Cats
Tripping with pets can indeed be great fun. I do, however, have a couple weird experiences,and one piece of caution.
As far as appearance while on drugs go, I have a brown tabby, hes 14 years old and has been a huge part of my life for over half my life, (its kinda crazy to think about that when in that state of mind) but he always appears to have a much more golden glow/tint to him when I'm under the influence, truly a beautiful creature. One time tho I was deep in the lysergic and feeling in tuen with him and he wanted to just lay (as usual) where he thought was most comfortable, i.e. all up in my face while i was trying to read comics. It was cool at first, i felt the connection and just wanted to make him happy, hey he's not around as long as we are and all, so I'm beginning to think it's our jobs tomake them as happy as possible while they are here. But I eventually was uncomfortable with how he was laying and all up in my shit. I wound up in this hour long internal dialogue over control between pet owner and pet, and imposing one's will over the other etc. it was very weird and I think it could have something to with my reading material at the time influencing my thoughts (Grant Morrison's The Invisibles) Very weird.
One piece of caution-I like to really brake up my shrooms, kinda chew just a little and swallow with water. One draw back to this is that it creates a whole bunch of dust and particulate that can get everywhere if you're not careful. I always make sure my cat is nowhere near, and that I wash my hands and any surfaces he can come in contact with before letting back into the mix. It wouldn't take much; powder on your hands that gets in his fur and he ingests when washing himself, little chunks here and there in places where he might normally go scavenging for meat scraps etc. to F them up a little.
Anyone else do that? or am I just paranoid? Tl;dr?
