No, not cat piss but beta-ketoamphetamine.

A recipe for MDCAT is there, and the fact that N,N-dimethylcathinone is no less potent than MCAT...whereas N,N-dimethylamphetamine is far less potent as compared to N-Me-AMP (METH).

Looks like no special steps were taken to prepare MDCAT...so perhaps it is not as hard as once envisioned. On the other hand, animal tests seem to indicate it isn't any more potent than MDMCAT...perhaps even less so. But it DOES appear to have some MDMA-like activity while lacking amphetamine-like actions (a good thing I'd think). I'd definitely love to taste as I rather love MDMCAT.

couldn't any of these cathinones be made by oxidizing the amphetamine? (ie: MDA+KMnO4=MDCAT?)
 
LOL! Very nice paper indeed. Has anybody noticed, that it's published by a DEA-lab? Thx guys! Interesting synth indeed

Oxidation with KMnO4 in presence of a secondary aldehyde and the dioxolan? Ummmm... :(
 
Still wondering why there aren't more of those cathinone (beta keto) analogs of famous substituted amphetamines...
