Way back in January 2009, not long after mephedrone first began to be sold online, members of the web forum attached to the now-defunct "headshop" Champagne Legals discussed what brand name they might attach to the new product, which has the chemical identity dimethylmethcathinone or MM-Cat.
"What shall we call this drug? It's called MM-CAT, so why not Miaow?" suggested one. The name did not catch on ... But on 1 November 2009, someone did add the name "Meow" to the Wikipedia entry for Mephedrone at the head of a list of "street names."
Three weeks later ... the Sun declared the arrival of a "new party favourite called 'meow meow'" and the world went cat-call crazy.
Among a host of recent headlines the Sunday Times has reported on "the rise of Meow", the Times has heralded "Meow Meow arrests", the Sun shrieked about a "Harman snub for Meow Meow Ban" and the Daily Telegraph took a long hard look at the "Meow Meow Menace in Europe."
"No one ever called it Meow seriously till the papers picked up on the Wikipedia entry," one drugs expert tells the Eye.
