I wish I was joking - but sadly I am not. I know that someone here will be able to educate me, and I promise I am being as genuine as I possibly can....
I have an aging cat that is a giant pain in my butt. She has struvite crystals and is possibly in the beginning stages of kidney failure (so says my vet). Sometimes she goes outside the litter box due to pain or whatever and its temporary. My house was broken into 2 weeks ago and since then she hasn't used a litter box (I hate cat pee). I took her to the vet and was told that its most likely anxiety. None of my cats were injured - but even though the back door was open - none of the cats left the house (which is odd because given half a chance she will run outside and eat grass).
My vet prescribed CBD oil for her and I'm terrified it will make me positive on a drug test (I start school in January). I am naive and ignorant because I haven't ever done any sort of drug. I've only been drunk a few times and mostly by accident. I just really don't understand.
I put a link below for the item that she prescribed to her, and it has an actual prescription label on the bottle. My boyfriend said that since it doesn't have THC in it, I'll be fine. Do I need to wear gloves when I give this to her, do I have to worry about petting her? I wore them the first time, but trying to hold a long hair cat with gloves on presents a challenge in itself. I do wash my hands with soap when I'm done. I feel like I'm being ridiculous, but I really don't want to get thrown out of school before I even get in because I have a neurotic cat. It seriously sounds ridiculous typing this - I'm sure the school will think I'm a lying loon and probably ya'll too. FYI - I graduated from high school over 25 years ago - I should know better but I just don't.
Thank you in advance for not giggling at me in writing - although I deserve it.
Hey I think laws against humans smoking weed out to be thrown out as they are an assault on personal liberties and are frankly senseless. They have more to do with social philosophy and forced adherence to a particular viewpoint than anything medical or legal in my opinion.
Having said that you (like I) are in monitoring purgatory. This being the case we have to respect the reality of our situation. I don't know if this stuff would make you pee hot for weed. I do know the BON is not gonna hear any argument about how you were treating your cats ailments prescription in hand or not. You will likely not have any problems if you wear gloves and never actually come in physical contact with the stuff. At the end of the day it's risk versus reward. I guess if you love your cat enough you will do it. I would not but I sure as heck wouldn't judge you for taking a contrary action. Good luck!!!!!
Thank you... sadly I have both and it seems neither is working. I have the collar loose enough that it slips over her head and I use both the actual litter attractant and the litter itself. None of it is cheap
Today she walked over to her new favoriet spot, and started to get comfy. I picked her up and carried her to the box gently petring her. She didnt go in her spot before I left but she probably will since we arent home. Ive tried putting the box there and she will go beside it. I sure wish I knew how to fix it.

I'd love to hear if this helps down the road. I have a dog I've been contemplating using it on. Insanely severe anxiety- Prozac made it even worse. We've tried every natural and pharmacological thing we've heard of, except CBD. My facility only drug tests if you really flaunt something stupid. But you never know. I could decide on 2 month-end to apply elsewhere and have a problem.

Someone told me they use it on their dog with cancer and he is responding well. Sometimes I feel like it makes her chill but she wAs never a spunky cat so its hard to tell really. Its for sure not fixing the litterbox issue.
I have a cat with kidney disease. I have used feliway and though it was worth it. Litter attractant. The jury is out on it. Scoe 10x is the only product I ever found that actually removes the smell of cat urine, and I tried everything.
I have a female cat that sprays when she's displeased, stressed or otherwise unhappy with the angle of the axis of the planet (I am older than dirt and had cats my whole life - I didn't even know a spayed female had the wherewithal to spray, or was even a thing). Now we have those Felineway and multicat conflict dispensers in every room. Every. Room. I still find suprises on a wall here or there with my UV light. She's been on paxil but it didn't help. I've considered putting her in diapers because I share your hate for cat pee.
The good news is there is some wonderful CBD oils out there was are 100% THC free that work well for pain, anxiety and depression. I know someone who uses one brand - she did a pre-employment UDS for a job and it was clean. She now works at my employer, so I know she passed. But like someone else already mentioned wear gloves if it makes you feel better about it.
I may try the CBD oil on my own wall pisser - thanks. And good luck.
