As much as I like it, even though I cleaned up straight after and had the extractor on full blast when I was cooking, I could still smell a feint whiff when I came back after dropping OH off at the station this morning - so I won't be making it again - sorry  :evillaugh:

I know a lovely old quaint pub in Faversham that has it on their lunch menu so I will stick to that another time  :evillaugh:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I wish Alice would grow out of her liking for egg yolk. I don't eat egg white and alice had my 2 yolks last night - showing no interest in the fish  :Crazy: (mind you, it was smoked haddock  :evillaugh:)

Chester has a saucer of my tea occasionally but the cats have never shown at interest.  :-:

I would think a tiny bit isn't going to harm. When you think of it, they have such limited variety in food and drink it's probably just the novelty of the taste and Milo might grow out of it.  :sneaky:

I don't a tiny drop would hurt at all.

I think caffeine might be the only possible question mark over tea?

Thankfully Max has never fancied mine, but he has stuck his paw in a glass of Baileys  :evillaugh:

Cuppa tea please

I know you aren't supposed to give cats milk, but recently Milk has started to slurp on any tea left in my cup in the evenings  :shocked:

So I started pouring a tiny bit (less than half a tea spoon) into the saucer, and he laps it up.

But is this going to harm him in any way?

Milo literally will eat and drink anything, milk has never given him an upset tummy. But the thing is his not cottoned onto when I have a cup of tea and sits and waits for it, he also now knows what "tea" means.

So should I nip this in the bud or allow my boy to share in my evening cuppas
