    i don't let this cat drink coke from my cup when she tries to but i find it pretty surprising that she considers it drinkable in the first place. most cats i've seen abhor anything except pure fresh water

        at one point i caught her trying to drink fairly hot raspberry-flavored herbal black tea from my cup, which is about as far possible from my idea of what a cat would even try to drink, and she seemed okay with the taste (i also didn't let that fly for safety reasons)

        coke is probably okay and i wouldn't care if she just drank it normally but she eventually puts a paw in there and then licks it off which is just really gross

        roommate once spilled beer and cat spent quite a while lapping up the beer puddle so i think she just drinks all sorts of weird shit for some incomprehensible cat reason never been interested in anything stronger though so far as i remember

        this would really be easier to handle if all sorts of stuff that is completely benign to humans wasn't a coin flip between "does nothing" and "start dialysis now" to a cat, and the lists are so large, arbitrary and badly researched that i definitely can't rely on knowing them

        like the amount of caffeine she'd consume by drinking from a cup with coke is 2 if not 3 orders of magnitude lower than LD50, it's about as safe as you drinking it. but let's say some random potato chip flavoring? (a) there's no IUPAC name on package (b) we don't know tox anyway

        the cat stole a piece of dried meat lightly seasoned with black pepper and ate it. (black pepper is safe for cats, although it's supposed to be repellent, in theory.) she looked kind of unsure when i offered a second one and ended up leaving it. could be more sensitive than me?

        Not sure if their body really handle sugar (fructose) in quantity; which is the case in coke non-sugar free.

        over here coke doesn't use HFCS, and i think cats can actually digest potatoes, so i'm not sure if that's a serious issue

        Hum... What is "coke" then? I thought is was soft drink such as Coca-Cola which contains HFCS. Yes cats can ofc digest glucose but they have a low tolerance of insuline, thus they reach their hyperinsulinemia with little qte of sugar.

        They also like chicken broth. Vet recommended that when my cat was recovering from something that killed her appetite and desire to drink. Started drinking tons again after I mixed in a little broth with her water

        "pure, fresh water" includes "stagnant day-old rainwater out of a trashcan lid" of course

        oh of course, that doesn't count. Complete trashwater does though, according to some cats I've had. I'll never understand this.

        common misconception, most adult mammals (including humans) can't drink milk since they don't produce lactase
