Is it immoral to give your cat the catenip

Every holiday season we buy gifts for our family, and some prefer to have something beautiful for their pet. Especially since the cats share our homes and our hearts, and it does not matter whether they are riotous or funny, they are the pet that makes our people happy even if it is nervous.

In a study, more than one billion dollars is spent in the pet toys industry, and cannabis is the most sought-after material

The scientific name for this plant is tetinininin, and it changes behavior in cats, and it is necessary to think carefully whether giving a pet a substance that changes its mood is ethical or not.
Cannabis is sold in small forms and its concentration varies from one form to another, and some cats can be affected by it for a period ranging between 5 and 15 minutes, such as the effect of marijuana, and about 70 cats respond with this drug, while 30 do not respond and have no effect on cats less than six months.

It is often amusing and funny to see your cat roll and salivate, and there are no medical benefits found so far for this drug. It is not funny to give your cat anesthetic, even if it seems happy, and many questions must be asked about the extent of human control over animals and their independence.

There are two contradictory views in this regard, a first theory that denies moral standing with animals, relying on the fact that animals do not possess human characteristics such as awareness, logic, and independence. The second theory claims that there is a similarity in mental abilities between humans and animals such as the parent, sympathy and nutritional and social habits, such as loving children, the need for food, drink, and sex.

Philosopher Julia Tension says it would be unfair to deny similar abilities of a similar amount to ethical considerations, so if it is unethical to give a small child anesthetic and laugh at his behavior, should cats be treated from the same perspective?

In any case, whether the cats are in pain or in pain, but about our behaviors and responsibilities towards our pets and giving them the same ethics that we give to humans. For example, in television advertisements and films, animals are used to convey an idea about humans, not the other way around. We must change our view of animals from being the object in effect to the actor.
