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.

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

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

I miss this. I started driving a school bus a couple of years ago and now I can’t roll around in catnip any more.

Is there a catnip for dogs?

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

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.
