Cat cocaine is a synthetic alkaloid, developed by the Cat Nation as a substitute for Kitten Huffing during the epidemic of 1983. When used in quantities of 2 grammes or above, it acts as a stimulant to the central nervous system, causing feelings of euphoria and paranoia. Street names include "Abysinian smack", "purr powder" or "kitty crack", which is also a name used for catnip.
