A British man named Nathaniel shared a hilarious and heartwarming incident that happened at his workplace, where a tabby cat unexpectedly broke into a garden greenhouse and indulged in catnip with pure delight.
Nathaniel explained that his workplace has a garden greenhouse intended as a relaxing spot for employees to take walks and unwind. One day, however, he witnessed a rather wild scene: a tabby cat he had never seen before had somehow entered the greenhouse. The cat targeted a catnip plant that had already been knocked over and began greedily inhaling it. The cat's blissful expression had everyone who saw it bursting into laughter.
Posting on Reddit, Nathaniel recounted how he discovered the greenhouse had apparently been broken into during work hours. Curiously, the door was firmly shut, so the intruder must have jumped in through the skylight on the roof. Approaching the greenhouse, he found the unfamiliar tabby cat inside, completely out of control as it ravenously devoured the catnip. The cat's face was full of ecstasy, and it showed no interest in humans approaching it.
Nathaniel noted that while he often sees many cats around during work, he had never encountered this particular tabby before, nor one so brazen as to break in and feast on the catnip so enthusiastically.
The amusing footage and images of the cat "flying high" on catnip quickly went viral, with many online commenters sharing their amusement. Some joked about throwing stones at the cat if anyone hadn't experienced such a "high", while others praised the cat's joyful demeanor and its indifferent glance at humans.
Catnip, a herb known scientifically as Nepeta cataria, contains a compound called nepetalactone that triggers euphoric reactions in many cats, causing behaviors ranging from playful excitement to blissful relaxation. The effects typically last 5 to 15 minutes and are harmless, though overindulgence can cause mild stomach upset. This incident perfectly illustrates the irresistible allure catnip holds for felines and the amusing antics it can inspire.
