Dex for house cats?

I love cats, and Mr. Socks (landlord of Old Lady H) is my favorite.

Mr Soxy Boxy and I training hard for Rocks season this morning.

More photos of cats plz.

Succeeded?  You can have a full on psychedelic experience.  It's a nasty experience, IMO.  Especially compared to the variety of alternatives.  Even if you factor out the other crap in Robitussin and get something that is just DXM.

OMG no! That crap is bad enough at the recommended dosage which can give me heartburn and/or nausea.

I had no idea. And I lived through the smoking banana peels era!

Animals metabolize most drugs differently then humans, effective dosages vary widely, some are ineffective, and other drugs, safe for humans, could be toxic to another species. For instance, the effective dosage of benadryl, for 60# dog, is roughlyt triple what most humans take.

oh come on, man!

The dex at issue

Some of you are clearly not high altitude types...

Cats name is biner?  Sounds racist.
Did you mean boner?

Before it was outlawed in Southern Iowa, Sparkle Paws and I used to climb daily. He never missed a catch!

Fritz, Fritz, Fritz...  Unfortunately, I think it's time for an intervention...

Pictures of goats: brilliant!
Pictures of a cat: well, maybe ok, I guess, since some people do claim they actually like cats....
Pictures of a cat on a leash: ohh, that's just kinda weird....
Picture of someone climbing a slab:  dude, I beseech you, get help...

Goats with cats... can only result in one thing...

I used to be a dog person, but my brother's terrier-mutt has already tried to kill my tabby and pissed on the fucking carpet. The cat has not once pissed on anything but cat litter and bothers no one.

I really need to get my cat a gun that he can operate with his cat paws. I'm thinking a .22 would be adequate, but a larger caliber might intimidate the dog more. Anyone have some recommendations?

That’s gonna leave a mark.  Must have been on catnip.
