grown that makes a difference?

[carlyhippy]

22. I was wondering that too, I cut the rest of my plants yesterday and put them up to dry out

I just didn't get the same response that I do when they get the dried out stuff from the store, I figured they would go nuts with freshly cut :(

[Lasher]

23. I read up on this at Wiki

Wikipedia says, "When cats sense the bruised leaves or stems of catnip..."

Let's bruise the hell out of those leaves and stems, then see what happens. I suppose that must help release the active ingredient, which is called nepetalactone. I think I'll chop some of mine up and stuff it in an old sock, then jump up and down on it or smash it with a hammer.

[carlyhippy]

25. LOL! I will bruise them to the best of my ability!

I hate to think I watered these plants all summer only to find it is skunky catnip that my darlings' will turn their noses up at :(

[Lasher]

26. Bruise like the wind, Carly!

I'll open me up a can of whupass on my catnip this evening. Let's compare notes.

6. "Dude, where's my bowl? I've like totally got the munchies.

My Friskies are, like, talking to me."

8. Dax, the orange tabby,will claw anybody who goes near her stash

[bluesbassman]

9. A puff, a party, a tragedy!

[EndersDame]

10. One is just chillin' the other is guarding her pile

Catnip turning cats lazy or viscous lol

[bluesbassman]

11. That's pretty much the same drill with mine.

The big fat male rolls around on it for a while, then crashes flat on his back. His sister jumps around in it then hunkers down on top of it and give you the stink eye if get to near her pile. Too funny.

[busybl]

12. oh that's hilarious

black kitty is whacked out. the orange one is at the duuude stage

[busybl]

13. I had two cats. the black male loved it. the other cat,

one those white ones with the brown and black striped saddle couldn't care less.

[EndersDame]

14. The black kitty,Frisky, has needed some serious mellow time after I brought home a puppy

he is getting it now

[applegrove]

15. When I put catnip down for my Monster I then pretend to want it back and grab for it. He

always covers the catnip with his body to protect it from me. What a hog he is.

[EndersDame]

16. Dax will warn you about going to close to her stash

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. omg. Laugh Out Loud funny shit right there

that last one expecially :rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I love the last one. We call the little tongue hanging out bit a "silly face" around here.

[crim son]

19. Totally cute!

I planted catnip in my garden this spring and wondered all summer why it didn't grow. Then I caught Muezza chewing on a sprig in August and I was like... DUH! I have three cats: no wonder they're so happy and lazy all the time!

Cute kittehs!

[KT2000]

20. Yeah - maximum excitement

until they zone out.
Had a cat that got paranoid on catnip. She wanted me to hold her under a blanket on the couch until she fell asleep. The other cat got hers after that.

[graywarrior]

24. The third pic...bwahahahahahahahaha!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[GoCubsGo]

27. How did my cat get in your house?

The black one... I warn you, she's a mean drunk. Anyone tries to get near her stash, and she'll smack them.

[Fire Walk With Me]
