Full-time feline photographer Andrew Marttila from Washington, D.C., captured blissful expressions of various cats on catnip, which he used to compile a book, “Cats on Catnip”. The photographer dedicated his time to capturing the euphoric expressions of kitties high on catnip – and the results are absolutely hilarious. After Andrew discovered his roommate’s cat’s affinity for catnip, the then hobby photographer attempted to capture kitties’ amusing facial contortions with his camera phone.
