Cats Drinking–An Epidemic?

First it was Luke below, passed out after a night with Good Spirits. Now it’s Bunnie (the kitten of rockin’-pals-and-blog-readin’-stalwarts Nicole and Jon), hitting the bottles once the parents had passed out from too many Valencias (word was that Bunnie was sipping the High Life first, then moved on to the Bud). What feline is next to take a turn into boozing? You tell me. And, for that matter, aren’t there any drinking dogs out there? Dogs are going to get a bad name soon, stuck in line at the bar behind all these cats. And what about drinking lamas? Pet ocelots stealing into the scotch? Don’t get me started on the helper monkeys and gin. Cause that action’s rampant.

Cutest Cat-and-Good-Spirits-Photo-Ever

See, even cats fall asleep when reading my books–it’s not just you (hopefully you after a passel of drinks). Really, though, this is perhaps my favorite book-in-action photo, until you send me yours, of course. It’s from my from-the-way-back-but-still-in-touch-with pal Kristine Moore, and the cat model is her very own Luke. She was picking out recipes from Good Spirits to whip together for some fabulous party, and Luke was helping, and then all that booze talk was making him sleepy, and so he conked out with the closest pillow at hand. Pretty darn cute and then some.
