Cat droppings? We have those in spades! (Or, we have those if we did them out with a spade!)

We're in the money! We're in the money!

Jen said...

That was dig, not did. Sorry, it's early.

I can relate, but we'd make way more money if dog poop coffee became all the rage.

Hey, with the right advertising, we could get these rich morons to relish anything.

EWWWWW!!!

With four cats in this house, I've got plenty of cat poop. But make coffee out of turds? I think NOT!

Brooke said...

Gah! I'm not interested in THAT kind of flavor!

Seriously cute pic!

Actually this headline is a bit deceptive. First it's not strictly a cat, but a civet which is a cross between a cat and a monkey.

The civet eats the soft coffee cherries, digests the fruit pulp, and excretes the beans, which are collected and sold as Luwak coffee beans.

Now isn't that better than making coffee out of cat turds?

Not by much.

Brooke said...

No... I think monkeycat turds are probably worse.

cube said...

brooke: I wonder how a cross between a cat & a monkey works genetically?

Sort of like Vulcans and humans?

;-)

Civet cats are more closely related to skunks! They have stink glands too, slightly different smell though.
I'll pass, I'm not into the wild side with my 1 cuppa in the morning!

Okay, you know I'm not much of a cat person, but those kitties are tooooo cute. It's a shame they have to grow up.

cube said...

tmw: But the digestive action of the civet is what give this "coffee" its unique flavor... yeah, right. Like I said before, I'll stay with the Folgers.

beckeye: Kittens are cute. If I could bottle "kittenhood" I'd be as rich as Simon ;-)

My husband has taken to watching South Park again (hasn't really watched since season 2) and the other night he made me watch an ep where the folks were getting high on cat pee.

I thought it was far fetched.
