He ate a pretty good amount of it when I came home. Roommate said the cat ran out the door and took grab of it, so she threw it inside with the plant and let him have at it, apparently. It smells legit like weed. I think it came from this bush outside that I took a picture of. Whole house smells like it now. Worried for the kitty's health, he's such a sweet boy! Is he going to be okay?? Any plant knowers? Thank y'all.

Looks like wild catmint to me. I have something similar outside and I harvested it last year and the cats love it. The pollinators love it, but it is an aggressive spreader.
Im not a pro so, get a 2nd and 3rd opinion!
Catnip.. cat will be fine, but might have the muchies later..
square fuzzy stem means something in the mint family, but if the leaves dont smell like mint (crush and roll between fingers to be 100% sure) then it could be catnip, which would explain why the kitty wanted a nibble

What are they feeding you? (Probably catmint)

It’s not your fault
Catnip
this is cat nip, aka kitty psychedelic that smells like cannabis! my cat loves it but we try to be sure the stuff he eats doesn’t get sprayed with pesticides – which is hard if someone doesn’t own the land
Your cat’s gonna be fine.
Human: open up, it’s me, Dave, I got the stuff!
Cat: Dave’s not here, man
