If I ever forced these two assholes of mine to get high they would rip my face apart, and then piss all over the house.

I blew two hits in my cat's face, she's an older cat and was getting thin/not eating much. I'm glad to say she's a fucking hefer now and loves smoke blown in her face. she'll seek me out if she wants a toke.

Cat-abusing Cracker!

LOL, man - I remember being called an animal-abuser in all these "can pets get high" threads back in the day.

After hospicing BOTH my elderly cats over the past two years (one with end-stage lymphoma, and the other with hyperthyroid-enduced anorexia) I can tell you they not only got elevated, but ate and enjoyed some pain-relief in their final days.

some people are idiots, how is it forcing if you blow the hit in their direction? If they dont like it they would leave. My cat comes around as soon as I grab my piece and gets in my lap, hes knocked many books with broken up weed on them off my lap! Plus most thc is absorbed in your lungs so they're not getting too much.

He runs at the first smell of tobacco though. Smart kitty

My cat loves all plants, when I chop down my male plants I give them to him and he loves them.

I know for a fact a cat knows it's getting high.
I've raised over 40 cats in my life time... 2 cats of those 40 I still have today. One is a half tonkinese and she is also 17 years old. The Other is 7 Years old some mix breed named Hoagie.

The 17 year old is starting to show her age... lack of eating, lack of movement. Also Wheezing in her sleep and it concerns me considering her life span is coming to an end.

Now when I smoke weed she will come out of her deep slumber ( 7 Plus Hours ) To come enjoy the smoke around me when I smoke. I will call her name before I smoke myself and she will appear, Jump next to me, Purr and meow her name (Her name is Roo and over the years she has changed her meow to simulate her name... no shit) Till she is content and then goes back to sleep.

The 7 year old I raised myself and when I am smoking his eye's will widen so they are completely black and run away to the farthest place he can... he hates it with a passion and I respect that.

Every cat has there own personality and chooses what it thinks is best for itself..... Believe me I have raised more than 90% of the country.

Also the 17 cat Roo is blind in one eye. I'm not sure if it helps relieve it and that could be why she likes it.

I had a cat once that would actually swat at you if you didn't blow smoke in it's face.

Animal cruelty is only Animal cruelty when the animal is being tortured, who gives a fuck if it's getting high, if it enjoys it, who cares.

As for young people who torture animals turning out to be psycho's, well, if that was the case, than thousands and thousands of males the world over would be psychotic. Damn near every one of us had experiments when we were kids, it's called growing up.

All because of 2 or 3 psycho's who happened to be animal abuser when they were younger, now anyone who abuses an animal is a psycho in the making?

Sorry no, that's not how it works. While I don't agree with abusing animals in any way, the act most certainly does not definitively determine the mental stability of a person. Many biology scientist's started off cutting up frogs, rats, hamsters, most likely, ALL pets and at a young age. Yet their not psycho's, their scientist's.

I guess it all depends on what your abusing the animal for that determines if your likely to be psychotic at a older age...

(note sarcasm)

Yep... like I said before, when a cat comes up to you and INSISTS on sharing your bounty, that's hardly forcing anything and it certainly isn't cruel.

IF my older photos are still intact on this site, you'd be hard-pressed to find a single one of me with my bong where my dearly departed B&W male "Rugby" isn't right by my side trying to "score" a puff for himself! That guy would follow the bong around some of the largest circles we ever participated in... more than a dozen people, and he'd want to share a hit with every one of them!

When he'd had enough, he was just done. He'd walk away and go do his own thing. Once he was diagnosed with end-stage lymphoma, the Volcano Vaporizer provided much comfort to him; helped him eat and eased his pain in his final week. He passed at 15.5 years old. Not too bad for a "barn stray."

His female litter-mate, Cricket, was pretty ambivalent about cannabis prior to her last few months. If it wasn't too smokey, she'd hang around wherever she was before we'd sparked-up, but didn't want any blown in her general direction. If/when the smoke bothered her, she simply relocated out of the line of that fire.

Once her kidneys started failing at age 17, she came around to share. She developed severe arthritis, and even became anorexic as a result of a thyroid condition. Cannabis made her comfortable and stimulated her appetite which slowed her wasting. It was finally time to put her down at 17.75 years of age in December. Cannabis allowed us to spend nearly an additional year with her in relative peace, but when it was her time, she clearly let us know and we respected that.

We also respect our final cat, Shadow and her absolute aversion to cannabis (or any) smoke. She has zero interest and leaves us to toke in peace. She's never liked to be around when anyone sparks it, so she'll go off and do her own thing until everyone's finished. She's 10 years old and we hope to have many more fine years with her, even though she's not a stoner
When she eventually needs palliative care, cannabis will not be in the protocol unless she does a complete 180. One less tool in our arsenal, and unfortunately the likely cause of a very short hospice period for her. It's her choice though, and we will respect it as we always have for ALL involved.

We're all about compassion and choice (even for cats), but NEVER cruelty.

Now that's what I mean.

As for the cruelty to animals thing, I've done a few things, things I'm not proud of by any stretch of the imagination, I once took my goldfish, stabbed it, and told my mom to cook it, because I was under the impression that fish were meant to be fried and eaten.

We have to consider that children in particular don't truly know right from wrong, we have to teach them, that's our jobs as parents to teach them, for anyone that knows better than to treat animals a certain way, or force something on them, yet still do it anyway, then there's an issue.

IMO
