Research reveals that feeling frisky and enjoying an afternoon cat nap isn’t the only similarities cat lovers share with their feline companions.

Like humans and dogs, the feline anatomy is equipped with an endocannabinoid system. Because of this, your cat can experience a variety of health benefits from cannabinoids like CBD.

If that has your whiskers tingling, purr-haps you want to keep reading… we’re about to let the cat out of the bag.

In this article, we’re going to explain how CBD works and explore the many health benefits of CBD for cats.

How CBD Works for Cats

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a network of receptors found throughout the central nervous system and other biological systems that can interact with cannabinoids like CBD and THC.

By influencing these receptors with its anti-inflammatory and antipsychotic properties, studies have shown that CBD can help maintain and improve their functionality, thereby improving the integrity of the systems they regulate.

This interaction is what allows CBD to deliver numerous benefits to cats, such as pain relief, stress management, reduced aggression and more.
