Petting cats while on drugs- does it hurt the cat?

This is a perennial concern of mine.
Once when on MDMA (or was it mushrooms?)I was petting a cat in my friend's apartment.
All of a sudden this girl who was on meth jumped up and started screaming "ITS SEEPING INTO ITS SKIN! ITS SEEPING INTO ITS SKIN!" over and over again and ripped the cat out of my lap and threw it on the ground.
It was hilariously disturbing at the time.
Ever since I have wondered when I pet my cats while on various drugs (mushrooms, MDMA, ketamine etc)... are the cats getting high? Is something seeping out of my hands into the cat's skin?
Is it dangerous for the cat?
I was always convinced the cat gets high with you when you pet it. I try to wash my hands and stuff.
What do you guys think?

I know someone who always says he thinks petting animals while on LSD or mushrooms can get the animal high.... I always laugh at him.

yes, our waste gets excreted through our skin... Meth and other drugs would be included. (and especially Meth, because you're usually sweating buckets)
it's entirely possible it could get through a cats skin and into it's system, and a cat is small enough that it could effect them.

i don't think people can do enough LSD or Psilocybin to have it happen.

Yeah I am convinced my cats get high when I am on mushrooms and pet them. My brother laughs at me for saying that though.

that'd probably be more about the fact that you're cat can detect subtle changes in your behavior, and can see your saucer size eyes, which is also in a cat's natural instinct to react to.

Animals act differently around people on psychedelics whether the animals get touched or not.

It sounds like a load of bullshit.
I thought humans can absorb drugs through the skin because we sweat and have pores. Cats don't sweat.
Now if you are petting a cat with a hand that's covered in some sort of drug, and then the cat goes to clean itself later, then yeah I guess it could get high that way.

the issue is also the ABSURDLY low amount of drug released by pores on your skin.
we're talking like... a few molecules here...
IF THAT.

If you pet a cat too hard you can break it, so I'm told.
Pet with moderation when you're high on drugs brah.

true, but kitty cats are sensitive, small, and are usually consistently petted, which can build up a drug in their system over time.
but Everlong brought up another good point, that cats don't sweat... there isn't a ready way to absorb the drug, other then if it was absorbed orally.

I don't really want to get into the details, but once my cat ate an undetermined amount of JWH-018. He got high as fuck. 4 years later, I had to put him to sleep. Coincidence? You decide.

I hope no one has to put me to sleep in four years, I've done way too many synthetic cannabinoids.

Set up a living will in case you start having strokes and shit. Don't leave uncertainties in the hands of moronic family members. Also, have a clause stipulating that if your case gets national news coverage, a flattering picture of you will be used.
