My cats also loves ice cubes. It's a bit of a tradition at this point, any time I get a beverage I have to give one in their bowl.

They don't do much with it but an occasional lick and watch it melt but they'll purr and stay put until it's gone. I like it, I think it lets them feel included.

My cat too! Ever since he was a kitten. We call it the "ice tax". Whenever anyone in my house uses ice for any reason my cat will run up and meow at the person and basically demand a cube. They then have to take an ice cube and throw it into the bath tub while the cat gleefully chases after it and bats it around in the bath tub.

I had a cat that loved this too. I'm pretty sure he could hear the tiny little trapped bubbles "sizzle" as the cube melted.

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.

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.

Yeah I started putting a good amount into my coffee cuz it tastes good and then wondering why I felt like shit the rest of the morning.

As far as I know, cats and dogs can see heat to a certain extent, so this could look really interesting to a cat.
