Sunday Catinee: Nip or Not?

October 7, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat30 Comments

I know some of you kitties aren’t turned on by catnip — in fact, researchers have estimated that somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of adult cats don’t care for nip. But have you ever met a cat who positively hated the stuff? This one does!

If you can’t see the above video, click here to watch it on YouTube!

Ernesto, on the other hand, can’t get enough of the nip! He broke into the stash and got embarrassingly stoned… really embarrassingly stoned:

(Incidentally, I find this video far funnier than the “hilarious voiceover” in the annotation, so be forewarned.)

    apparently Ernesto believes in the “he who has the most nip ON him wins” philosophy that The Crew has..

    Whew–I’m glad you didn’t mind my phrase-pilfering!

    When I was a baby cat, I gotted scared of Nip like that kitty did, but I like it okay now. I don’t get as crazypants as some, but I have a quiet good time.

    That other kitty is HEE-LAIR-EE-US!! And you are soooooo right–it’s much funnier with no narration. I almost squirted milk out my nose when he was plomp=plomp=plomping his butt down in all those piles of Nip!!

    Ernesto was funny. A floor covered in catnip and he was eating out of the container. What’s the matter, was the nip on the floor dirty? 🙂

    MOL! Ernesto was too funny! we are mostly “meh” when it comes to nip (silvervine too). Though Hollie loves a good nip-fest now and then. Thanks for sharing the movies, Sparkle!

    Interesting thing about catnip – there is a Celestial Seasonings tea for humans – it’s supposed to be a soothing blend and it has catnip in it! I always wondered why the kitties loved that box of teabags and I found out why when I read the ingredients! Silly kitties – Contrary humans.

    MOL
    Kitshka kind of reacted like the first kitty at the beginning but now she seems to be okay with it, although not excited by it. Which is good since I’m more like Ernesto 😉
    Purrs to a great Sunday, Sparkle!

    Great videos. Love the kitty that didn’t like the nip. Some of us don’t give a rip about the nip. And that crazy Ernesto sure has a good time. Thanks for the smile this morning. Take care.

    Ernesto is The Dude – he can nearly walk in a straight line after all that nip. Much respect. We need to practice his moves: the skid in the nip so you ‘tocks are covered is one we like loads.
    Thanks for this Sparkle – we love our catinees! Have a good Sunday: do not allow your human to think she can make you work!
