Awful Drinks Stink


“Dear Cocoa,

Never thought I would be writing to an advice cat, but here goes:  My pets are fond of having others over to the house.  They get wild and drink awful smelling drinks.  After a few of those horrid drinks, they start doing outrageous things.  I have learned to hide when that awful smell comes around because I never know what they will do.  What is that stuff and why do they drink it (it must taste absolutely horrible considering how bad it smells)?

“Dear Awful Drinks Stink,

I don’t profess to be the all-knowing feline of the world; however I do know a thing or two about pets.  In answer to your question, your pets are drinking their equivalent to our favorite nip (catnip, of course).  They drink several of them and then, feeling quite giddy, they begin to play like they should have been doing all along.  It is a chance for them to actually break out of their shell and become (almost) feline.  Of course, as with our nip, some take way more than they should and become incorrigible.  Hiding is your only option when that happens; and, to be honest, I encourage all felines to hide when the ‘pet nip’ comes out.
