Why is my cat so interested in my tea cup?

Well, it all depends on what the ingredients of the tea are. Some cats just love to smell different teas. One of my cats love the smell of coffee- and that just boggles my mind. We may not know why cats do what they do, but they surely keep us entertained!!

Hello beauty queen. I think that it is the good smell of the tea that drives her to have a desire to taste and drink the tea you make. Yes? Good tea always smells good. I love to drink tea as well. Good day to you, friend.

no idea.maybe because it's yours and she wants to know if it's something she wants. i'm still trying to figure out why my fluffy cat wanted my mom's orange juice. he'd walk right up,look at her,then stick his paw in for a drink. most cats hate citrus..

Well I don't drink tea, I don't like it. So I don't know if my cat would drink it or not. I know my cat will drink my water. I will have a cup of water on my nightstand or on a table and he will try to drink it. He will have clean and fresh water, I guess he thinks mine is more fresh and clean. So I have to watch when I have a cup of water somewhere. He likes to lick the ice cubes that are in the water I think too. I have seen him do that. When it gets really hot I will sometimes put ice cubes in his bowl of water.

I think its just your cat as my mum's cat is never interested in my cup of tea when I stay with her. He is too interested in being a mummy's cat or off causing trouble outside.

Some of the teas that are for relaxation.. have a touch of Catnip in them...that might be why!

awww thats cute :P I guess it depends on what you are putting in that tea cup, any milk or sugar? what kind of tea is it?
