If you were a teenager or upwards in 2008, chances are you’ll have come across “M-cat”. Also known as “meow meow” for its distinctive smell (distinctively smelling of cat urine, that is), the drug first emerged on the scene as a legal high which replicated the feeling of taking cocaine and MDMA in one go, for a fraction of the price.
Unsurprisingly, it took the late aughts drug scene by storm. For every Skins-style party that was flooded with coloured tights, hotpants and shutter shades, there was also a trusty supply of M-cat fuelling the hedonism.
