Am I missing something? I don't see anything in there about smoking around your pet, just pets getting into edibles, eating concentrates or flowers, etc. Obviously you shouldn't blow smoke in your pet's face or hotbox with them, but I don't see anything that suggests vaping or smoking with an air purifier running or a window open and not letting them access the weed itself is harmful for them.

Right in the beginning, the article mentions that inhaling secondhand smoke can be bad for cats.

I appreciate you not just being an "omg you didn't read the article!!!!!!!" poster. And giving the info the op needed.

People miss stuff when reading. I know I do. Also, it is potentially helpful information for cats, which I am not at all opposed to spreading.

Thanks, I was looking under the section that lists cannabis products that are toxic to cats, which doesn't mention secondhand smoke at all.

Indeed, get a vaporizer!

Please reconsider spreading misinformation and half-truths; this only leads to fear-mongering and does not help anyone.

What a vibe

Too accurate but have to add week days in there also

Is there a catnip for dogs?

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No. Catnip triggers some cat-specific pheromone receptors if I recall.

Which can be different in differnet cats. Some barely react, others will roll around in a plant until it dies.

Luck of the draw.

Hilariously, my littermate cats are opposites, one doesn’t notice it at all, while his brother absolutely goes wild for the stuff. So cat 1 just sits there all judgmental watching cat 2 roll around

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

There are two closely related species: Catnip (Nepeta cataria) and Catmint (N. racemosa). If your cat isn't attracted to one, there's a good chance they will be triggered by the other.

I bought a catnip plant, the real 0lant in a pot not dried herb. This plant smels so strong! you get 1 leaf at a time and they go insane

Don't smoke around your pets- it's worse for their lungs.

But like by all means smoke, just do it outside.

Also I love cats

I’m in this picture, and it’s dope.
