Beer drinking cat

[Maybole]

This evening after a meal outside in the garden, I was enjoying a beer and had just topped it up to the brim, when one of our cats, a large, robust but very friendly 2 year old tom jumped up, firstly on to my knee and then on to the table. He sniffed around the remains of the meal, which being spicy he declined, then sniffed my beer. I did not react immediately believing that he would turn his nose up at it. To my astonishment, he proceeded to lap it up for about a minute and then apparently satisfied, jumped back down,this time on to Sister-in laws knee and demanded a petting. He always did prefer women.

I have never seen a cat drink beer before, has any other member seen this behavior?

What brand of beer was it? 555

 

Could it be there was some food residue on the bottle/glass?

He probably learnt his owner's habbits ? 🤣

Ironically it was Tiger and he is a ginger tabby,-a tiger lookalike.

My parent's (long departed) moggie Flash would share a bowl of Mackeson stout with their Corgi, Judy.

 

Flash thought he was a dog! He would play fetch and enjoyed getting wet, he'd play in the garden watering spray and wouldn't come inside if it was raining.
