Today, catnip is generally accepted as a harmless stimulant. But a short subject recovered from the Hey Rube Educational Films vault paints a very different picture.
The 1970s-era public service reel cites medical experts who explain that “there are many similarities between the catnip experience and schizophrenia.”
Do you know a kitty who abuses this dangerous and addictive drug? Have them seek professional help immediately.

Cat Sneaks Into NBA Practice With Clever Disguise
The NBA season may be over, but teams are already training for next year. 2012 Western Conference finalists the Oklahoma City Thunder are no exception.
Practice and scrimmages are not open to the public, but one super fan was able to sneak in for a glimpse of his favorite team in pre-season action.
“I thought he was Larry the maintenance guy,” says Burt Ellis, who works security for the team. He unwittingly waved Doug the cat right into the arena without the proper credentials. “It was the beard. It totally fooled me. I’m really embarrassed about it, actually.”

Friends Hold Intervention for Fashion-Challenged Dog
Tina thought she was arriving for a friend’s birthday party. In fact, the event was all about her.
“She dresses like an old lady,” says Melissa Embrey. “We wanted to tell her that we love her, but that she really needs a new wardrobe – possibly a makeover.”
Sources inside the group say Tina was resistant at first, but eventually gave in, and is a much better pup for it.
“We took her shopping,” says Jessica Dreier. “I think she has a lot more confidence now.”

Toronto Cat Confronts Pigeon Nemesis
A 3-year-old cat named Brooklyn has been waiting patiently by the window of a downtown Toronto condo in anticipation of his arch rival, a pigeon named Hank.
“Brooklyn has gone to great lengths to intercept Hank,” says Jamie Geers, a source close to the situation. “There was some phone hacking involved. Let’s just say he knew exactly which window to stalk, and the right time.”
The beef between the two is unclear, though The Fluffington Post has learned of rumors about an ex-girlfriend and a borrowed game of Trivial Pursuit.

Boston Terrier Born Without a Body
In what scientists are calling “some totally crazy s**t,” a torso-less Boston terrier has been discovered in Quebec, Canada. The adorable pup is all head and feet – no abdomen or limbs to speak of.
“Not sure how this little guy is still alive,” says Burt Korman, a geneticist with Harvard Medical School. “Where does he keep his internal organs? How does he move around? Does he just waddle?”
But not everyone in the scientific community is convinced of this genetic miracle. “It’s quite obviously the perspective in the photo that makes him appear this way,” says Nita Lintner, an actual scientist. “You people are pretty dumb.”
