My cat likes to vape

[djonkoman]

indeed, but in dune, didn't their entire eyes turn blue? (I don't really know of it's specifically named in the book, but from the few shots of the, IMO boring, movie they made out of it the eyes were entirely blue)
but it is just the kind of blue I would imagine with the spice

Many many years ago before I started using grinders and vaporizers I had a beautiful hand carved antique wooden tray that I rolled joints on. I bought the tray in 1969 and used it everyday until 1999.

Christmas eve 1976... I had scored an ounce of Hawaiian right after Thanksgiving on a surf trip to Maui and I was in the process of putting my son's first bicycle together when my wife suggested a "doobie" break.

I grabbed the tray, pulled a "bic lighter sized" bud out of the jar and using scissors, cut up enough for a fatty. I rolled it up and set the tray aside with "Thumb sized" portion remaining on the tray.

We smoked and I finished putting the bike together.... around midnight I decided to roll one to smoke in the hot tub before bed. I went to get the tray and noticed that the bud was gone. I looked around on the floor, asked the old lady if she had moved it and just couldn't find it anywhere. I went to get another bud from the jar and noticed my Irish Setter, "Spanky" laying on the kitchen floor in front of her food bowl. She had bright green debris all over her mouth and lips. The damn dog slept through Christmas Day not even bothering to hover during dinner as was her usual. The whole episode, I realized later, was my own fault. Since the dog was a year old I always gave her my roaches to eat.

Ten years later... same tray, different bud and this time, my cat was the thief. The cat acquired a taste for fresh pot leaves that she snagged from the bottoms of plants in the garden. In this occurrence, the cat actually pulled the tray out from under the couch and stole a 2 gram nug. I came in from outside, saw the tray and immediately blamed my teen aged son (the one I built the bike for 10years prior)... until we saw the cat laying in her bed comatose, covered from head to tail in loose weed. She was okay and like the dog, did nothing but sleep for 36 hours.

My daughter's pet dwarf rabbit always liked when my wife gave him fresh "Greens" too. But he never stole from us.

My black cat Flash (nicknamed pushy pussy for his very loud, insistent meows/ aggressive headbutting for petting) usually appears in the bedroom when he hears the ion start blowing. Think Snoop in Half Baked, the scavenger smoker, his black ass just kind of rises up out of nowhere. And then he sits and stares at you till you gently blow in his direction. he does this sniff, sniff, sniff thing, licks himself and then settles down on the bed with a look of kitty satisfaction. He will also eat any rare leaves that happen to fall, then promptly pukes them up, usually on the floor for me to step in :/ The other two cats could care less. The blonde cat occasionally joins Flash in sniffing but the Main Coon (nicknamed chunky p. fucker @ over 25 lbs could care less. the buns didn't ever seem to be interested, nor the dog when he was around.

in the book, Dune, people's eyes turned blue from using Melange Spice...you think my cat's exposure to herb turned her eyes blue?

Hilaious! I named my cat "Chani" after the Fremen woman Paul Atreides' marries on Arrakis. She looked just like a desert cat (torti) when I sprung her from the pound. I am the Kwisatz Haderach

The other cat I have is Bo (short for Placebo).

...and they love the vape!

My biggest problem is that Placebo is a long hair male calico with a long tail (He's XXY (Klinfelter's Syndrome), only way for a male to be calico). Anyway, his tail is always brushing over my stash. I swear I've lost ounces over the many years. I see him walking away with a tail full of ground Master Kush ATM. Not cool!

im not really a cat person, but that cat is AWESOME! ucla-colored eyes!

I believe that most people who don't see themselves as cat people probably just don't really understand how cats communicate. Cats don't have eyebrows like dogs do - that is, they lack the muscles to make all those easily read humanlike facial expressions of dogs. And of course, they have much more independent mindsets. So you have to learn to read them in other ways.

Here's my trick to make friends with pretty much any but the most neurotic of cats:

You need to show them that you're not a threat, and that you don't feel threatened by it - that you're cool with its presence. So first thing is to lower yourself, so you don't loom over them - crouching down or sitting on the ground is good.

Then make eye contact with the cat for a couple of seconds, then gradually squint your eyes and shift your gaze away. You'll see cats often doing this too, so you can copy their behaviour. This isn't a sign of being aloof and disinterested, but rather a sign that you don't regard them as a threat, so you're relaxed and don't need to keep watching them. Do this, and the cat will most likely come right up to you to say hi.

Then put your hand out for the cat to sniff, and once it's ok with your hand and your scent you can give it a stroke along the neck and back and a scratch under the chin and behind the ears. And let it rub the back of its neck on you, so it can tag you with its scent. Bingo - one cat friend.

And here's a bit more related info - Wikipedia - cat communication


PS pretty much all animals love massage. Not just stroking the fur, but a kneading of the muscles. But of course they would, wouldn't they? And since most pets are much smaller than us, it really isn't much of an effort for us.
