Cats ever eat your leaves?

Supposedly it’s the thc that’s “toxic” to cats. So leaves in veg shouldn’t be an issue right?

My cat Tigger used to love the leaves and ignore bud. Never seemed to hurt him, but I did limit him to one a day.

One of my cats will help herself to leafage anytime I let her in the flower tent. I let her have at it, should be no different than them eating grass or something.

Figures… never ask a corporation (chatgpt, webmd, google) if weeds safe for “anything”. Propaganda to protect corporate profits every time. Thanks yall! Tigger was a cool cat @DougDawson :100:

I believe it’s true that THC can be toxic to cats. Other than the pic I showed, I didn’t let Tigger near buds. Just smaller fan leaves that were not covered in trichomes. I am certainly not a vet though. While Tigger never showed any adverse effects, I would keep exposure to a very small amount of non trichomed leaves.

I don’t have a cat but my dog isn’t even slightly interested.

Got an f4 savanna that has a routine of hanging out at night during plant maintenance. He will wait patiently outside the tent since lights have UV diodes and chirp till he gets his fan leaf treats, then he wants up on the warm tent to sleep in the cardboard box he has now claimed as his throne. Last bengal cat established dominance with wild pack of turkeys and like 20 would follow her around the farm, she would ask to go out to the dep at night and in the morning would find she had been busy all night slaying intruders…that one wasn’t a fan of the herb though. Had an amazing pitty though that loved getting stem kickdowns from the trim scene and would chew them up for and go sun bear for hours.

My regretted Chartreux was born with the FIV activated, the mother died in giving birth. I took him for an unexpected long ride at this moment. A singularity from the start to the end.

He wasn’t only eating fresh or dried buds, he also stole them. He got spaced surgeries (this shit attack teeths badly) but he’s dead at 12 years in good shape, if i can say this. And with a stunning fur ^^ He wasn’t supposed to pass more than his first year.

Now most of cats will lost all interested with a pot or twos of herbs specifically planned for them : mint (one stone two birds), “catnip”(i favor wheat), valerian …

Do Cats Have Cannabinoid Receptors?

Cannabinoids are compounds found in cannabis plants. The most notable and intoxicating cannabinoid is THC. Cannabinoid receptors respond to certain cannabinoids to certain degrees. Cats have cannabinoid receptors just like humans. In fact, there are two cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) found in all mammals (humans, cats, dogs), birds, reptiles, and fish.

This Little prince loves his greens…even helps with picking out outliers. will bring the plants out in a line and he’ll let me know which are his favorite’s. males that dont make the cut get left out for him and he’ll just strip them over a couple days. Dude likes sitting in my lap when in trim jail too, he’s a fan.
