A Sydney man took his highly agitated kitten to the vet - only to discover it was high on cocaine.

The eight-month-old Himalayan cat arrived at the Double Bay clinic with dilated pupils and a racing heart.

The owner said it had trouble walking and was easily startled, according to a report in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery.

The cat was placed in a cage, began pacing incessantly and was too anxious for the vet to take a thermometer reading.

The vets and authors of the report, Dominic Barfield and Richard Malik, tried to take some blood but the cat was in no mood to oblige.
