Catnipcious is a real thing. (No it isn’t.)
It is described as a condition wherein a cat has ingested so much catnip, that it goes into a state of acute consciousness. In this hyper aware state, it has been reported, some cats have attempted to hypnotize their owners. If successful, the car keys have been taken and a cat joyride ends in multiple arrests.
Guess where the owner spends the night? In a jail cell, still hypnotized and acting like a chicken flapping it’s wings.
Catnipcious…one of the most frightening conditions known to man.

Is Oliver a Maine Coon? I often wish catnip could give me a jolt.

He is mostly Maine Coon according to our vet. Our son bought him from the SPCA and loved his ears…son moved for job, we are Oliver’s grandparents. I should post a video someday of him jumping through a hoop, sitting and staying. One smart kitty.

I thought he was because of the ruff and the ears. Ours is about 7/8 Maine Coon and very intelligent and affectionate. They are wonderful cats.

I seem to have a knack for adopting cats unaffected by catnip. I sprinkle some here or there and wait for a show … zip, zero, nada. Of course, knowing cats, they’re just waiting for me to leave so they can go nuts.

Perhaps they have too much respect and love for you to risk your being arrested.

I used to have a big catnip plant growing in my garden years ago when I had two cats (who were brothers). They both liked to sit under the catnip shrub and take a nibble of the plant now and then. Once in a while I saw one of them do a spontaneous back flip and then rub his neck on the plant over and over.
Oliver looks very handsome in this photo.

First, Oliver says “Thank you”. Second…hilarious! Your cat must have taken an extra large nibble that day 🙂
