CAT Addiction Treatment | Drug Rehab South Africa

Methcathinone is a psychoactive illegal drug.

It is known as Kat or CAT among its users but is also referred to as Methedrone, Kitty or Meow.

Kat is easily produced by using a range of your everyday household detergents and products, and can even be manufactured in your home kitchen.

Possible ingredients used to make CAT/Kat:

• Ephedrine or pseudoephedrine (found in some over-the-counter asthma and cold medications)
• Acetone (explosive paint solvent)
• Muriatic acid (used in sandblasting and cleaning mortar off bricks)
• Sulphuric acid (usually purchased from auto supply stores as battery acid)
• Lye (usually in the form of a crystal drain cleaner such as Drano)
• Sodium dichromate or potassium dichromate
• Sodium hydroxide
• Toluene (explosive paint thinner)

The drug can also be “cut” meaning the drug manufacturer is able to increase his Kat quantity by adding chemicals such as rat poison or chlorine. (A drug dealer does not care whether any of these additives are good for you or not!)

CAT/Kat can be ingested in a number of ways:

• You can eat the Kat drug.
• You can insufflate Kat (nasal inhalation).
• You are can smoke Kat in a pipe or joint.
• Kat is water-soluble and may be dissolved in liquid and either taken orally or injected.
