We all know what happens when house cats get catnip, but do big cats have the same reaction? Take a look at this video of tigers and other bigs cats enjoying a bit of catnip.
same thing that happens to people when they get marijuana

Wow! That was cool! To the person with the negative comment, “Get a life!” They can kill a Gazelle and eat it. You really think a paper bag will choke them but, a Gazelle rib won’t.

I like the video. Too cute. I just wonder why there is like early 90’s porno music playing.

A stoned cat of any size is still cute. I have seen my own cats do the same thing when given catnip.

Just like my little four legged little black panther, in my house. He goes nuts about catnip.

Yay. another for poachers to lure the big cats and get them all doped up. whoever did this “experiment” is an idiot.
Yeah… one of these big cats can swallow an 8 pound chunk of wildebeest in one gulp. Hard to believe they’re going to choke on a scrap of paper. Awesome video, though!

I agree that the negative comments are just not needed here. All the big cats I saw spit out the paper to get to the ” good stuff”. This video just shows they all are similar to house cats in many ways. Watching this made me smile.

I used to have a pet cougar, he showed no interest in catnip. I presently have a bobcat, and neither does he.
looks like what happens to domestic kitties: most become happy and mellow, but a few become agitated, and way less than mellow and loving (ie: could get ticked-off very easily, into grab, attack and bite mode). The black cat (panther) looked like one of those that become edgy instead of mellow.
I had a Cat that went Bonkers when we gave her some. The Vet said never give a CAT – CATnip. say what?? Years later I had a Cockerpoo ( I think he was really a goat) he ate any paper or tissue, one time he ate a whole intact pkg of gum, the Vet said he must be crazy!! That’s so bad, it could get all twisted up i their intestines, they could even die. BAD NEWS…………………..
Seriously, loved seeing the big cats in such euphoria that they behaved like cubs. As for choking on the paper, they crunch up the bones of prey. You can’t possibly think paper is a “choking hazard for these big guys.

Uh, Anne-that cat can tear an animal apart and swallow its limbs and huge chunks of it whole-I really don’t think it’s going to get a little paper bag stuck in its throat. We’re not talking a housecat here….

Yeah, my husband acts the same way when he gets a bag with green grass !!!! Yeah right! tooooooo funny.
Lovely!!! Thanks for the video of big cats & catnip. :o)
Anyone else thinking that giving huge effective meat eating predators the munchies might have some difficult side affects?
I wanna PaRRRtyyy with Sabre!!!
Surprised they didn’t try to crawl in the paper bag, too!!
Next time I go to the zoo, I’m bringing catnip – without the paper bag.
great video! my cat loves to roll his head around in it too!!!
Kitten mode in 3….2….1….
