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

Same, lol. Could be interpreted as an insult but I feel lucky that she won't try to drink it herself.

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

We need a comm just for pet warning labels in vets and kennels

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

Caffeine is toxic to cats.

[–] Twitches@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

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)

The decision has been made, Rocket.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 months ago

Opposites attract is real

My cat loves coffee he will dig my cup out of the trash sometimes if I'm not careful

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.
