People smoke weed all the time and it decreases violence. But that’s not why they do it.
Chances are just as good that the insect repellant is just a nice side effect of these cats getting high, not the other way around.
In evolution, couldn't it be that the trait of enjoying catnip made them more resilient to mosquitos and thus had a higher chance of surviving, or so?
Maybe their use of the word "functional" is different than mine, and we're saying the same thing. But to me there's a big difference from saying e.g. "Our findings suggest that chimps using sticks to dislodge food is a functional behavior."

Jamie, pull that up.
But weed? Nah. People on weed just want to eat pretzels and watch cartoons.
