Artist injects herself with horse blood plasma, describes the experience as: “I was hyper-powerful, hyper-sensitive, hyper-nervous and very diffident. The emotionalism of an herbivore. I could not sleep. I probably felt a bit like a horse.”

Cat population density chart
I collected as much data as I could find today about cat populations in order to show the relative popularity of cats around the world. I was hoping to find data including stray cats, but that pretty much doesn’t exist.
What I take from this is that Germany and Spain are particularly cat-hating europeans, that the United States is aberrantly cat-philic (and are infecting Canada), and that Japan is not nearly as cat loving as I had thought from cats’ presence in their pop culture. 
I don’t like the way Google Docs does footnotes in published spreadsheets, but they are all there at the bottom.
No word yet on the cat populations of antarctica or space.

Do big cats like catnip?

Yes, very much. All felines are affected the same as domestic cats, which is about 2/3 of them.

Japanese Macaques are really cute. And they’re the furthest north living primate other than us.
They do tricks and throw snow balls.
They love to relax in hot springs, even if they feel guilty about it.
And then they cuddle.
