I've heard that it is very good, though I haven't tried it.

I heard on the radio a few days ago that coffee made using Jungle Cat dung is the latest rage.

Well, it can rage right on past me.

Blah!

I doubt I would buy it. If it was offered to me? Absolutely. I've had some strange Asian food that I wouldn't try again, but sea snails were great and I'm sure you take in a little snail poop as well.

Something happens to the beans in the journey through the cat's intestines that gives it a flavor that is celebrated by coffee drinkers.

:eek: Well that put me off a bit, but the theory is sound. If the cat is only selecting the best beans, rather than the general 'anything goes' beans most coffees have then you'd get a great cup'o'joe.

Treated properly, a coffee bean that's passed through the nether regions of a cat isn't really any worse than eating a pig's flesh, sheeps brain, cow's liver, or the myriad of other things humans eat without giving much thought too. :)

As long as my coffee doesn't have a hairball in it I say it's all good.

At $300.00 per pound (http://www.washtimes.com/national/20020325-78733448.htm) I don't think anybody will be offering me a cup. Then again, we can all use another expensive habit right? My dog loves cat poop, maybe I'll make him share next time.

Wow, when I was younger, my dad used to tell me a story that is similiar, only it was foxes instead of monkeys or cats. The foxes would eat the coffee beans and poop them out, and the Vietnamese people would collect them and brew a cup of coffee. We kids thought the story was pretty darn funny. On second thought, any story with the word "poop" in it is funny to any kid at that age...

I babysat my nieces and nephew last night. The two year old was running around saying "cat poop" - a possible WHT lurker? :eek:
