I will be honest, when I first read this story, I nearlly laughed,
until it cut in how serious this really was. I bet they won't have too
many dinner parties in light of this story

Oh, POOR kitty!!!!! Of course, having grown up prior to the
"drug culture" of the 1960's, I tend to think the owner
should not be allowed to have pets, but perhaps that's too
harsh. I've known dogs who enjoyed being given the dregs
from an empty beer bottle, and I once (inadvertently) got
one of my cats a bit high on brandy.

It was holiday time, I had just poured myself a glass of
egg-nog when the phone rang and I put the glass down on the
coffee table to go answer it. I came back to a HALF glass
of egg-nog and a somewhat bemused cat on the floor looking a
bit unsteady on its legs.

I once (inadvertenly as well) got a rabbit plastered on sherry- same
scenario, it was Xmas my friends wanted to see one of my show rabbits
so I brought the tamest buck we had out. This was when mum was
starting to consider me and my friends "grown up" enough to have a
small sherry at Xmas (not one of us would dare to tell her we had been
in the pub the night before!) so we were talking and we put our
glasses on the floor then when I reached down for mine it was empty
and so were several others....and the rabbit was staggering toward the
door....I went after him and he ducked into the cupboard under the
stairs whereupon in his somewhat befuddled state he mounted a cylinder
vacuum cleaner and attempted to mate with it!

He didn't look very happy in the picture, did he?

However, the article mentioned that the cat had both coke and
benzodiazepines in his system, which was probably a lucky combo
for him. The latter are minor tranquilizers that help ease anxiety,
stop seizures and muscle spasms and other kinds of agitation. So
those drugs might have prevented the coke reaction from becoming
too bad, or possibly even deadly.

Poor thing! I'm glad he was OK.

Your both right of course. He was an extremely lucky cat. Had he not
dabbled in the latter too, he would have been in a right old state!!
I'm glad he was ok too. I have a feeling that the dinner parties will
be somewhat less flamboyant from now on... Poor old Puss cat,

Uggh. Reminds me of the stories about John Lennon in the depths of the
sixties-- he had a pharmacist's mortar and pestle, and would just grind up
together whatever hallucinogens he had on hand, and sniff that. Whenever he
felt like getting high again, he would ingest whatever little flakes were
left clinging to the bowl.

The pic of the kitty looks about how he must feel.
