**WHAT’S THE DEAL?**

- Catnip, a type of plant that’s part of the mint family, gets cats high through a chemical called nepetalactone.
- In the US, [~31.8m](https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/reports-statistics/us-pet-ownership-statistics) households own cats, and [$42B](https://www.americanpetproducts.org/press_industrytrends.asp) was spent on pet food and treats in 2020.
- Meowijuana packages catnip like weed and sells everything a cat owner needs, from treats and toys to accessories.

Is your cat stressed out from a long day of scratching everything in the home office? [Meowijuana](https://www.meowijuana.com/collections/all-products) is looking to take the edge off with a line of catnip products packaged like weed.

#### **The company’s hilarious packaging is marketing gold**

You can get pre-rolled joints, a jar of buds, or a pill bottle for your high-strung 4-legged friend.

Customers (*or their cats at least*) seem to be loving it.

Meowijuana’s parent company, SmarterPaw LLC, just made the [Inc. 5000 ](https://www.inc.com/profile/meowijuana)list for the 2nd year in a row, with **789%** 3-year revenue growth.

#### **And there’s something for everyone (with paws)**

The company introduced a spinoff for dogs — [Doggijuana](https://doggijuana.com/).

With 5-star reviews like “Considering sending my fur baby to rehab,” it would seem this stuff is potent. Have at it, Mittens.
