Everytime I have an iced drink, my cat Stuart wants to put his paw in it. It is a deep, burning desire that does not abate until the glass is empty. I have to cover my drink with my hand and keep moving it around to keep it away from him.

I had a ferret that would do that anytime I was drinking an alcoholic beverage, but he ignored tea, soda, and water.

You do know that's poison, right? He can smell it.

You think he was trying to save me from myself?

Nutmeg is a deliriant, you can have a really awful trip on it if you eat enough.

The spice must flow. I am seeing reports that a single teaspoon could produce hallucinations. TIL.
