Cheap thrills

Hey duuude...my cat's a stoner, man. She doesn't prefer the usual feline drug of choice, catnip, but rather the selective lack of oxygen to get her high.

That's right, our cat chooses to cut off her oxygen to get a high. Or at least that's what we think.

She will intentionally flop her head over the edge of a basket, bucket or other container, move her neck around until she's comfortable, and wait until she starts to gag from putting pressure on her trachea, then she'll step back and choke a bit. Once is never enough. Two or three times is her norm, sometimes more. Often we have to intervene and stop her. All the while she has a "yeah baby" look about her.

Apparently catnip is out of her price range.
