- Something that isn't widely know is that _cats_ do secrete DMT through
- tiny pores in their skin. This is the primary reason that cats spend
- so much time licking their fur. Cats don't want to be clean! They just
- want to get high. Clean fur is merely a fortunate side-effect.
-
- Some of the local kids here are rumored to have been licking cats for
- kicks. The real junkies are usually caught coughing up fur balls near
- the Humane Society...
