One of my cats likes to drink my Fresca. He actually has a brand
preference. I know it's not normal but is it dangerous.

I doubt it. There's a cat water on the market (still?) that is
carbonated chicken flavor or something.

I believe Fresca is sweetened with Nutrasweet. This is bad enough for
humans but is probably even worse for cats. I would suggest stopping
(both of you!)

I totally agree! As if the taste alone isn't enough to kill someone!

Midnight likes to eat popcorn. I tried to give Cody a grape once when he
kept begging; he just rolled it around the floor like a toy.

Camille loves olives, and I've had other cats who did, as well.
They're like catnip to some cats.

I've read time & time again that many cats love olives. So far, none of my
cats have - I've tried w/ each cat. Then again... green or black olives, I
wonder? Or depends on each cat? Have I been offering the wrong olives?

Since I don't bring the vile things into my home, I have no idea what
Kami thinks.

Green. In particular, Spanish olives, in my experience. :-)

Well, they weren't the wrong olives, then. Just non-olive-loving cats. ;-)
