One of my old flatmates
has a dad who is a doctor. Apparently when he (my flatmate) was a kid, their cat got sick, so they decided to put it down. Rather than fork out for a vet's bill, his dad decided to just get some morphine from his surgery (mid 80s, I guess controls were not as strict?) and OD the cat. So, they got a syringe and a vial of morphine and shot the cat up with a dose that would be fatal for a human. Just like in the above story, the cat slept for about a day before waking up none the worse for wear.

Maybe cats are just immune to morphine?

Cats immune to oramorph
Wierd eh? Kind of glad to see my Mum isn't the only one to have tried this :-) Maybe he just needed 100 ml of catnip...
