    That’s funny. My friend’s cat used to try sneaking drinks from our beer if it was left out. We had to start using covered mugs. Really loved stouts and porters, no clue why.

      My wife knows a corgi breeder, and he had a 14+ year old corgi that got his own beer every night.

        Is a single beer for a corgi like a six pack for a gamer?

    My cat literally makes this small digging movement when smelling on a cup of Coffee, just like when he was on the toilet.

      What a sweet kitty trying to cover your poop for you since you were clearly never taught how.

      My cat has a caution label on her medical records because she gets so aggressive at the vet.

      Caffeine is toxic to cats.

        Rocket is the only being that deserves decaf, then.

          Decaf still has caffeine, just less. I have no idea on the safe level for cats, but don’t assume decaf is safe. (I know this is a joke, but it needed to be said anyway.)

        That is good to know, thank you. I didnt know this, good to be careful. I looked it up. 36 to 68 mg is fatal. So a couple sips isnt bad, but, being in a coffee shop it probably wouldn’t be hard for Rocket to get enough to make him sick.

            Yeah, it really doesn’t take much caffeine to kill a person. Plants literally started using it as a pest deterrent.

              Roughly about 10g of caffeine for a 70kg human is where it’s starts to generally be recognised as lethal

              Also mint, and chocolate apparently. And of course chili’s. The only one that seems to actually work on us though is nettles.

              No one’s domesticated them.

            I’m actually not too sure how right you are here, my last cat was a chunky boy at 7kg, let’s say that the upper end 68mg is the LD50, I’m roughly 70kg, 680mg of coffee would be very uncomfortable and unpleasant, but I don’t think I’d be hitting the LD50.

            LD50 in humans is probably around 100mg/kg, fatal doses are 150-200mg/kg

        It’s all about the degree of toxicity. Like chocolate and dogs, it takes a lot more than you’d think to be lethal.

        Not wrong, but on the other hand, two of the Guinness verified longest living cats were said to drink a small bit of coffee with cream regularly.

        Both were owned by the same guy and a 38 year old cat is a bit controversial, but: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creme_Puff_(cat)

    My dog adores coffee. You can’t leave a cup of it unattended anywhere she can reach because she will knock over the cup and drink what she can.
