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

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?

I knew a cat that would eat coffee. Like, ground coffee beans. Crunch crunch.

I had a cat who was fixated on beer, and who would happily knock your bottle or glass over to get at it more easily. it does kind of make sense given that it’s basically just liquid carbs

cats lack the sweet taste receptors completely

yeah I’ve never heard of a cat who liked soda at all. so cute!

Yes, my cat also *liked* less-fizzy bitter lemon or ginger ale. The only reason i came up with was that my cat investigated the behavior of people around him and deducted that i won't be toxic.
