2547.0. "Coffee-Cat????" by NRADM::CONGER (What's ONE more cat????) Wed Jun 07 1989 09:59
re: Note 2542.6 "Cats in the Flowers"
>>> coffee-grounds,lemons, and other non-aromatic-to-cats things.
Okay, I wasn't going to say anything, I was just going
to assume that my cat is just wierder than everybody else's, but
Lynn's remark really got my curiosity going...On the weekends I
usually make myself expresso in the mornings, it's the closest I
can come to Tobin's High-Test...:) I've been using Cafe Noisette,
which is hazelnut flavored. Of course, being saturday morning, I
do drop a little bit now and then while I'm trying to spoon it
into the pot. Here's where the fun begins! Missy will roll around
on top of the coffee, making strange mewling noises (she does not
do this with catnip, at least not to this extent!) and then she
acts *really* strange for about an hour or so (of course, I gave
it to her on purpose a couple of times to see if that was really
what was doing this to her). After she has scrubbed the coffee
into her face with her paws, and scattered it all over the
kitchen, she acts like a slap-happy drunk for awhile....Really!!
She waddles around and does stupid things...It's really funny, but
I don't give it to her anymore because I didn't know why she was
reacting this way and if it might be harmful to her...So, does
anybody else have a coffee-cat??? (or have any idea why I do????)

| 2547.1 | olives for my cat | MAMIE::RUSSO | | Wed Jun 07 1989 13:20 | 6 |
| My cat acts the same way but with green olives or olive oil. He
rolls around howling and howling... It's cute but I'm not sure
that it's good for him. I have another cat that is not affected
by them at all.

Mine don't roll around in it but Duke likes to drink
it from my cup!!
(they just knock over the trash and the grounds end up on
the floor...grr!)

| 2547.3 | new career on horizon (counter-top) | TIDES::CIOFFI | | Wed Jun 07 1989 13:53 | 9 |
| Sounds like the beginning of a new career.....marketing "coffee
nip" in all the various kitty attractive coverings, burlap, mouses,
balls, etc. etc. You may have discovered something great!
Although I don't like the mess so not likely to experiment......
on second thought, maybe it will make him less grouchy!!

| 2547.4 | coffee-face | NRADM::CONGER | What's ONE more cat???? | Wed Jun 07 1989 15:26 | 10 |

Well, it's not so much of a *mess*, since she mushes
it all into her face and walks aroung with coffee all
over her wiskers and nose... (then she gets to clean
it off - yippee). She actually `does cute' when she
sees me take the container out that has the coffee in
it!!! `Oh Boy Mom - can I have some coffee - PLEASE???'

Oh my gosh! Now I don't dare try the coffee grounds in the garden!
I have visions of 27 cats from all over the neighborhod clamoring
to get in the garden..... think I'll try the red pepper or lemon
first....
Thanks for the tip!
