My cat likes to drink unsweetened Lipton Cold Brew iced tea. Should I let him drink it or could it make him sick?

Cats & dogs will drink antifreeze if you let them, and it will kill them. I'm not saying that the tea will kill your cat, my point is, cats and dogs don't know the difference between what is and isn't good for them. And it's a well known fact that people food and drink is not for our pets, it's usually too rich for their systems. Milk will give any cat or dog diahrea. You should give your cat water only. Or ask a vet, in fact ask more than one, you'll see.

I really don't see the problem b/c all it is is some kinda plant leaves and water. I don't think he'll get sick. If people can drink it than i would think its ok for cats too. And hey your cat hasn't got sick by drinking tea before has he?

You should not let your cat drink Tea. Most teas have caffine in it and this can cause her heart to race to the point where it can explode. A little probably wont hurt but i would not take the chance with my cat.

I wouldn't give him tea you could mess him up with the caffeine that is in it, he should just drink water or special cat milk

He can drink it but try only 3 times a week. You never know what ingredients could be harmful to animals! LIke chocolate and peanut butter.

well cats ammune systems are a little bit more weak than humans so he probably wouldnt digest it really well so just give him a little bit then if he gets sick then he wont want anymore! and don't give it back to him!

I would'nt do it myself. Maybe milk once in a while. Mainly they need only plain water. If in doubt, call a vet...

It won't hurt him a bit. Let him drink it if he wants to.
