My boyfriend and I recently got a 7 week old kitten. We love her will all of our hearts but I just had a question about her health and safety. We are avid pot smokers, but have a designated room where we smoke. We also use fans, have windows open, and use a sploof. The kitten is never directly in the smoke but is sometimes near the room. She seems completely fine all the time and I am super careful that she is never near the smoke or weed itself but I just wanted to be sure it's not affecting her. Anyone have experience with this? Please no rude comments.

As an aging hippie who always had cats and had plenty of weed around them, I think your kitten will be perfectly fine.  ANY smoke is an irritant to kittens and cats, even smoke from incense burners, so as long as you keep her away from ALL smoke, she should be fine.  Our cats always removed themselves from the room when we were smoking anything, especially cigarettes (ugh!) or burning incense.  They know.  And marijuana has medicinal qualities so that there is nothing in its substance that would harm her, just the irritation of any smoke.  Thanks for caring!!!
