Just wondering if anyone else has a cat that goes crazy for snuff. Mine has taken to jumping on my desk and attacking my snuff boxes. I recently sprinkled a tiny bit of W.E. Garrett on a piece of paper and she went nuts for it. First she sniffs it up then licks the paper. This is followed by an intoxicated state of rolling around and pawing her face. Soon after she goes bonkers and attacks the dog. Now I know this isn’t good for the animal and I assure you I don’t give her very much or let her take it often as it would probably make her sick or even be toxic. However, the few times I’ve witnessed it were quite amusing and I’m wondering if anyone else has seen a pet go after their snuff. In the military there were some guys that would give a small pinch of dip to their dogs now and then but I was reluctant to let mine have any in case it made them ill. Might this be a natural flea repellant as well? In any case, a little bit is funny but please don’t poison your pets.
My dads cats are always intrigued with my nose after I’ve had a pinch… never seen a cat actually take snuff though!
Too bad you didn’t get it on video. I wouldn’t recommend doing it again for entertainments sake though.
Lol, great minds think alike I guess!
Beginning to think the Dog licks up my spills. She does do a lot of sniffing my nose after a pinch. Same thing with my mouth if I have dip in. I think the only effect it would have on the Cat would be an ongoing Nicotine addiction. Scariest thing on earth to me would be a Cat going through a Nic fit!
If I come home and my kitty has on a waistcoat, he can have all the snuff he wants.
My cat tried to lick up some Gletscher Prise I dropped on the ground once, though I stopped her from doing it. Otherwise she ignores it.
I’ll try to catch it on video for youtube next time. I just hope I don’t OD the poor thing and make her sick.
Or kill her.
Ive got three but none have really expressed an interest. The older one smokes a pipe.
It can join Snuff Head’s cat that was seen smoking… something…
I used to have horses when I lived in Texas. They loved to eat Red Man Chew. Tobacco is actually good for some animals, particularly horses. It kills heart worms. Considering snuff doesn’t have all the chemicals/additives other tobacco products have, it may not be all that bad for cats and dogs. In moderation, of course.
I’ve mentioned this on other threads before, but my stepdad always keeps some W.E. Garrett Sweet and Mild in the horse trailer. One of our horses, Sunny, loves the stuff. If she is being skittish about getting into the trailer, he’ll grab a twig and wet it a little then dip it into the tin of garrett. He uses that to coax her into the trailer and every once in a while he will just give here some as a treat. Of course, she licks the twig it’s on, I’ve never seen her get any up her nose 
In larger animals such as Horses and Cattle it very well may be fine. But in a small animal such as felines or canines, it would be deadly if too much was given. And too much would probably only be a little bit.
My cats hate the smell of snuff even through the tin. When they’re sitting on my lap and I take a pinch and a little bit sprinkles around them, they’ll take off like a cat out of hell.
I think that it is the menthol. My cat love McC O&G, ,mint toothpaste, gum, etc. I believe catnip is in the mint family, no?
Catnip does have menthol in it.
thats crazy u really need to film it next time if u can but give it something easy ,try not to let it get a hold of any scotches!
you could give the cat herbal snuff next time and definitely youtube that shit.
catnip is a mint. When I got my last package from mr snuff my neighbors cat (who visits everyday for lap time) was waiting on the porch and when I put the box on down to open it she was really into smelling the box. I let her smell each tin of it and she seemed to hate them all except the dholakia ganga which she couldn’t stop smell. My first cat once ate a huge pinch of red man the funny thing is I thought it would make him sick or act funny he acted like him self which actualy is a lot like spyros cat. Of course this cat got lung cancer in his old age(he was an old cat) maybe he was already smoking at that time and that is the reason he always wanted to go out side. Interestingly he hated the smell of all snuffs but liked some pipe tobacco (never ate it just smelled it)
