Liquor Kitten!

Enfilade - 04 May 2008 16:45 GMT I got my dad a bottle of Scotch for his birthday and Tyche is curling up around it, smelling....smelling...
It's not even open! This is the cat that drank a large portion of a Rum and Coke when its owner put it down on the end table while watching TV....only to find Tyche's head in the glass, her tongue going lap-lap-lap and 1/4 of the drink GONE....
I've also caught her licking the necks of empty beer bottles.
She appears to be stalking the scotch, waiting for her opportunity...waiting....

When Dunzi was a kitten she tried to drink from beer cans quite often and even now she will sometimes sniff them- she also used to run off with cigarette butts in her mouth. We reckoned she was an apprentice lounge lizard!

Nope Sarsi is the punk kitten..Dunzi after an initial period of potential lounge lizardry discovered catnip and meditation and now lies about purring and being one with the universe unless a housefly comes near at which point she becomes the big black fly hunter. Sarsi remains enamoured of rock and roll, occasional destruction ,toys and loving Daa-dee and has recently started to dig Frank Zappa seriously which given Dunzi is named after a Zappa track is ironic

Enfilade - 04 May 2008 21:59 GMT Tyche is also fond of coffee. I don't get it, all the others seem to think both coffee and liquor smell foul.
Tyche is an A.D.H.D. kitten and the LAST thing she needs is caffeine.

And here I thought Princess was the only coffee drinking feline. When I want the other cats to leave my coffee cup alone, I just hold it out, they sniff and shake their heads and leave it alone. Hold the cup out to Princess and she takes a deep sniff, and if it's not too hot she'll start licking. -- Steve Touchstone Little Bit, Sammy, Spotty, Princess, Furby and Rocky (RB) Pix at http://tinyurl.com/22pfn8 Vids at http://tinyurl.com/4yb6nj

The only thing he doesn't do is smoke, I guess. But with him, he's really after the milk in the cup-- her just tolerates the coffee.

Enfilade - 05 May 2008 02:14 GMT Fortunately, Tyche is not a cigarette fiend.
That'd be Smokey.
Smokey had to quit secondhand smoking when he came to live with us, though he had a bad relapse during 2006 when my brothers-in-law stayed with us ;)

She doesn't have dogs or cats of her own, but ours are crazy about her.

It used to make TED so mad because he thought we were deliberately giving the guy his fix. When I explained all the precautions we were taking to try to keep booze, especially beer, away from the big guy, TED said he understood. But he kept looking at me with an expression of mingled disgust and fascination.
Pam S. who really did try to keep alcohol from the cat

Another cat of ours liked coffee - would lap it right out of your cup.
A friend had a sheep dog who like Kahlua.

Cats aren't SUPPOSED to like alcoholic drinks, but I once set a glass of eggnog (well-laced with brandy) on a coffee table while I went to answer the phone, and returned to a half-glass of eggnog, and a somewhat inebriated kitten!
> I've also caught her licking the necks of empty beer bottles. I understand most DOGS are very partial to beer, given access to it.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Only ten, not twelve? Which one's do you feel she can do without? LOL! Well, apologizing / making amends to all those she's offended is pretty much out the window - I've never known a cat to feel regret about anything that didn't cause their own embarrassment or discombobulation. And believing in a power greater than themselves is not gonna happen (after all they were revered as gods in ancient Egypt and have never forgotten that). Come to think of it - there's not many "steps" that would apply to a cat, is there? ;>
Hugs,

Enfilade - 06 May 2008 22:48 GMT A power greater than Tyche slapped her across the face for crowding the pillow....
...though I don't know how acknowledging Nocturne's divinity will fix the liquor issue.
