Comment on My cat just came home smelling like weed. What should I do?
EleventhHour@lemmy.world 1 month agoMy cat was like this at first, but then I blew the smoke near him, and he went over, took a sniffy sniff, then came back and laid back down on me.
Turned out, he just like it blown in his face because that was too much. So, from then on, I just blow it near him, and he takes his hits when he feels like it.

As much as I’d love to have my cats smoke with me, I think it’s toxic for them. Sadge. :(

They’re all allergic?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 month ago
No, allergies happen when the immune system detects innocuous substances as a threat. In this case, their metabolism has trouble breaking down the drugs in their gut so it can have unintended consequences for them. They can’t metabolize some organic structures in their livers or lungs as fast or as much as we do. And unfortunately, we don’t even know what the toxic dose is.

Theoretically that’s possible, but what makes you think that cannabinoids would have that effect on a cat? What do you have of this?
