Damn I thought he'd be working on like, cat Ecstasy or something.

That's called 'catnip' :)
Getting Ecstasy to market involves fewer regulatory hurdles than even drugs for animals. It just so happens to be illegal in most countries.

I thought he'd be doing "this drug is for cats" wink wink and then people use it, but in retrospect a judge would see right through that.

I wonder if it would be significantly cheaper to go through regulatory approvals for a drug in another country, to the point where it would be worthwhile to relocate the company?

8/10 cats showed a preference for microdosing psychedelics
Given that it was on HN, I imagined someone working through various strains of catnip to optimize their cats' high through some complicated ML-guided process.
