A male cat's penis is covered with little hooks, known as penile spines.
Upon withdrawal, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina, which is a trigger for ovulation.

I'm thankful I'm not a female cat.

I shall remember that for when one of my friends has a runny nose.

Friend: *has runny nose*
Me: Aww...I see you have rhinorrhea.
Friend: Huh???
Me: It's the medical term for a runny nose.

Clarify please. Do you mean it has the same effect. I can't imagine anyone ever trying.

Years ago, I read this in a dutch magazine called Quest, which is a magazine that is full with these sort of fun facts.
I do believe they meant it has the same effect.

"A compound that's closely related to the active ingredient in marijuana (tetrahydrocannabinol-9) is also found in chocolate. Fatty acids called cannabinoids hit the CB1 and CB2 receptors found most predominantly in the frontal cortex and the parts of the brain responsible for motor function and memory. When cannabinoids hit these receptors, a person starts to feel intoxicated and relaxed as a result."

from this article: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/life/inside-the-mind/emotions/chocolate-high.htm

I didn't read the whole thing, but I doubt it can have the exact same effect as weed. it does seem to have psychological effects though, albet miniscule ones. no matter how much you eat, you won't really get high.

People who are cortically blind (blind from braindamage in the occipital cortex, the eye is still functioning) have an ability called blindsight which makes it possible for them to react to visual stimuli even though they do not conciously see. Like this fellow right here:
