Cafe au cat spit

And how to avoid this. Why is what you are drinking so interesting to a cat when you know darn well they are not subject to caffeine addiction. But the solution is simple. Remember those one off saucers, the old ones with graceful infloriate patterns (infloriate is a technical term for a design which combines elements of art nouveau AND art deco in its flourishes.) The yellowed center is still only slightly crazed but you have only one, and no cup much less more of a set --- go ahead and buy these saucers and then use them for cup lids. Voila, your beverage is cat safe.
