I know two who like coffee. Jon Arbuckle's Garfield, and my
friend's cat Cookie. I saw him sneaking a sip or two from guest's
coffee mugs at a 70th birthday celebration last weekend :-)

Not a good thing, according to this website, "Cat Poisons and Hazards". It
says " Did you know chocolate and coffee grounds are poisonous for our
cats and dogs? The active ingredient in chocolate, the thing that makes it
toxic for cats, is called theobromine. The smaller the cat the less is
required for a toxic reaction to result. Don't leave the Godiva chocolates
open on the nightstand when you go to sleep and don't dump in an
accessible area the morning coffee grounds (in my case the midnight coffee
grounds)."

There's a big difference between coffee grounds and a sip or two of liquid
coffee.
