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

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?

One of my cats tries to drink black tea when I make it and they both seem interested in fruit juices. Coffee is the most reliable way to get them to leave me alone in the morning tho. Must not like the smell...
-
fruit juices like what? any citrus?
-
Doesn't seem to discriminate. These are probably not real juice though, supermarket blends mostly ("raspberry pomegranate" is my favorite). I don't let them drink it due to the aforementioned huge list of murderfoods.

cats are supposed to really hate citrus, to the degree that they sell citrus flavored spray as antiscratch or w/e

Just yesterday I saw my cat sniffing half of a lemon I left on the counter. Didn't seem to bother him at all.
