Can the smell of pot affect a cat?

...

High,
I don't think it's necessarily "cruel" ... but I also don't think it's too "cool" either. tbh.
Good comments so far tho , some cats really do like the Cannabis ... some will even take to the growing plants and chew off a bunch of leaves ;) and as mentioned , some will always come and nest around the general vacinity when the owner is smokin up. Some won't tho ... and either way I don't think it's a decent thing to blow smoke into the cats face (and other pets) ... they are Extremely sensative to it , dogs also.

My old Labrador musta been at least 20kg and 1 breathfull blown slowly into face got it so hammered I started to get worried after a while (was much younger than I am now) ... after a minute or 2 she walked a few metres , went round in small circles a few times then laydown curled up ... didn't wake for hours and legs were twitching a bit ... ofc she was fine but I never blatantly blew smoke at her again as I thought it unfair , she cannot decide the dose and I cannot simply guess what sorta dose she was getting. :)
However , in her latter years she would come close when I lit up ... I figured she liked a bit of it and would just blow in general direction the tiniest puffs and she seemed to dig it (At 17+ I wasn't going to refuse her (always looked dissapointed when all I had was cig haha)

So yeh , for both dogs and cats ... some seem to like it , some don't. They are certainly very sensative to it ... and as for "smelling" it , if you can smell the smoke it means your breathing it in small amounts too , so even just being in a closed room with a pipe going is more than enough to get any pets present stoned ... maybe not the goldfish. :D
I don't know alot about Catnip but i think a greater percentage of cats like Catnip than they do Cannabis ... at least as a growing plant.
Interesting thoughts tho ...

Cheers.
 
My cat comes running everytime he heres my lighter go off, and if my room door isn't open he will sit outside of it and meeeeowww until I let his ass in.

My cat smokes weed evrydhey like luda
 
Our cats come running when we light up. I think they're addicted ;) After we smoke they do one of two things; either they lay and just chill or they are a lot more playful with each other then normal. But I think yes, your cat can get high off the smoke in the room.

One of our cats army crawled across the entire living room one day after a smoking session LOL
 
Is it just an urban myth that cats are unable to break down THC? Apparently if they get stoned, eg by someone blowing smoke in their face, they can never come down. Dunno how much truth there is but the cat in our amsterdam hostel was very fucked up indeed, just sort of dragged itself along the floor, maybe from years of unprocessed thc
 
LOL, this is funny. It's definately not cruel if the cats come running into the room when they hear the lighters going off, or get a whiff of the smoke; that obviously means they enjoy it. (Maybe they just enjoy the extra attention they get, as other people have said.)

It obviously is cruel though if the cat starts "freaking out". I dont much like cats personally, but i wouldnt like to cause them distress either...
 
I've definitely sensed that my cat likes it. In the beginning he'd just be hanging around, then he'd actively seek me out when he knew what was going down.
 
I don't think it's ethical to get a cat stoned not wrong but not ethical.
 
If the cat is coming into the room of its own free will, having learnt what will most likely happen to it, i dont see any problem with the ethics of it.

I suppose the first time it's done, and especially blowing smoke into its face, you could question the ethics of that....

Seems pretty harmless to me though. As long as the cat's not becoming ill or distrurbed.

Has to be a myth, because I've seen cats get stoned, then go sober. You can tell just by looking at them if they are high or not. And most of them DO enjoy it...it is a natural substance you know. An herb which is not only good for us, but for cats also. But one thing I noticed is that they can't handle the smell of bud right in their face, (fresh buds that is, not smoke) They squint their eyes when they smell it, like it's super strong to them or something. But they do go back for more...so they are like little crackheads runnin around meowin all day.

Oh and I dont think it's cruel to blow it towards their face. It's not like it's toxic or harmful smoke. The cat can tell it is an herb when you blow it, therefore the cat will take no offense to it, as long as it enjoys to smoke.

I liken this to heads lining up around the corner the second they hear new testers are out... Still seems kind of cruel to me, even if they've learned to like what you initially forced upon them.
 
Yes. One time, when I was in HS, there was a party. The folks had a kitten and they put the kitten in a clear plastic ball, about the size of a basketball. Then they blew exhaled pot into the ball. They let the kitten out and he could hardly walk. He kept falling over and stuff.
 
mine is a sod for it charlie loves his smoke o yes he comes running when the postie comes and drops my noids of straight upstair on the bed and just sits there as if to say hurry up you . does the same when im smoking a stim like mpa but i wont let him near that stuff . little sod got me in troubble twice this year from being around me when smoking noids left my room fine went down stairs and he could not walk in a striaght line just sat in his bed all day looking mashed
