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

― Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 15 March 2003 23:16 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah those little furballs love their catnip!

catnip = feline crack.

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 15 March 2003 23:41 (twenty-three years ago)

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?

― Gatinha (rwillmsen), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 12:33 (twenty-three years ago)

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.......

Oh well, then I didn't kill any cats in Outer Mongolia.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF TEA THAT CATS LIKE THREAD REVIVE!

― Tad (llamasfur), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:38 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, wouldn't you?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:59 (twenty-three years ago)

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

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 23 May 2003 04:28 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm smiling now.

― A Nairn (moretap), Saturday, 24 May 2003 03:56 (twenty-three years ago)

and it's not going away!

― A Nairn (moretap), Saturday, 24 May 2003 03:57 (twenty-three years ago)

"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 (twenty-three years ago)

I think they prefer Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe.

― cow cow, Saturday, 24 May 2003 06:06 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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?

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 25 May 2003 04:12 (twenty-three years ago)

That's the greatest thing ever!

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 10:38 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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

j.lu - are you coming to the NYC FAP? I wanna see you again. :) Or maybe before then?

10 bags in the cup this morning

still drowsy, la

― De Smurfführer (cat), Thursday, 4 May 2023 21:41 (three years ago)

i've been adding cinnamon sticks as well, the past week or so. nice little spice in the plain tea, or with milk, or fruity whatevers. or both! today was spiced peaches & cream tea: black tea + cinnamon + a little semi-frozen cup of chopped peach + milk + ice

― De Smurfführer (cat), Thursday, 4 May 2023 21:46 (three years ago)

i usually try to keep a bottle of tea brewing in the fridge, too. i oughtta snip some fresh mint one of these mornings, mint + lemon is pretty badass

― De Smurfführer (cat), Thursday, 4 May 2023 21:51 (three years ago)

my secondary ice cube tray is currently full of minced ginger but once i've used that up i should make iced tea cubes, so as to chill my tea with no loss of potency

― De Smurfführer (cat), Thursday, 4 May 2023 21:56 (three years ago)

there's this bag of matcha powder, it's tremendous and i don't know what to do with it, matcha is awful, it tastes like muddy grass and i am not a goose! that is not a flavor i enjoy!!

― De Smurfführer (cat), Thursday, 4 May 2023 22:16 (three years ago)

just had a realization about jasmine tea, namely that i haven't had any in years and this is intolerable! maybe i can sub in rose petals for now. good god i have so much rose petals. my guy ordered a 1 lb bag of them several years ago and there are still just endless handfuls of them, like the bag is enchanted

― De Smurfführer (cat), Friday, 5 May 2023 01:01 (three years ago)

or cursed, since idk wtf to do with all this rose

― De Smurfführer (cat), Friday, 5 May 2023 01:02 (three years ago)

i just whisked a butterscotch pudding cup into my after-dinner cinnamon tea, fyi.

― De Smurfführer (cat), Friday, 5 May 2023 02:18 (three years ago)

Our cats have never shown any interest in tea, but I'm enjoying this revive.

three months pass...

i made lavender honey for a friend, and when i'd strained the flowers from the honey i had, ta-da! honeyed lavender blossoms. i could have made cookies or scones with them, but that's hot and messy, so instead i put them to soak in a small jar of water. now i have a jar of lavender honey water. today i poured a bit into my morning cup of tea, with milk and another spoonful of honey, and as i took the first sip i remembered that lavender tastes revolting, like drinking perfumed antiseptic, and that every other time i've been tempted to ingest lavender i've had the same thought, but keep forgetting, and now i'd ruined a perfectly innocent cup of tea.

― sleepy bee (cat), Monday, 4 September 2023 21:36 (two years ago)

(it's in the fridge now and i'm titrating it into subsequent teas)

― sleepy bee (cat), Monday, 4 September 2023 21:37 (two years ago)

(fuck wasting a tea)

― sleepy bee (cat), Monday, 4 September 2023 21:37 (two years ago)

and as i took the first sip i remembered that lavender tastes revolting, like drinking perfumed antiseptic

haha i was gonna say

― Deflatormouse, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 01:09 (two years ago)

and yet i keep getting seduced by this vision of a fancy sophisticated cottagecore kitchenwitch me, setting thimbles of garden tea out on the sill for fairies, lounging among the boughs of an ancient willow with flowers in my hair, wearing a simple linen shift ingeniously upcycled from a tablecloth or whatever! i should tattoo reminders on myself like the guy in memento. "stop trying to drink flowers ffs" "wear pants if you're gonna climb a tree" etc

― sleepy bee (cat), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 08:45 (two years ago)

at first i didn't understand how it related to the thread, but i think i see what you've done

― budo jeru, Wednesday, 6 September 2023 02:37 (two years ago)

you could still try feeding the lavender tea to your pet cats and let us know how it goes

― budo jeru, Wednesday, 6 September 2023 02:37 (two years ago)

I thought lavender was supposed to be something cats found repellant so was actually used to keep cats out of areas.
Do they like it as tea then.

Is it then going to be licked all over themselves and give them complexes like.

one year passes...

i had this sack of thawing frozen wild blueberries so i simmered them w/ lemon juice, strained the berries to go on a chèvre cheesecake, and bottled the blueberry juice

so i can now report that tea + ice + splash of milk + splash of blueberry blood = v. pretty & delicious, a gorgeous deep lavender hue. feels like drinking a magic potion.

btw if you have a glass of iced tea and add mint, lime, and blueberry juice, then you will automatically have a good time
