Do Cats Like Coffee?
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 :-) -- MatSav |

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)." http://www.dwmtech.com/CATS/catpoisons.htm |

I've heard this forever, and question its validity in real life. I've had a number of cats who like ice cream, and my current Watermelon Man eagerly devours a little bit of mine when I have some. And it's normally chocolate of some sort. Considering that ice cream is one of the essential food groups, I go through a fair amount of Breyers. As he's 17, my hypothesis is that it is unlikely to send him to an early demise. Art |

Your cats spend time outdoors, so you cannot be sure of how icecream affects their digestive system. When I was young, we always gave out cats milk and they loved it. I always thought that runny BMx were normal for cats == wrong! I remember once when we were having root beer floats while sitting on the porch, I offered a dishful to our dog. He refused it after a sniff. I playfully pushed his nose in it. After a taste, he couldn't drink it fast enough. When we sometimes walked to an Artic Circle for icecream cones, I always bought one for our dog too. It may not be "good" for cats and dogs, but they love it.Best wishes. MLB |

However, I had a cat who loved milk and never had any problems after drinking it. Joy |

Buster is such a good kitty that he never drinks from his hoomin's cup. He just drinks from his paw, after dipping it in the cup. |
