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

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?

Oh cute, your cat does the "drink with her paw" thing :3!
-
look it's cute but these floors haven't been properly washed in like a year, and i do not want that paw in my drink okay
-
I’m sure she keeps it very clean (i.e. swimming with cat mouth bacteria)
-
i don't care about cat mouth bacteria, i have a functional immune system for a reason. but i dont wanna drink whatever has been festering in the dirtiest corner of the room for a year

+1 for toxoplasmosis!
-
this keeps coming up so i should just get tested for toxoplasmosis solely to show the results to people on the internet. p sure it's negative if only because i took a course of an antiprotozoan medication that should have killed it even if i was infected
