There is now wine for felines so you can officially drink with your cat


The next time you break out the Pinot noir, you don't have to exclude Fluffy from the festivities — just pour a glass of some Pinot Meow and you and your cat can be on your way to a good time.
While alcohol is dangerous for pets, Denver-based company Apollo Peak is now making non-alcoholic wine for cats because this is America and it's entirely necessary. There is not much wine-y about this wine, though: Pinot Meow, MosCATo, and Apollo Peak vintages are all made with "organic catnip and water and colored with organic beet juice," reports The Huffington Post. Unlike a Japanese wine for cats, Nyan Nyan Nouveau, which was made with grapes and could be toxic to felines, the Apollo Peak recipe checked out with the ASPCA.
"It's made like a tea, but since we got it to look so much like a wine, we want it to be perceived as a wine by the consumer — that way they can feel as though they are having a glass of wine with their pet," Apollo Peak founder Brandon Zavala said.
