Peppermint tea?

Pearl wants to drink some of my peppermint tea! Is peppermint tea ok for cats?

Marina...

I believe peppermint belongs to the same family as catmint, so that's
probably the attraction. Don't know if it's safe.

EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)...

Well, catnip belongs to the mint family! (So I'd say "yes",
if she really wants it.)

When Lily went through her "taste mommy's peppermint tea" phase, *SHE*
seemed fine. But my tea wasn't....she sneezed in it!

I had a cat that was greedy for anything I happened to be eating. Once
while eating some raw cucumber I saw the cat licking its chops and broke
off a piece of cucumber for it. It took a sniff and gave me the most
obvious "You've got to be kidding!" expression before it trotted off.

Marina...

I expected to get that look when Miranda was showing interest in some
raw carrot sticks that I was eating, and I gave her one to sniff. But
no, she licked at it a long time. Couldn't figure out how to eat it,
though. ;o)

======================================
With some cats, they don't actually want to eat it, but must be offered
some. I'd give Spicey a taste and she'd try to bury it and stalk off.

Persia is that way about tuna! When she first acquired me the vet
prescribed some pills for her and told me to tuck them in tuna packed in
water. She turned her nose up in disdain. He couldn't believe it. I
believed it. I despise tuna myself so I was stuck having paid for a can of
tuna she wouldn't touch!
