- Item 1: All cats which I know of which are affected by catnip
- (some aren't, I'm told it's hereditary) will eagerly seek it out.
- I have had cats try to rummage in my pockets for a forgotten
- catnip toy, and I was NOT lying on the floor! They will do this
- until they reach saturation or tolerace. It is my impression,
- based on observation, that catnip affects cats much the same whay that
- MJ affects humans.
-
- Item 2: The cats I have know have been very definite about what they
- liked or didn't like, and would let anyone around know it. They also
- would go looking for things they liked while avoiding things they didn't.
- I have seen at least one of these cats (OK, half kitten) hang around
- its owner and stay put to have MJ smoke blown in his face.
-
- Item 3: I have known one very freaky cat, easily spooked and generally
- jumpy, whose condition was (so I was told) due to having been fed magic
- mushrooms by a previous owner. I can understand this . . . . With
- no way to have the situation explained, I'd be freaked too. I wouldn't
- feed acid or shrooms to a "dumb beast". I might make an exception
- for something like a spider. (I'm told they spin semi-random webs.)
-
- Item 4: I wonder if my rabbit's cellulose-digestion ability would
- let him get high from eating pot? Maybe I should beg some stems off
- someone sometime, and find out.
