Yeah, There's a Wine for Cats
SF Weekly ^ | Rhys Alvarado

Posted on 11/08/2013 5:02:41 PM PST by nickcarraway

A Japanese company has created Nyan Nyan Nouveau, a non-alcoholic wine for cats.

Let's face it, your cat probably doesn't like you. Or need you. But maybe that can change.

In the likely case that you're drinking that glass of Napa red alone, give your feline a reason to join you. As Kotaku reported earlier today, Japanese company B&H Lifes has released Nyan Nyan Nouveau, a wine made exclusively for cats.

Nyan Nyan in Japanese means "cats meow." Nouveau refers to Beaujolais Nouveau produced in the Beaujolais region of France and popular in Japan. The drink contains no alcohol but is made with the juice of Cabernet Franc grapes, vitamin C and catnip and reportedly tastes like wine. The drink is meant for cat owners who wish to celebrate special holidays with their kitty.

But order soon, because there are only about 1,000 bottles available. Nothing like a new habit for the independent furball.

Apologies for the profanity, but that's how Doom (Now deceased) treated me every Friday afternoon.

How many years were you a butler, and did he leave you a bequest in the will?

I'd hate to have my cats get hooked on it and then find there's no more available. They are vociferous enough now when it's their dinner time.

Old Story .... I heard this story broadcast last month, from a Houston-based syndicated morning show, “Walton and Johnson”, that I have been listening to, since I moved to Louisiana in 2000.

And they have no attention span. They would have a nap attack during the first step.

Besides, I can’t imagine a cat on AA coffee. Bad idea.

And if they’re forced to go, they catnap through them.
