Cheetah Piss strain

Cheetah Piss, also called Funky Kitty, is a hybrid of Lemonnade, Gelato 42 and London Pound Cake 97 that Leafly credits to Growing Passion and Cookies Fam, with a funky nose of ammonia, skunk and citrus.1,2 It tests at a median total THC of 18.82% across 298 state lab tests of Cheetah Piss flower, with the middle half of results between 16.59% and 21.36%.3 CBD is negligible: none of the 230 tests that reported CBD reached 1%.3

The Navigator stands full length on a pale dirt track through tall golden grass, facing the viewer, in a blue short-sleeved shirt, sand-colored trousers and lace-up desert boots, with goggles pushed up on her forehead, a brass compass on a cord and a long cream scarf blowing to one side. She holds an open dark-blue roadbook in one hand, her spotted tail curling behind her, while an amber truck faces the viewer farther down the track under a deep-blue sky scattered with small gold flecks.

Quick answers

What strain is Cheetah Piss?

A hybrid that crosses Lemonnade, Gelato 42 and London Pound Cake 97, credited by Leafly to Growing Passion and Cookies Fam.1,4 Leafly, AllBud and SeedFinder say the name is an homage to Cat Piss, an ammonia-scented strain from the 2000s that none of them lists as a parent.1,4,5,8

Is Cheetah Piss indica or sativa?

A hybrid that most sources call balanced: AllBud lists 50% indica and 50% sativa, as does Zamnesia for its autoflower version, while SeedFinder says its short, broad-leaved plants suggest a slight indica lean.4,5,9 Leafly rates its effects mostly energizing.1 Its parents pull both ways: Lemonnade is sativa-dominant and London Pound Cake indica-dominant.10,11

How strong is Cheetah Piss?

Mid-range: the median total THC across 298 state lab tests was 18.82%, and only 6.7% of tests reached 25% or more, so Leafly’s 25% listing describes the top of the range.1,3 The yearly median rose from 17.15% in 2020 (73 tests) to 19.79% in 2022 (79).3

What does Cheetah Piss smell like?

Funky: Leafly users list ammonia, skunk and menthol, Weedmaps flavor reports earthy, ammonia and citrus, and Weedmaps’ description musk, lemons and funk.1,2 Sweeter notes show up too: AllBud lists creamy, fruity, lemon, sour and sweet flavors, and Cookies tags it sweet, funk and cream.4,12

What are the effects of Cheetah Piss?

Leafly users most often report aroused, giggly and focused, and Weedmaps users relaxed, euphoric and happy.1,2 SeedFinder describes an uplifting start that turns relaxing, and Westword’s reviewer found it best saved for the evening.5,8 These are self-reports, not clinical findings.

Is Cheetah Piss a Cookies strain?

By most accounts, yes: Leafly credits Growing Passion and Cookies Fam, Westword called it “a strain from Cookies Fam” in 2020, and SeedFinder says Cookies created it.1,5,8 In our lab data, 99 of the 298 tests were on flower labelled with the Cookies brand.3

Where Cheetah Piss shows up

It is not a chart-topper: Cheetah Piss does not appear in Leafly’s report on the best-selling strains of 2025 or in The Marijuana Herald’s September 2026 list of each legal state’s top seller.13,14 What exists is a steady footprint: 317 ratings on Leafly (4.5 stars), a 2020 Westword profile that found it at most Colorado dispensaries carrying Cookies strains, and state lab results from 7 states between 2020 and 2024.1,3,8

In the Weedmaps snapshot of Oct 4, 2026, 101 stores within 50 miles of Los Angeles listed Cheetah Piss flower, and 188 store listings turned up across 18 of the 27 markets checked.15 Breeders have used it widely: SeedFinder lists 45 direct descendants, among them Cookie Fam Genetics’ Cheetah Cake, Dirty Diana and Wet Wet.16 In Ontario, a Cookies four-strain pack lists a “Cheetah P” with the same three parents.17
