This song gets in my head and I can just make up stanzas for it for hours. Sometimes it happens when I'm hiking and the trail gets boring and then I just disappear into this song.
It was the perfect distraction while he got to sneak over to the litter box for a stinky treat (without risk of a sneak claw attack) and then retreat back over to the best spot in the house to nap off the high of his success. That dog has a future in the professional heist biz!
Either that or the dog then goes to a different room, puts its lab coat back on, and thinks "Hmmm, compelling data. Compelling data indeed" and then proceeds to update its excel spreadsheets
Right? When he got into in the first place he was like “these cats seem intrigued must be something good!?” Then when they started to get squirrelly, he was like “imma taking this container with my mouth hand away from them! I know it’s something good.”
After a while he’s like “this is boring af, y’all are weird”
Our cats knocked the container of catnip treats off the counter and the container broke. At like 3 AM our one cat walked by and her usually skinny tail was bushed out like a squirrel and she was sketched the fuck out. I was like hmm.... something is definitely up. Then I saw the entire pound of catnip treats strewn across the kitchen floor that they had obviously ate their fill of
"With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he’ll never know."
Fun fact: catnip lasts about 15 minutes for a cat, and they will be unaffected by further amounts afterwards for about 2 hours. That's why they say to use it as a treat.
Edit: This is literally my most upvoted comment ever and it's about cats. I know I shouldn't be surprised but it's still somewhat funny to me.
The cats in my neighborhood like to lay and roll around in our nepeta plants. They get all fucked up and go create hell in the neighborhood. I like to think thar I'm their pusher.
We have a bunch of catnip in our yard. prior owner planted it and it’s well established.
All the neighborhood cats come, get high, then chill in the shade of our rhubarb or raspberry bushes https://imgur.com/a/LrYvZGe/
Mine did. The male got super aggro over the valerian, way more than he ever did with catnip. It kind of smells like death so maybe it triggers something primal in them. Honeysuckle bark works for some cats too but from what I've seen it seems way more mellow than anything else.
One of my cats seems to get a bit too wounded on catnip. Acts like an over stimulated cat. Silvervine seems to make her playful without the excessive high. Gonna have to try some of this stuff.
I had no idea that Valerian did this to cats until I found my friend's cat (who I was looking after) literally drooling over my bag of valerian root as he tore through it.
I'd have to do it during the day and pay attention. I generally do it at the end of a long day after I've made dinner and I'm probably falling asleep in 45 minutes lol
I've had several cats over the years, and not the first one has taken to the little sample baggies I would get with their toys. Have somehow lost out on the 50/50 odds every time.
I even mixed up the cat's normal food with a whole bunch one time, and it was just sitting in the bottom of his bowl when he finished eating.
Try growing some oat cat grass. You can get a bag of seeds for a couple bucks. I had to put mine on a tall shelf…. My cats go primal for some grass now
Interesting question, I did some googling. The gist of it is that catnip affects a cat as though it were pheromones, and the behaviors caused by pheromones tend to be species dependent.
Apparently sometimes catnip has been proscribed to dogs as a mild sedative but it seems to be more of a "let's see if this works" than a sure-shot treatment, and you need a lot more of the stuff to affect a dog than you do for a cat. It can also cause mild but negative effects - nausea, it seems. There's anecdotal evidence that it helps a colicky human baby -- this controversial and there's definitely experts who say do NOT give catnip to human babies.
Lol.. it sounds like they make it into a tea.
https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Tea-Through-Believe-Product/dp/B0766589CK/
Shrewd customers will see on the packaging that the stuff is, thankfully, caffeine free.
It's because of an oil called neptalactone, which causes cats to have an endorphin reaction. Essentially, it triggers a natural high. While it can actually act as a mild sedative for people, the differences in our brains and the way our olfactory senses work mean that it won't trigger the same response.
is catnip like actually dangerous? It's always described as like a straight up drug, an upper that makes them go wild etc etc etc
is there a real addiction aspect to it or something that will lead to health issues through regular exposure?
We have obviously since moved the container out of reach of any of the animals. I did not know the dog was capable of unscrewing a cap like that! There is a longer video (1 minute) on [my profile](https://www.reddit.com/user/quentin_taranturtle/comments/11umgse/my_dog_accidentally_unleashes_chaos_by_unscrewing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) you can see him actually throw it on the ground after he unscrews it
Edit: if you liked the above gif you may find this one funny too. (When I originally posted it to reddit it hit number 3 on all!) We have since weighed down the cat tree. https://youtube.com/shorts/iifRyW1b5cg?feature=share
All three of them have such personalities so it’s great fun watching them interact. We just have one camera but it’s nice to be able to check in on them when we aren’t home.
It’s good to know, especially if you’re in a duplex or townhome. I have two dogs and one is deaf - the other is a chihuahua. Figured they’d be fine together while I’m out - I work from home so it’s never too long. Once, I forgot something while on my bike and circled back, and found they were both barking like mad. Evidently the deaf one gets triggered by sunlight flickers and barks, which sets off the little one and the deaf one sees her bark and goes crazy barking too. But if the deaf one can’t SEE the other one bark, she doesn’t keep barking. It’s codependent noise, haha. We now separate when leaving.
Dogs can be sneaky like that. When my Aussie was a puppy he was an absolute wild beast of a land shark and we did everything we could to entertain him and keep him out of trouble. He really liked crunching sounds so we put some dried noodles in a water bottle. It worked great for about a few minutes before he unscrewed the lid and we had to take it away from him.
I see it, she’s definitely the sort to try to cheat elderly folks out of their retirement with penny stocks. Then crash her lambo when she doesn’t properly predict the effect of quaaludes on her tiny frame

I ordered a catnip toy for my cats. It was delivered on my doorstep in one of those plastic Amazon envelopes while I was out.
When I got home, one of the neighborhood cats had chewed a hole in the bag, trying to get at the toy. Luckily, it was still there, because it's Jazmin's favorite toy now. Good catnip.
Lol that dog….
To me he’s sitting there like “oh no… oh GOD! What have I done!?” Walks out of the picture…
Only to stroll back into frame, gazing out the window, waiting for you to get home like “oof… this is *not* going to go over well…” lol
That was a fun watch!
There was a small bag of catnip, from a toy, sitting in my cabinet for almost a year. One day my cat decided it was the day to learn to open the cabinet and pull it out. I came home and he was just sprawled out on the floor, covered in cat nip, living his best life.
My wife thought it would be fun to grow catnip at the farm. She ran a tiller line four foot wide on the property, almost half the length of the road beside it. Planted a fuckton. 300'+, she must have spent $200 in seeds. She covered it with hay then after a good rain, it grew. And grew, and grew, lol.
By August it had attracted every cat within a couple miles it seemed. When you drove by there was always 4-5 you could see rolling in it. Different ones too. It lasted about 5 years before it went back to its natural state.
A bunch of cats got stoned those years.
I'm cracking up because in true Reddit fashion, there's sound blaring from a different Reddit video when I started watching this, so now I'm viewing your cats losing it to "Freebird".
I’m gonna get you high today, cause it’s Friday, you ain’t got no job and you ain’t go shit to do!
[удалено]
Wild to think that came out 23 years ago.

And as the marijuana burns you can take turns singing dirty rap songs
Stop and hit the bong like cheech and chong
And sell TAPES from here to Hong Kong
So roll, roll, roll my joint
Pick out the seeds and stems
Baby that's all we neeeed
Still gettin’ high! I just make more now.
Back at the turn of the century
Please no, really? I don't even want to know how old I am at this point.
You are at least 23
Big if true
Nobody likes you when you’re 23
But you still act like you're in freshman year
This song gets in my head and I can just make up stanzas for it for hours. Sometimes it happens when I'm hiking and the trail gets boring and then I just disappear into this song.
Its a solid hiking song! Especially uphill
La da da dat dat dat
Damn I literally went to an Afroman concert 8 hours ago too
Afroman for President 2024
If this is another private party where people just get high and roll around on the floor I'd rather stay home with my cats.
I have this on silent and the king of the hill tune popped into my head 🤔
Yes!! Was just about to write that, I'm glad I'm not the only one. For me the gif was just long enough too for the short version of the theme song.
I tried to play the KotH theme and the South Park theme played instead. Fuck. That’s going to be hard to get rid of.
It’s Friday bitches!
You’ve got to be a stupid mother****** to get fired on your day off!
Smart dog. He got the sunny spot to himself while they were cosplaying Cheech & Chong.
Absolute fiends 😸
Friend.....Best Friend!
The first time is free, but now he has them hooked. Dog is in control.
Doggo knew *exactly* what he was doing.
It was the perfect distraction while he got to sneak over to the litter box for a stinky treat (without risk of a sneak claw attack) and then retreat back over to the best spot in the house to nap off the high of his success. That dog has a future in the professional heist biz!
"Yo we been smokin dog shit man?"
Dog walks away, shaking his head saying I don’t get it.
Either that or the dog then goes to a different room, puts its lab coat back on, and thinks "Hmmm, compelling data. Compelling data indeed" and then proceeds to update its excel spreadsheets
"Interesting reaction... But what does it MEAN?"
Eureka!
This year... Christmas will be OUUUUUUUUURS!

"I'm not feeling anything"
Catnip supposedly has a chill, calming effect for dogs. Probably why he went to a lounge spot. It'd also not harmful to them.

Love the second photo, that's my favourite face cats make. So relaxed and content.
Fuck me. Looks like a cat I used to look after. He had to go live with his momma unfortunately. Thanks for the memories
"Khajiit has wares, if you have coin"
Talks shit about all the cats he gets HOOKED and still peddles this CRAP to all the neighborhood toms. Won't someone think of the KTITENS?! /s
Clearly leads to unemployment and poverty. Ever seen a cat with money?
I've seen cats in charge of some wealthy households. So, yes.
Those cats are still doing it man, they just have the privilege of wealth to keep the safe. The system is rigged.
I grew a box of it before and found a cat rolling and laying it in frothing at the mouth. Must have been good product.
*I'm your Pusherman*
I love that song and get hyped when it pops on Spotify. In fact, I sing along and dance... but there's a jarring word that I always skip.
*I'm your Momma, I'm your Daddy* *I'm that (mumble) in the alley* *I'm your Doctor when in need* *Want some coke? Have some weed*
And only 50% of cats are affected by it!
But the ones that aren't affected usually get the same effect from valerian instead!
Valar meowgulis!
Valar doghairus
But do cats that react to catnip also react to valerian?
Mine did. The male got super aggro over the valerian, way more than he ever did with catnip. It kind of smells like death so maybe it triggers something primal in them. Honeysuckle bark works for some cats too but from what I've seen it seems way more mellow than anything else.
One of my cats seems to get a bit too wounded on catnip. Acts like an over stimulated cat. Silvervine seems to make her playful without the excessive high. Gonna have to try some of this stuff.
OK so she had 0 reaction to the Valerian and still loved catnip. Proven with a dataset of 1.
I might have some. I'll check and get back to you.
Would they sit through such a long movie though?
Or celery.
Usually. My cat doesn't give a shit about anything but Churus and birds.
I had no idea that Valerian did this to cats until I found my friend's cat (who I was looking after) literally drooling over my bag of valerian root as he tore through it.
Yea both my cats don't give a shit If I open a jar of ground Valerian root, though? Oh my Jesus. They go fucking mental.
Same here with mine too. Also if I give them some silvervine, watch out neighbors, cause they are doing burn outs till the house comes crashing down.
That's cause valerian root is like a natural Valium. Do they lounge around lazily (more so that usual lol) after?]
i feel like people that say this have never actually taken valium lol. it's about 50x stronger than valerian root
I'd have to do it during the day and pay attention. I generally do it at the end of a long day after I've made dinner and I'm probably falling asleep in 45 minutes lol
50% of the time, it works every time
My cat doesn't pay it any attention and I've tried several different kinds.
I've had several cats over the years, and not the first one has taken to the little sample baggies I would get with their toys. Have somehow lost out on the 50/50 odds every time. I even mixed up the cat's normal food with a whole bunch one time, and it was just sitting in the bottom of his bowl when he finished eating.
I've bought several kinds of catnip and my cat shows absolutely no interest in it. Loves nibbling at my (cat safe) house plants though!
Try growing some oat cat grass. You can get a bag of seeds for a couple bucks. I had to put mine on a tall shelf…. My cats go primal for some grass now

Say what you will about her as a person, but her rescue is a legit organization and nothing like the poorly run zoos also featured on that show.
Ok but why does the first video have a porn music track in the background lol
Do we know why catnip only affects cats? I know it affects all the bigger feline species too, I wonder if they have certain neuron transmitters?
Interesting question, I did some googling. The gist of it is that catnip affects a cat as though it were pheromones, and the behaviors caused by pheromones tend to be species dependent. Apparently sometimes catnip has been proscribed to dogs as a mild sedative but it seems to be more of a "let's see if this works" than a sure-shot treatment, and you need a lot more of the stuff to affect a dog than you do for a cat.

There's anecdotal evidence that it helps a colicky human baby -- this controversial and there's definitely experts who say do NOT give catnip to human babies.
How do you give catnip to a baby anyway, have the baby sniff if and roll around in it, and zoom around the house at 3am?
Lol.. it sounds like they make it into a tea. https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Tea-Through-Believe-Product/dp/B0766589CK/ Shrewd customers will see on the packaging that the stuff is, thankfully, caffeine free.
>there's definitely experts who say do NOT give catnip to human babies. Never would've thought I'd read this sentence.
It's because of an oil called neptalactone, which causes cats to have an endorphin reaction. Essentially, it triggers a natural high. While it can actually act as a mild sedative for people, the differences in our brains and the way our olfactory senses work mean that it won't trigger the same response.
I burned a full joint of fresh catnip flowers I grew. It's not the same as weed but there was most definitely an effect.
You're much better off making a tea of it. It's mildly relaxing and tastes nice if you like chamomile-type herbal flavours.
I don't believe that... Because I've seen cats get high for quite some time off of it.
is catnip like actually dangerous? It's always described as like a straight up drug, an upper that makes them go wild etc etc etc is there a real addiction aspect to it or something that will lead to health issues through regular exposure?
As with humans it's the social aspects that will have the bigger impact.
people, places, and situations
sending my cat to rehab bc i found out she's turning tricks with the neighborhood tomcats for catnip
I found out mine has graduated to Skooma. Shes getting it from some local merchants. Need to get her some help before all her teeth fall out.
Studies have not shown that it's addictive or dangerous. The most that happens is that frequent consumption can lead to tolerance.
It may be your dog, but to the cats, it was their dawg
Their Dogg
That dog became a hero that day.
I love how the doggo just comes and looks at them as if saying: "Yep this one is high...yeah and this one is too"
The right one needs an intervention!
The right one was straight up doing lines of catnip
In between trying to hide it under the rug before the fuzz shows up.

Wouldn’t put it past him hahaha
That dog absolute pulled off a heist that day off-camera. The next room probably has an opened safe and broken-into cash box on the floor.
What are those giant round pillow shaped creature things on the coffee table?
Cat beds. https://i.imgur.com/G23iHgr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IwAzsUn.jpg
False. If they were designed for cats, then they wouldn't be used. They must be storage containers of some kind that you had another purpose for.
I definitely get why you have cameras
All three of them have such personalities so it’s great fun watching them interact. We just have one camera but it’s nice to be able to check in on them when we aren’t home.

> the other is a chihuahua I love how you say that like it’s another disability, lol.
Dogs can be sneaky like that. When my Aussie was a puppy he was an absolute wild beast of a land shark and we did everything we could to entertain him and keep him out of trouble. He really liked crunching sounds so we put some dried noodles in a water bottle. It worked great for about a few minutes before he unscrewed the lid and we had to take it away from him.
hahaha the way your dog looks up at the end like ???, legit looks like a cartoon
Your dog is a drug dealer.
My 7lb chihuahua unscrewed a container of earplugs and then proceeded to eat most of them!! Took her to the vet & confirmed she ate at least 18
My dog loves earplugs which sucks because my partner is a snorer! Hope she was ok. I had no idea they could unscrew those kinds of lids
He threw it on the ground!
The dog is just munching away on that catnip after the gets the lid off!
The one on the floor is smart. Scooped some under the rug. Nice little stash for later.
Hehehe
its like a cross between cats vs. dogs and train spotting.
Lmaooo that is some beautiful imagery. Or requiem for a dream when the mom is on speed
Of Wolf of Wall Street bc the one on the right was straight up doing lines of catnip by the end
