Marttila's new book, Cats on Catnip, shows the different reactions to cats from catnip and just by the looks of these few photos, it's adorable! Cats on Catnip is now available Here!

Here is a very important PSA running to let pet owners know the dangers of catnip. We urge people to talk to their cats about the harmful effects of this dangerous substance. "Cat nip not even once" :) Via: We Know Memes
If you own a cat, you have for sure gone through cat nip adventures. By: Bacon bathrobe
Why drink alone at the end of a long and stressful day at the office?
Catnip- what does it do exactly? Are cats really getting high because of it? And why are some cats completely into it and others aren't? Enjoy a catnip party with Smoothie & Milkshake, and see how they'll react to it.
Did you know that only about 50 % of cats respond to catnip? And they all react in different ways: some cats are getting more mellow, others go hunting & some cats will just roll over the floor (like Smoothie does in this video). Usually the response will last 5 to 10 minutes, after which the cat becomes temporarily immune to catnip's effects for roughly 30 minutes. The chemical that gives the reaction is called "nepetalactone". Catnip is considered to be non-addictive and completely harmless to cats, so don't worry, it's not dangerous! Catnip plants are popular in herb gardens and grows widely as a weed.
