Andrew Marttila has been a professional animal photographer for the
past five years and most of that time has been dedicated to
photographing cats exclusively. With his set-up he's able to cap
ture wonderful split-second images of'cat's most abandoned
expressions as they enjoy every cats favourite treat, catnip.
Andrew res cues and raises orphan kittens with his partner Hannah
Shaw (the internet's famous Kitten Lady), and many of the models
were hand-raised by Andrew and Hannah from newborns. Catnip, or
Nepeta cataria, grows wild in many parts of the world and is
extremely easy to grow at home in most climates. It's part of the
mint family and contained within the bulbs, stems, and leaves is an
oil called nepetalactone. Once eaten, rolled on, or crushed, the
oil binds to the cat's nasal receptors and stimulates a response
that affects a number of areas in the brain, includ ing the
hypothalamus and amygdala, two regions that are key in regulating
emotional and behavioral responses to stimuli. This produces a mild
euphoric effect and typically lasts about ten to twenty minutes.
Catnip is non-addictive and harmless and provides a temporary
respite from your cat's gruelling workload of napping all day.
