0:14 - 0:19Even familiar animals indulge in strange activities.
-
0:24 - 0:31Cats from far and wide are irresistably drawn to a seemingly insignificant plant.

0:34 - 0:38In the presence of catnip, they do the unexpected.

0:43 - 0:50[Purring]
-
0:50 - 0:54Cats are strangely addicted to this fragrant herb.
-
0:56 - 1:01They return for a fix of its heady scent again and again.
-
1:06 - 1:10Its aromatic oils make them frisky and playful.
-
1:18 - 1:24As they fall deeper under its influence, their mood changes in other odd ways.
-
1:32 - 1:39As well as rolling around apparently in ecstasy, they chase imaginary mice.
-
1:44 - 1:50This odd behavior is triggered by chemicals resembling those in tomcat urine.
-
1:51 - 1:58Courting females writhe in this provocative way. But strangely catnip affects both sexes.
-
2:01 - 2:04Cats even inherit this sensitivity.
-
2:05 - 2:07Three-quarters are affected in some way.
-
2:11 - 2:19This weird journey shows how natural chemicals influence animal behavior and reveals much about ourselves.
