Cats on Catnip
Cats on Catnip | Andrew Marttila
11 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
A humorous collection of dozens of photos of funny and adorable cats as they play with, roll in, and chow down their favorite snack of choice -- catnip. Cats love catnip. Whether it's eating it, playing with it, or rolling around in it, catnip turns our domestic feline friends into hilarious balls of activity. Carefree and unconstrained, they are free to be silly, exceptionally playful, and downright gnarly. Professional pet photographer and self-confessed crazy cat man Andrew Marttila (the photographer behind Shop Cats of New York) captures a range of the cats' silly and expressive personalities as they react to their catnip trip. Delightful, elegant Fluffy transforms into a hell-bent renegade. Shy, reserved Mittens becomes a free-loving acrobat. In the blink of an eye, a cat's expression transforms from bored to inquisitive to playful to curious to bizarre . . . to utterly unhinged. A fun and delightful look at our furry companions, this gift book is perfect for every cat lover.

A little photography book found & read in my vet‘s waiting room 😂🤪 cats making crazy faces as they roll in and enjoy a little (or huge) nip of nip.

I often can‘t resist pet-themed photography books that are super cheap on book outlet when I‘m placing an order anyway. That‘s how I ended up with this little gem. The title says it all. I‘m feeling inspired to try to get some photos of my little ‘nip fiend, Igor... stay tuned!

Cat lovers- you‘ll “aawwww” and chuckle at these photos, and it‘ll give you lots of smiles and a warm heart.

Soubhiville Bonus- the photographer and his wife are kitten fosters, and most of the cats pictured are former babies they bottle raised, years later in their fur-ever homes. Isn‘t that heartwarming? 4y
AmyG I adore people who foster. They are angels. 4y

Eyelit I‘d like to borrow some day, please and thank you! 4y
TheAromaofBooks The book title reminded me of this video my sister sent me on tumblr 😂 - https://afoolofhope.tumblr.com/post/640320621916651520/thenatsdorf-product-works... 4y
Soubhiville @AmyG me too! I‘ve done it some and it‘s a lot of work. I never had any trouble when it was time to give up kittens or puppies, but I fostered adult Aussies for a while, and it broke my heart every time they found permanent homes. 4y
Soubhiville @Eyelit absolutely! I‘ll add it to your stack 😊 4y
Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks that‘s hilarious! Igor feels pretty much the same about his catnip. @Eyelit , you should watch the video ⬆️ 4y
TheAromaofBooks It's the way the lady trying to take away starts all “haha isn't this cute“ & then by the end the cat is basically in kill mode 😂 4y
MarriedtoMrT He and his partner are awesome Instagram follows: @iamthecatphotographer and @kittenxlady They‘ve got two pigs and two cats they‘re fostering right now ❤️ 4y
LeahBergen Yes, please to Igor on the ‘nip! 😂 4y

How to have fun with your cat: Get her hopped up on catnip and then set down your book bag that has an identical cat face on it. 😀

alisonrose I sooo wish my cat liked catnip because it‘s hilarious when they get all blitzed on it, but she‘s totally unaffected by it! Thanks for playing! 6y
Catsandbooks @alisonrose 2 out of my 3 cats go crazy for it! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Mint is supposed to have similar effects as catnip, maybe try that🐱 6y
alisonrose @Catsandbooks ooh I should! 6y

I had so much fun listening to Hannah talk about TNR and fostering today. You can definitely tell how passionate she is about kittens and just cats in general.

Two worlds that I can't wait to re-enter this year, and one new release that has brought me so much joy.

What books are you looking forward to during the second half of 2018?

thereadingowlvina There are quite a few - Smoke & Iron (Rachel Caine), A Map of Days (Ransom Riggs), The Clockmaker's Daughter (Kate Morton), Dark Tide Rising (Anne Perry) 😁 6y
leahrosereads @thereadingowlvina Wowzers! This is why I love bookish communities. I'm always hearing about new and interesting books I've never heard of. Definitely going to check these out to see if they're up my alley. 😀 6y
Crazeedi I ❤️the cover of cats on catnip! So precious! 6y
leahrosereads @Crazeedi and that's just a taste of the cuteness found within those pages! 6y
