Purchase options and add-ons

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.

    If you're looking for a gift for the crazy cat person in your life, Cats on Catnip is a must-own for any cat lover! Filled with hilarious photos of cats doing what they do best--being cats! I'm the servant of three fuzzy overlords and the pictures are so relatable and adorable. Andrew captures the best and funniest moments for each feline and the results are pure, blissful kittyness. Anyone who has ever experienced a cat on catnip will understand the humor, silliness, and mayhem these creatures can cause when the kitty hooch kicks in! But the love isn't limited to only cat lovers. Anyone who enjoys the simple joy of sharing their life with a companion animal--cat, dog, ferret, bird, fish, goat, pig, whatever strikes your fancy--will enjoy the beautiful photography and utter bliss captured in this book.

    If you follow Hannah (@kittenxlady) on Instagram, you quickly see that she has an extraordinary job of fostering kittens and teaching others how to foster (if you're not on Instagram, and you're a cat lover, make an instagram account just for these two, you won't regret it!). Then, there's her partner, Andrew (@iamthecatphotographer) who professionally takes cat photos and the best Instagram live stories! What ensues is endless awwwww's in a day as you scroll the Instagram. This is a perfect coffee table book for cat lovers, with its vibrant photos and extraordinary close-ups. My daughter and I flipped through it last night, and she asked for her own copy so she can look at the pictures before she goes to bed! We'll be introducing the book to our cats with catnip tonight! Thank you Andrew for such a FUN book!

    I love this book and think it makes a great gift too. Every cat owner knows how their beloved cat reacts to catnip and most of us have thought about taking pictures but usually after the fact. Andrew has done a fantastic job of capturing the unique characteristics of each cat with very humorous results. You don’t have to be a cat person to enjoy this book, these images will make you smile at the very minimum and for cat lovers you might recognize some of the cat subjects and see some of your own cats behavior in the images as I do. Andrew is a great photographer and cat lover. He kindly shares his own cat’s reactions as well and they don’t disappoint. Everyone will find a favorite in this book.
