Dear George,
I have been investigating human catnip, alcohol. Frankly, it doesn't smell very good to me even though I enjoy sniffing catnip. It's also inconvenient, since it has to be ingested in liquid form.
Do we know why humans are interested in this alcohol, yet have no interest at all in catnip? It seems odd to me.
Yours
Tilly,
Dear Tilly,
Alcohol has roughly the same effect on humans, as catnip has on us. Only worse. Humans react by losing their inhibitions in an enjoyable way though to an outsider their behaviour seems merely silly.
We cats always take catnip in moderation. We sniff, roll about a bit, and then walk away after a few minutes. Humans seem less able to use alcohol in this way. They will sit drinking alcohol for hours at a time. There are even alcohol bars and pubs, in which some humans spend their whole evening.
Cats who are unlucky enough to have adopted a human that cannot drink sensibly, should rehome it as soon as possible. Living with an alcoholic is too much for any cat.
Yours
George.
PS. My human secretary has come back and taken up her duties again.
Welcome back Celia! Such a relief for George - difficult for him to train a youngster without his secretary :-) How is George Jr. doing?

Well, nice assorted bar there! Jameson - hmm! Irish - like in the song "whiskey in a jar" (Thin Lizzy)! Tempting :-)

Miss Tilly....hope you are not drinking that Coca-Cola (you poked your nose in). Not proper for a young lady!

Absolutely right! My human went sober (through rehab) right after my adoption! All is good!
