I drink coffee with my cat. I can’t remember exactly how long ago we started doing this, but it’s been a while. My cat has always liked to sit in a chair at the table and watch me eat, read, whatever. She’s so curious about what I’m doing (when she’s awake). I think, one morning, as she was sitting watching me, I lifted my coffee cup her way and asked her if she wanted some. To my surprise, she jumped up on the table to sniff it, like she was seriously considering my offer. Then she sat and stared at me. She was expecting me to respond to her (or yell to get off).

So… we started a discussion about coffee. Ok, I discussed, she listened. I think we both enjoyed the interaction. Now, just so you know, I do not let her on the table when there’s food out. She knows better and so do I. Anyway, our little coffee moments are just for us and I enjoy this bonding time with her. Who knows, one day she might get her own cup. I wonder if she’s a creamer girl or would want it black. I’m betting on cream.
