I had a cat Meowzer who would go nuts for olives also. I often would slice
one up and give him as a treat. Getting the olive jar out was one sure way
to catch the little brat when he slipped outside and wasn't supposed to be.
I'd just toss a few olives on the ground and sprinkle some juice and he's
come running then I could scoop him up.

Any chance this is found in green olives? I know that sounds weird,
but my oldest loves green olive juice. He goes nuts over it like it
is catnip. So I was curious if there was any similar substance in the
two.
