Cats rule the internet. And rightfully so.
What other animal combines chaos, hilarity, mischief, and cuteness all in one furry package? Whether they’re knocking things off shelves or demanding food at 3 AM, they make life, both online and off, a lot more entertaining.
We’ve captured that spirit with a collection of funny memes from the Facebook page Cats on Catnip. Take a moment, scroll through, and let these little troublemakers brighten your day.

Put The Husband Outside
Multa Nocte 6 months ago
We just got a new kitten today as part of a cosmic cat redistribution blip. He is 3 months old, tiny as can be, and is half Ragdoll, half Russian blue. He's GORGEOUS! It started out well wherein my Boulette (one year old) grabbed him and started grooming him, and then he hissed at her after a minute and now she's angry and sulking elsewhere. His other sister, Chaussettes, is adjusting better, but we aren't a happy family yet (after 15 whole hours). His name is Torchon (pronounced Tor-shon) and he is identical in looks to his gorgeous father, the ragdoll. We are ecstatic.

Good. This Is Good. 🥺
Miss Tinker 6 months ago
My dad doesn’t like cats, never has, but has always supported my love for them. He still lives on the 30 acres of farmland my siblings and I grew up on and has a special place where all our pets we have had over the years are buried after they pass away. Last week he dug a hole for one of my cats and helped me place stones and flowers on the grave. My Dad is my hero ❤️
Once you browse Cats on Catnip, it’s pretty clear why the page got its name.
The memes are delightfully chaotic, hilarious, and a little wild—just like a kitty after a taste of the magical herb.
As a cat owner myself, it’s always fun to watch them enjoy it.

We had an all black puppy and a long hallway with a black mat the length of it AND a heat vent along the wall. Needless to say the puppy liked being near the heat but got stepped on a lot.,
But have you ever wondered: Why does catnip get cats “high”? Is “high” even the right word? What is catnip, anyway? Let’s break it down, with some help from PetMD.
First, the basics.
Catnip, or Nepeta cataria, is a member of the mint family. It’s easy to grow in North America and has light-green leaves with lavender flowers.
People have used catnip leaves to brew tea, and the flowers are sometimes used to help relieve coughs. It’s even a natural ingredient in some bug sprays.

Missing Cat
Uncle Schmickle 5 months ago
I don't blame you for missing him while you're at Uni. I recently went on a 6 day trip and missed my cat the 1st night away.
Marsha Hultberg 6 months ago
The only kind of missing my heart can tolerate. Appreciate the twist!!
But for cats, the magic only happens if they smell it.
Cats have an extra scent organ called the vomeronasal gland on the roof of their mouth, which collects scents and sends signals to the brain (it’s why cats sometimes make a silly “stinky face” when they sniff something). Catnip’s effects travel through this pathway.

According to researchers, catnip works through the body’s internal opioid system.
When a cat smells catnip, a compound called nepetalactone interacts with certain cells in their upper airway, triggering the release of endorphins (natural opioids) in the body.
This is why the experience feels good to them.

Interestingly, cats given naloxone—an opioid “antidote”—won’t react to catnip, which supports this theory.
Eating catnip alone doesn’t do much, though some cats chew on it, possibly to release more nepetalactone from the leaves.
And despite the rumors, catnip isn’t causing LSD-like hallucinations in your cat (and there’s no way to prove that anyway). But it is a safe, cheap, and fun way to give your cat a short burst of joy.

It's quite common in the US to use "it" for a gender neutral term for pets. It's not meant to be demeaning. I usually hear people say something like "is it a boy or a girl cat?"

He's on the phone to HR (or CR) right now. Ask for permission to take a picture next time, Janet.
Cats usually start to feel the effects of catnip within seconds, with the “high” lasting around 10 minutes, sometimes stretching to 15. After that, cats need about 1–2 hours before they can feel the effects again.
Cats don’t all react the same way, either.
Some get playful, zoom around, roll, or flip over in excitement. Others get mellow, lounging in a happy daze.
A few may even get a bit feisty or overstimulated. One of my cats, for instance, would be fine as long as you didn’t touch her, but if you tried to pet her mid-catnip session, she’d bite!

The Cat Was The One Complaining

Well, Your Cat Is Smarter Than You Are
Philly Bob 6 months ago (edited)
I started feeding this feral soul about 2 1/2 years ago (she's about 31/2 years old now) that I affectionately named "Piper." Now, she lets me pet her, pick here up etc. and has been in the house twice but not for long. I also bought a heated cat shelter for her in the winter, which she does use. I have security cameras around the house so when she comes by, I get notifications. I have a covered carport that my front window looks out onto so I can see my car from the kitchen (the way my place is laid out.) She has somehow figured out how to trip the front door cam to let me know she's out of food by standing on the 2 ft. wall to set off the cam. If I don't answer, she'll hop up on my car hood to trip the carport cam then stares at me through the window like "your a little tardy with the kibble, dude!" Behold "Piper!" 20250602_1...e499f5.jpg

Cuteness Overload!
Fun fact: Not all cats react to catnip.
About 60% of cats have a genetic sensitivity to nepetalactone, while others simply don’t respond.
If your cat doesn’t react, you can try silvervine or valerian, which can have similar effects.

Cat Dad Life
Seadog 6 months ago
Unless it was our late kitty. He weighed 22 pounds. Trust me when I say, you can't press as hard with your thumb as the force exerted by each paw when he walked on you. He wasn't fat, just big (not a Maine C**n). He'd stand on his back feet, put his front paws on the edge of the counter to see what we were doing up there. I had to buy a cement mixing tray and build an enclosure for his litter box because he quickly outgrew the largest one sold in stores. He'd stand in the box but his rear was still outside the enclosure and he'd poop in the floor. He'd then scratch the litter as if he was actually coving up something. And loved water. Start a bath and he'd be in it before you could turn around. We really miss that crazy cat.

And in case you’re worried, you can relax: cats won’t get addicted to catnip or experience withdrawals.
According to PetMD, while cats can build a mild tolerance with frequent exposure, they won’t develop dependence, as endorphins in their body are carefully regulated.
The more you know! Now, if you need a pick-me-up, scroll back to those memes, watch a few cats get silly, and let these whiskered agents of chaos brighten your day once more.

When I worked in the veterinary field we kept "house" cats and one dog. These animals not only provided us comfort after a difficult day (some days could be very depressing) but they also serve as blood donors in the event that a patient needed a blood transfusion, snuggle companions for orphaned babies who were being bottle fed or just general distraction for clients who were anxious about their own pets. These animals were treated like royalty. The best food, care and love. Definitely the unsung heros.

Probably not the entire 10pm to 5pm shift, though. Apparently, my cats (2 cats) start and end their shift up on the bed with me, but during the night they take turns patrolling the rest of the house, having a bite to eat, visiting the cat box, or singing the songs of their people at the top of their lungs—-and I swear cats, even as tiny kittens, have the lungs of elephants when they sing their songs in the wee hours of the morning.
