My kitty likes it

[LadyPamela]

I have a 6 month old cat who, before I quit analogs 2 months ago, would get wide eyed, ears back and run away if I blew smoke her way. She is always on my lap or the arm of the chair/couch next to me and I blew vape at her. What did she do? Lifted her head, stuck her nose in the cloud, and sniffed away. Didn't bother her a bit and she seems to enjoy smelling it.

Don't know if you know it or not, eliquid will kill an animal fast!
Vapor, Im not sure of, but wouldnt take the chance.
Please dont let them near juice.

^ same thing; my cat was really annoyed by analogs, but she seems to love the vapor from my ecig

No problem with that. It's not in a place that she can get to it. I'm just a bit surprised that she doesn't mind it. Even she knows it's not that bad other stuff.

Some people aren't comfortable even vaping at all in the same room as/around their pets.

My personal conclusion (after seeing another really good thread about this same topic) was that its okay for me to use my PV around my cat, but not to purposely blow vapor in his face (evidently cats can possibly have a bad reaction to PG that might be specific to cats)

 

[McWhat]

I'm going to agree with Whistler. There was a drawn out thread that revealed that PG is pretty toxic to cats. And the nicotine isn't good for them either. I'm taking a few extra precautions as far as storage and handling goes, and making sure to blow upwards and away from mine. If you're using VG, that's actually an ingredient in cat treats, so less danger.

well oreo has been around me smoking and vaping, this little cat knows the difference, and since may has become more "i sitz here with you now" than when i analoged.

yes, there is a problem with PG and cats, so i am more careful than i would be with a mere kid(hate em) (kids that is) so when i drip, i shoo her away, she seems to know to wait till i wipe up the little space and my hands up, comes right back. if i vape while watching tv in bed, (yes, i`ve become one of those 70% of people that have pets, their pet sleeps in the bed) she stare at the clould, but has not even try to sniff it.

[...]if i vape while watching tv in bed[...]

This brings up another oft overlooked benefit to 'vaping' over smoking.. we can safely vape in bed!

The other I don't see talked about all that much is the whole general lack of burn holes in clothing, carpets etc, no more fire hazard with PVs -- and that's a really important one

I never was silly enough to try smoking analogs while laying down (I was already plenty enough of a menace with analogs while sitting upright and alert) but I have on occasion laid on my couch and vaped, have been known to carry a PV with me to bed (but to take one inhale then mostly to just hold onto it in one hand under my pillow while I lay on my side to go off to sleep, not really sure what's up with that lol)


sorry for the derail just had to throw that in...

back to cats:

Now that I am a non smoker and a PV/snus/nasal snuff etc etc person instead, mine is more clingy/ my relationship with my massive fat furball (all 16 lbs of him!)l has improved greatly (well, certainly from his perspective perhaps a bit more than mine -- he's tubby enough that he still can put my legs to sleep pretty quickly and the tail.. oh that tail... whips me with it constantly and I swear its his personal goal to see just how many times and ways he can dance around try to snake and slap my face with it and this guy's got a seriously big tail, he can on occasion actually hurt you with those face slaps with it), but for the most part its all good, he gets more oppurtunity to be his annoying self far more up close and personal (I really do love him and I know he loves me, but its like an Odd Couple sort of prickly relationship with a lot of his determining and finding creative ways how much he can just annoy me mixed in. That's Barney for ya.)

Oh, I didn't know that about PG and cats! 8-o I'm glad I read this. My kitties have been very intrigued about my e-cig, but I've never blown the vapor at them. Now I know I should actually be making it a point to blow it away from them.

My biggest concern until now has been keeping my e-cig and supplies away from them. One of my cats will eat *anything* (including rubber and plastic!), so I've had this fear that if he got ahold of any of it, he might chew through the cart or chew into a bottle and die from the nicotine.

He's really not a very smart cat.

my minature black panther uno has been vaping with me for about 2 weeks - he loves it, runs up to it to get some if he can... but he used to smoke weed with me too in my younger days... odd that he hated cigs aswell

but i didnt know that pg was toxic to the felines, i use about 70%vg vapor - but i'm afraid my partner in crime will be indulging in our habit a bit less from now on...

he's gonna hate you guys

he really liked the butterscotch vape

 

[freeskierpj]

My cat doesn't particularly like it but I know she's curious especially if I'm up in my bed at night and she see's the led light up and then sees me blow out vapor she just looks up at it and watches it dissipate but if I blow it at her she'll run away.

Thats funny to hear that PG is terrible for cats since there are so many avatars of cats smoking or vaping.

My little cat Eva is always trying to bite the mouthpiece when I vape - whistletip or round, she loves them all! She is happiest trying to do this if she can walk to and fro across my laptop keyboard at the same time.

 

[guitarman023]

"i sitz here with you now" than when i analoged.

I can haz vapor? My cat doesn't mind it either. He used to run when I would light up a cig.

 

[jj2]

My doggie would leave the area when I lit up, but my PV doesn't affect her one way or the other---well except that she no longer sneezes when she's around me after I had a smoke.

 

[neonerz]

My cats are completely opposite then what I'm reading here. They seemed to prefer me to smoke cigarettes over vaping.

In my old house, which we smoked in, they were never phased by a cigarette. My new house where we didn't smoke in, smoking time was their favorite, they got to come outside with us inside the screen house (house cats).

Now, they completely run out of the area when they see us even grab our ecig. I'm also pretty sure they are upset they don't get to go outside every 45 minutes.

I didn't know PG was harmful to cats, but I never leave my nic juice anywhere my cats could get to it. To the people who actually blow the vape in their cats faces, seriously? That just seems like a bad idea even if a cat was totally indifferent to it.

Don't you realize that the cat isn't your pet, you're her servant? And btw, it's her bed, she just lets you sleep in it because she's nice.

My cats own my bed and I'm lucky they let me sleep in the little sliver that's left against the wall. But, they're cute, so I don't mind.

 

[feenoir]

I'm pretty sure the secondhand vapor would not have an amount of PG that would actually even register with a cat. Obviously if they were lapping up a ppol of Ejuice it would be different but mine are constantly in the same room (or on my lap) when I vape and they don't even notice. I'm pretty sure the amount of actual chemicals in the exhale is way less (especially since if you don't exhale fast you won't even have vapor) than if you put the pv in the cat's mouth, pressed the button and told them to inhale.

 

[just-a-nobody]

Having had both cats and dogs, my conclusion is, cats are digital, while dogs are analog. So far, my dog just loves sniffing my vapor.

 

[Ast_Isis]

I have 4 cats who are now overjoyed that I no longer go outside to smoke. This is a big deal for them since they would sit at the garage door and meow till I came back inside!
They watch the vapor sometimes but other then that are not interested. Well, except Setesh who is a kleptomaniac and will steal anything that he can carry in his mouth. Hence I watch my e cig equipment closely.

Anubis, Setesh, Sekhemet, and Apophys think the e-cig is the best thing to ever happen to them!
