I read an article recently that said the reason this happened is because the poops are so big it pinches thier arteries so thier blood isnt flowing properly.
This causes some oxygen to not be able to get to the brain effectively so when the artery is no longer being pinched they get all that oxygen very quickly and it makes them mildly high.
Ah yes, the shit high. The dookie dopamine. Crapnip.
I see this propagated on the internet, but I get curious on whether or not it's actually true or something that someone made up and got telephoned around the world.
Probably the latter, because we don't really know. It'd be a tough one to study properly. The prevailing hypothesis (which is nonetheless only a hypothesis) is that pooping stimulates a cat's vagus nerve, causing "fecal elation," a.k.a. poophoria.
Yeah I don't measure fecal sizes from my animals usually but I feel like the cat does it near Everytime, even the rate occasion he's constipated and can't poop.
When he had a UTI I feel like he did it after he couldn't pee as well.
this explains the orange. he likes getting high and holds it.
My dude. You know this isn't a word, right?
Everytime, also out of curiosity... Why the hate for that when the message also says rate instead of rare? Clearly I wasn't checking what text showed up when I typed it.
