A while back, Big Cat Rescue featured some of their tigers, lions and leopards enjoying catnip. Apparently some humans argued that there was no science behind the claim that these big guys did, in fact, enjoy the nip. So to placate the naysayers, they threw another nip party for their charges… in a more scientific vein. Well, not really… check it out:

What a great movie for a Sunday morning.
Good research! We don’t act the same way to nip every time! Some hoomans just don’t get us felines! Happy Sunday!
What a great video. I enjoyed that a lot. So much fun to see all those big cats having a good time. That is a great organization.Take care.
We love that video! Big cats really do have some things in common with smaller ones. We also love Big Cat Rescue. Our head peep has visited there, and it’s an amazing place for big cats who needed a forever home.
What a great video – we loved it and it shows that most big cats do like nip. Who can blame them for that!

We all love those big cats and of course a NipFest is always special!
OHCs that is a bigggggggggggggy kitty.

Ah ha kitties love catnips!
Loved it. I wonder if it’s the same % of big cats that like nip.
Sometimes a nip fest is just a nip fest and those big cats show how to truly enjoy some nip time with their brand of cuteness.
Kittehs is kittehs I guess..My Humom got to hold a Mountain Lion cub at a zoo once..she says it just like holding a very big kitten..and lots of fun to play with.. 😆
We loved the movie. But tell us: Was that little song about Binga?
That was fun to watch. I wonder if nip gives them the munchies too.
I LOVE knowing they can and do enjoy nip!
We think the videos proved that kitties like catnip, no matter their size.
We luff Sunday Catinee! Those big cats are great.
What a great video!!! They’re only 30 minutes from me, so it’s pretty pathetic that I’ve never made the time to visit!
Yes, but do they like Silvervine? MOL!
Of course the big cats loved nip! Who doesn’t? Those naysayers must be dog people.
Our Mommy wonders if the big kitties would let her snorgle their bellies! 🙂
MOL! Someone is signing up cats for legal nip experiments???
