Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted May 16, 2012 Members Share Posted May 16, 2012 i think our cat is addicted to 2nd hand smoke- or shes just a bitch. since we got the new house we only smoke outside and shes always really pushy about us going out all the time, meow this yeeeooooowww! that. at first i figured she was just enjoying her new space, its a really sweet large screened in patio but now im not so sure. pretty often shell just plop down in front of us while were smoking, like shes in flavor country. can cats become chemically dependent of 2nd hand smoke?

Members Amigo Posted May 16, 2012 Members Share Posted May 16, 2012 it's very likely, cats tend to have this personality, (catnip and wahtnot) I also had some friends in highschool where whenever they smoked weed their cats would get in there and sit above the couch and bask in the weed smoke. They loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lucid origami Posted May 16, 2012 Members Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think cats or any mammal can develop a nicotine addiction but the levels in second hand smoke are not at a magnitude where it would present itself. I'd imagine the attribute having the greatest effect on your cat is that cigarettes smell like wet butt and house pets love that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on the concentration administered to the pet but I would imagine your cat just wants to be around you. It may actually associate the smell of cigarettes (i.e. wet butt) to you and the missus though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Urinate Forever Posted May 16, 2012 Members Share Posted May 16, 2012 My cat stays outside during most of the day time so he always sits next to me when I smoke. Not in a fiendish way, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lucid origami Posted May 16, 2012 Members Share Posted May 16, 2012 do you ever offer your cat a treat only to pull it away at the last second so you can grind your cigarette butt in its little pock-marked face I'm just trying to get a visual of what's going on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ItchyFingers Posted May 16, 2012 Members Share Posted May 16, 2012 Its probably not a big deal, Pickles. However, if the cat starts stealing smokes while you and Mrs. Picklebottom are out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted May 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2012 How long have you been in the new house? Did the previous owner have pets? like 5 months, i have no idea what the previous owner was up to other than not paying their bills. i have no reason to think the previous owners pets were smokers.

Members Brown, Charlie Posted May 17, 2012 Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 Dunno about cats... but my dad definitely turned my chihuahua/chow mix into a pothead. He would lay under the table and take weed-naps. Also had a naturally growing white spikey mohawk on top of his head since he was a pup. I miss that dog dearly.
