Washington D.C.-based photographer Andrew Marttila quite possibly has the best job ever. Known as “The Cat Photographer,” he dedicates himself to capturing the playful, adorable, and often hilarious personalities of our feline friends. And for his latest project, Marttila reveals what happens to cats when they’re “high” on catnip.

Compiled into a book, titled CATS ON CATNIP (https://www.runningpress.com/titles/andrew-marttila/cats-on-catnip/9780762463671/), the funny photo series sees a variety of kitties react to their catnip trip and turn into free-loving, saucer-eyed pussycats. Marttila reveals, “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.”
