Has anyone else had a pet that likes to try to eat pipe tobacco? When I pull a jar out of cellar and crack it open he comes running. At first I thought he just liked the smell. Today my wife asked what’s hanging out his mouth. I opened his mouth and it was a piece of ribbon cut black cavendish. I must dropped a few pieces when loading my pipe.

It's just toxic in general. It's often been used in insecticides.
My girls run away from coffee, alcohol and tobacco. Used have friend who's dog definitely enjoys sharing a pint with him.

The cat and I are going to have serious a problem if starts to try getting into the bourbon! One of us will have to go…..the wife it would be me!
My beloved Lili Goon didn't like to eat tobacco, but she loved playing with pipe cleaners and would climb up on my lap when I was smoking, and then make faces if any of the smoke got to her nose.
In regards to the potential for poisoning, I did lose her after she got suddenly fell ill. It all happened in like 36 hours. The vet doesn't know what caused it but I think it might have been some kind of toxic plant or chemical she got into when I wasn't looking. I'd always figured cats would naturally avoid toxic substances, but I guess I was tragically wrong, and since I share my home, I wasn't fully aware of what could potentially be around for her to get into. Not that I think a ribbon or two of tobacco would result in something like that, but I know losing my girl broke me in two and has caused me a lot of guilt.

My friend and his Dad used to have a delightful Golden Retriever, and we were known to drink quite a bit of Jameson. If any spilled on the coffee table, you'd have to restrain the mutt while wiping it up, because she loved that stuff lol. Just what we all need, alcoholic pets!
We used to give it to horses for worms.
Be careful. Internet sensation "bigfoot" Jinx the cat was purrfectly normal until she ate some Ennerdale Flake.
Then.....
Then.....
Just the thought of a horse working over a big chaw in its mouth makes me laugh!
One of my cats, Althea, is obsessed with pipe tobacco and seemingly virginias over other varietals but she likes them all. I have to leave bowls out to dry in a cabinet but have given her a sealed Tupperware with a mix of virginias and dfk that she rolls around with and carries around. She absolutely hates the smoke though which doesn't matter since I don't smoke inside.

Back on the farm as a kid I remember that they would put a cigarette into a dogs food as a dewormer !
I expect to see your cat posting here very soon!
