he couldnt get his face close enough to blow a hit into the cats ear for fear of a lacerated visage. they dont say they eventually put the cat down but why would they." humane" societies definatley put down potentially vicious animals as a job description. i personally think that the results of this particular method of medicating a cat is damaging to the cat's ability to function naturally when carried out with frequency and is slightly abusive. i have several friends with cats who ingest weed smoke in different methods ranging from the "box pipe" technique which results in potential permanent emotional damage or even longterm retardation of the cat, tojust blowing a hit or two or three in the ear, which from my experiences just gets the cat nicely baked and contented. i feel its similar to the way a human should expect to react to the different smoking techniques. i dont think the whole "forced hotboxed casket" method would bode very well for a human's psyche development.
from your experiences with cats and herb, cant you tell the ones who have been thuroughly stoned throughout there lives from the ones who havent? my friend's stoney cats deffinately show the similar sort of laid back attitude and range to even the burnt out seeming.
sorry my fav things are kittens and herbb
