Wine for cats and other four legged friends...
Permalink  

"News that the Japanese company B&H Lifes has started selling a new wine called Nyan Nyan Nouveau, which is made specifically for cats - yes, cats - makes one wonder what, exactly, the rest of the animal kingdom is supposed to do. The feline wine, apparently made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and catnip (though sans any alcohol), sells for $4 a bottle. Ill leave aside the bizarre idea that a wine for cats could actually cost more than Two-Buck Chuck, a wine for humans, and return to my earlier question. Suppose, for instance, your local Lhasa Apso is seeking a tasty adult beverage? What if the your neighbors pet goat has a craving for booze? Below, a few options for the other members of the four-footed set (which, Ill add, are all well worth drinking by people, too)."

Since it there seems to be a general animal theme going on for posts and this one is pretty out there, what do you think of "wine" for pets?

Is it ok since it is apparently sans alcohol or do you think it's crazy to buy an animal a beverage with hallucanigenic properties (catnip)?

My cat already acts like a drunk guy, always passing out on the couch and vomiting on the floor

Retailers are taking advantage of peoples love for their animals and selling them everything they can think of! With things like the doggie snuggie I am not surprised that wine for cats is a real thing. I don't see how it would be bad if the owners feels they want to spend $4 on a bottle of cat wine because many buy their pets cat nip anyway, but maybe those people have a little too much money if this is how they spend it!

though i don't think this is a stupid idea, i don't think cats should be given wine as there are homeless people on the street looking for their daily meal.

 Evidently. Running a company is quite serious.

It seems like a good idea for profit to easily swayed consumers but I don't think I would personally purchase this product since it could create a major risk for animals.

Animals were created as companions for humans. I think it's wrong for beverage companies to produce wine for cats; just give your beloved pet some regular milk!

 Little known fact: most animals cant digest regular milk. It crystallizes in their bladder and can lead to kidney failure.

 That also happens when you drink too much soda and start forming kidney stones.

this is a bizarre idea, creating wine for cats, but as long as it isnt harmful to the animal and the animal enjoys it and its a good profit, then why not?

i guess if its not harmful but i dont understand why anyone would spend money on wine for their cat. The cat will be perfectly fine without it.
