Cat on catnip
What does it mean "lay on the catnip"? I found it as a title to picture, but don't know, what it means.

There was written: This is why he needs to lay off the catnip.

Thank you :)

Answer

If you 'lay off' something it means stop using it, particularly if it is something addictive e.g. 'lay off the alcohol.'

'Catnip' is a plant that intoxicates cats - a kind of pussycat drug. I'm guessing that this is one of those internet photos of a cat doing something funny. The joke is that the animal is 'high' on catnip.
