> They're just seeking pleasure, they don't know jack shit about what plant chemicals are increasing the survival of their species. How do you know? Many animals, including cats, are capable of thinking strategically. Cats in particular are very aware of scents. I don't know all the reasons they roll in catnip, but don't see why it's absurd to think that they do it partially for self preservations reasons. Similar to this, cats will often rub against their humans after they return home. They specifically rub scent glands against their human to add their own smell back into the mix with all of the new ones. It doesn't seem like a large leap to think they alter their own smell for practical reasons beyond getting blitzed.
