Hilarious and obviously inspired by ever-popular [cat memes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catgpt), catnip focused PSAs have been making the rounds on the web. Focusing on the sanctioned and safe plant given to cats, this meme demonstrates what happens when cats get on the ‘nip.

Playing off ‘I Can Has Cheezburger’ and many [substance abuse PSAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocean-berlin), this set of parody ads are wonderfully over-the-top and viral-ready. Most of the memes, which feature cats practicing standard but generally strange behavior, are reframed as warning signs of [catnip abuse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/take-your-cat-to-the-vet). Ridiculously simple, it’s remarkable how funny these mocking photos are.

The catnip-focused PSAs, sure to resonate with anyone with even a slightly crazy critter at home, is a hilarious remix on feline memes.
