Ur doin it wrong
Seriously though… wtf? He was trying to calm it down? I’m going to go soak my brain in acid now, nothing makes any sense anymore…
I’m a carrot mwahahahaha.
Heh, I read his name as Schmoaker. How appropriate
The one time I’ve actually seen an animal get high was at a party when people blew marijuana smoke into its face. I don’t recall it ever getting shoved into a bong.
My sister rescued a cat from a former friend that regularly blew pot smoke into its face. The poor thing was very sweet, but not quite right – even for a cat, and yes I do realize cats is weird.
“Thou shalt not blow pot smoke into the face of thy pet.” – William S. Burroughs.
No word on whether or not incorporating a cat into a working bong is sanctioned or not.
Well, if the cat is in the bong, you aren’t blowing smoke into it’s face. You’re inhaling the smoke which is getting sucked passed the cat.
Should hold up in the Burroughs Court of Law.
It’s bonsai, not BONGsai kittens, damnit.
Back when we were in high school, a friend of mine decribed someone doing that over the weekend, and said something that’s been burned into my brain ever since: “When you’re trying to get a cat high, it’s a sign that you have way too fucking much pot.” I think it’s a truism.
How is that even possible? I have a hard enough time getting my cat into a car carrier.
Until the deputies removed the cat and collapsed its waveform, it was both stoned *and *normal.
Just give the poor little guy some cheetos.
Thing is … I know a certain little dog who got into a certain person’s stash, ahem… And after a panicked Google search, this certain person discovered that weed is highly toxic to both cats and dogs. This person’s little dog – whose temperature is normally around 101º – had a temp of 97º by the time he got into the emergency vet. The poor dog was twitchy and way freaked, had to be hooked up to a warming IV and was kept all night at the vet. The vets were waiting for him to crash, so they had heart failure meds standing by.
It slows the little critters’ heart rates to the point where they cannot even generate their own body heat and they can eventually drop into a coma, or convulse and die.
I vote for animal cruelty charges. Or at least, I hope that kitty gave him a few good deep scratches while it was being stuffed into the bong. Poor little fella. From now on, he’ll only wear tie-dye that smells suspiciously like patchouli and will refuse to take a shower.
I’m just wondering about the nature of the domestic disturbance call that prompted the cops to show up in the first place… but mostly I’m hoping that Berkeley Breathed sees this article and decides to do an illustration.
I opened this thread and observed your post and at that point you became the winner. Dude.
Gotta second the Best Of Thread.
Yeah, been through that one. Although I thought the family dog had the opposite reaction. I wasn’t there, but the description did not make it sound like she was on the verge of a coma.
Dogzilla what did “your friend” tell the vet?
I bet vets are cool like that. I’d say mine is - he’s got an earring and long hair.
Even us stodgy folks don’t give a good goddamn what you’re putting into your own body–we just want to know for sure what you pet has ingested so we know what to do for it. For the love of all that is holy, if you’re ever in that sort of situation, cut the coyness and the dancing around the issue. Just tell us what the hell your pet got into, so we can get started trying to fix the problem instead wasting time playing guessing games.
Of course, if a pet comes in on drugs, it’s almost always pot. Stoners are the only ones who ever think it’s funny to get the dog/cat/gerbil high–cokeheads and the like are selfish bastards, and there ain’t no way in hell they’re sharing drugs with the pets.
Off topic-Some vets are very cool. I once knew one who frequented the bar I was working at, and after seeing me favor my right hand after a really unpleasant brawl, kindly x-rayed and wrapped my fractured paw (hairline carpal fracture).

Gotta agree with others, Lightnin’ best line of the Thread
This was the e-vet, not (ahem) my friend’s regular vet. My friend said, “My dog ate some pot.” She didn’t say “my pot” or “ate pot in my house.” Just, “some pot.”
Vet asked, “about how much?”
My friend told her (about a quarter ounce).
My friend lives in a college town, so this vet told her that it’s pretty common to get drunk or stoned dogs. It’s usually stupid college students who think it’s funny and don’t realize how dangerous it is to the little critters, but in my friend’s case, it was just stoney carelessness… She just left her stash in reach of the now-tie-dye-wearin’ dog. And she never made that mistake again.
When she went to pick up the dog, the e-vet said, “Well, we don’t have to report this to your normal vet, but we can. Would you like us to?”
And her reply was, “Egad, no, my regular vet would kill me. She doesn’t need to know, as long as there are no long-term effects we need to watch for.”
ETA: What Crazy Cat Lady said. Just blurt it out. They won’t call the cops.
