Cats actually like coffee. My mom gives her cat a cup of coffee every morning, and it makes him frantic. Perhaps he just likes being high.

Yeah, great thread title. I couldn't resist, though not terribly interested.

I thought this thread was going to be about felines eating ganja.

Cats are total drug addicts, if you let them be.

― Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 15 March 2003 23:16 (10 years ago) Permalink

yeah those little furballs love their catnip!

catnip = feline crack.

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 15 March 2003 23:41 (10 years ago) Permalink

if you love the feline crack, then you really have a problem.

I've never tried to give my cats tea, but they were very curious about my hot tottie (sp?) last night. They do like drugs alot though (ie: catnip).

How I post pics here?

Check the FAQ, Gatinha. Link below.

But be forwarned that the posting of cat pics to this thread automatically ends the lives of three, yes three, kittens in Outer Mongolia. I'm sorry, but my hands are tied. Ah...yesss...but that's for another reason I can't go into here.......

DIFFERENT KINDS OF TEA THAT CATS LIKE THREAD REVIVE!

― Tad (llamasfur), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:38 (10 years ago) Permalink

Ahhh, funk that. My friend Kaye's cat Nicky drinks gin if given half a chance.

― j.lu (j.lu), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:41 (10 years ago) Permalink

actually i revived this thread because i like that picture that amateurist posted ... it's my wallpaper on my work computer now, i have the twee-ist computer of them all!

― Tad (llamasfur), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:46 (10 years ago) Permalink

I love that picture. I like to imagine the cats killed their owners, stuffed them in the basement, and now have the run of the place. And what is the first thing they do? Make tea, of course.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:57 (10 years ago) Permalink

Well, wouldn't you?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:59 (10 years ago) Permalink

Awww dis thread was started on my birthday, bless. :D

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 23 May 2003 04:28 (10 years ago) Permalink

My cats are very perturbed by lapsang soochong, which is the only tea I drink. They always come over to sniff at the mug, like they do when I have coffee, and then give me this look like "Why God, why?" (I told them I'm God), and run off.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 23 May 2003 07:04 (10 years ago) Permalink

if i had cats, they wouldn't be picky. they'd drink lipton's or white rose and love it!

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 24 May 2003 02:32 (10 years ago) Permalink

I'm smiling now.

"I like to imagine the cats killed their owners, stuffed them in the basement, and now have the run of the place. And what is the first thing they do? Make tea, of course. "

yes, it's very animal-farm-esque.

― A Nairn (moretap), Saturday, 24 May 2003 04:01 (10 years ago) Permalink

I think they prefer Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe.

― cow cow, Saturday, 24 May 2003 06:06 (10 years ago) Permalink

amateurist's pic is less twee since i realised the guy cat is smirking cos he saw that lady cat put her tea down too far away from her chair and she's gonna have to get up again in a second

― Chip Morningstar (bob), Saturday, 24 May 2003 13:26 (10 years ago) Permalink

i like amateurist's take on the picture that he posted. as for me, i just think that it's cute.

and whatever happened to gatinha, anyway?

I bet if cats drank tea, they'd drink it out of teapots shaped like humans.

Stupid doctor saying I shouldn't even drink tea. Bah! I'm so sick of drinking water! And my kitchen is full of lots and lots of wonderful flavors of tea... :-(

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 12:09 (9 years ago) Permalink

You're not actually a cat, though, are you?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 10:38 (9 years ago) Permalink

Oh.

But anywho, I'm gonna take a stab in the dark that cats DON'T like peppermint tea. My kitties hate the smell of toothpaste with a passion. In fact, if I have toothpaste breath, they shrivel up their noses and run away as fast as they can.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 12:06 (9 years ago) Permalink

OHMIGOD I COME BACK FROM MEMORIAL DAY BREAK AND THIS THREAD IS STILL ACTIVE!! WE'RE SO TWEE!!

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 29 May 2003 03:13 (9 years ago) Permalink

Yay!

This morning my kitties both sat in the bedroom together (which is very rare, lemme tell ya) and meowed and meowed. I went over to draw the curtain, and there was a bluejay sitting out on the line squaking at them. And they meowed back. And nobody looked like they were going to get tired of this game any time soon.

Sorry, that had nothing to do with tea. I miss tea.

― Sarah Mclusky (coco), Thursday, 29 May 2003 12:46 (9 years ago) Permalink

Sarah
Do you think that was the same bluejay that was squawking at us yesterday when we were trying to save its baby by making it leave the laundromat? Maybe it followed us home to heckle us some more.

― NA. (Nick A.), Thursday, 29 May 2003 13:17 (9 years ago) Permalink

Yeah. I bet it's a mobster bluejay and it's gonna keep visiting our house until it kills us both.

I used to live with two cats who would MANGLE the paper wrappers from peppermint tea bags. They would basically roll on them and push their shoulders into them to try to get as much of the scent on them as possible, presumably. Craziness.

― Laurel, Monday, 10 March 2008 15:53 (5 years ago) Permalink

Oh, is it because peppermint is related to catnip?

― roxymuzak, Monday, 10 March 2008 15:54 (5 years ago) Permalink

I'm not sure, but catnip is some kind of mint, I think.

― roxymuzak, Monday, 10 March 2008 15:54 (5 years ago) Permalink

Ceiling cat is watching tea cat drink yr tea!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 10 March 2008 15:55 (5 years ago) Permalink

Think so, rox. Yeah, catnip is a mint, albeit not one that smells minty to humanz.

― Laurel, Monday, 10 March 2008 15:59 (5 years ago) Permalink

Ceiling cat makes me lol.

8 months pass...

Every morning I get my mug of coffee, sit down on the couch, and put my mug on the floor, the easiest place to access it from the couch. And every morning, my cat comes over, smells the coffee, then tries to bury it (in our hardwood floors). Every morning.
