Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal - Now enhanced with Catnip!

Enjoy it Fluffy...

It's a conspiracy! Starbucks is now trying to hook cats! Have they no shame?

In all seriousness, that cat loves Starbucks oatmeal. I have never seen anything like it. It was like From Here To Eternity, only with cats. And oatmeal.

I must try this with my cat. Does it come in differet flavors, or just plain?

Is it under $5?

Will the cat try to scratch you if he/she doesn't get their fix?

Will Starbucks be opening at a local Petsmart soon?

This and more at 11.

I tried some today. It tasted like Quaker Instant oatmeal.

Not worth $2 something.

My kitties reject all people food, no matter how delicious. Even though they go nuts every time I prepare or eat a meal, begging and crying for a bite, as soon as I actually offer them some, they reject it. Then they make the pawing motion, as they do when burying their poop, to fully demonstrate their distaste and disapproval.

Come to think of it, they do this with their cat food too.

Ben, u must tell us if teh oatmeal haz teh same colon cleansing powerz on kittehs that it has on humans.

Okay but which kind did you get? Maple and brown sugar, Raisin cinnimon, or Beef and Chicken?

Of course the cat loves their oatmeal, it is full chicken fat

My cat will only eat macarofl and meatlols.

Growing up, we had a cat that found plastic bags tasty for some odd reason or another.

Conclusion: Starbucks' new $5 oatmeal probably tastes like plastic bags.

What's your cat's name? Is it Steve? He looks like a Steve.

I'm morbidly curious now... I must try this with my cat. And perhaps my mom's cat.

My (nearly identical) kitty loves oatmeal as well. The oatmeal she gets isn't $2 a bowl, though!

I wouldn't even feed myself $2/bowl oatmeal.

[i]I want chicken
I want liver
Starbucks Oatmeal please deliver[/i]

My cat (also black) is this way with graham crackers. He will grab at them with his paw, claws fully extended, as I'm trying to eat them. Maybe it's the honey, or cinnamon? Who knows...

My cat is like this with babies.

Sweet, mouth-watering babies.

One of my cats loves Doritos and other people-food (this is the cat that's a lot like Stewie from Family Guy, swear). He's a feline garbage disposal; he'll eat anything we drop on the floor. Occasionally he'll jump up on a kitchen chair and peek his head over as if to say "hay guyz, so what are we eating tonight?" The other one couldn't care less about things not in his food bowl.

My fiance's dog likes falafel. Not so big on the hummus though.

NOO The Consumerist Tax Cat has sold out!

It makes complete sense that you're a cat guy, Ben...

Okay, so oatmeal has lots of fiber and moisture... who's going to take over litter box duties?

@rpm773: My ex's cat used to lick plastic bags all the time. I don't know if it was the taste, the texture or the sound, though.

I can has Starbux pawtmeal?

Hmm...I'll have to try this with my cat (who looks strikingly like this one but much more...um....obsese)

@zimzombie:

"My ex's cat used to lick plastic bags all the time."

I'm guessing it's the texture. One of our cats loved to lick them.

@JayDeEm: My cat is like that too, but with chicken wings. I am not kidding. Doesn't matter if they're raw, frozen, fresh out of the fryer, or slathered in delicious hot sauce. Mmmm... chicken wings...

Unfortunately for Cleo she is on a no grain diet so she won't be trying this one soon and will have to stick with venison and rabbit.

He not only craves it; He DEMANDS IT! D<

Cute, though. Was it at least people-palatable?

Starbucks has oatmeal? Is it burnt like their coffee?

@MyPetFly: I thought we were the only ones who's cat loved to lick plastic bags. She prefers Boston Store, grocery store and Target must not be the right type of plastic.

Used to have a cat that would go all psycho for bananas.

I was at starbucks this morning and I guess someone before me ordered the oatmeal and requested that it be "the best tasting bowl of oatmeal ever". All the workers started bitching about it that if they are making it their is absolutely no way it will taste good. I just laughed at their comments how hard can it be to pour oats and water into a bowl and heat it up seriously?!

The cat I'll have in the future too shall enjoy plastic bags and Starbucks.

Is this safe for cats? I want to try this with my kitty too

@failurate:

"Used to have a cat that would go all psycho for bananas."

When I was a kid we had a cat that loved refried beans.

Starbucks...now serving the new double-shot catnip latte.

That is too funny - but don't give him the coffee.

@MyPetFly: my cat goes bonkers for (i kid you not): sour cream, refried beans, mild salsa, and the occasional sip of tequila and/or dos equis.

Maybe it's "purr-fect oatmeal"?

my building's cats FREAKED for this stuff, too.

i have no idea why. tastes pretty good, but...i know what i can feed sick kitties now given that they would likely walk over hot coals to get it.

My cat licks up left-over salsa. (Yes, she does have water!)

Consumerist needs more food reviews done by cats.

Its the tasty little weevils kitty must like.

Is it safe for cats eat oatmeal? (I don't have a cat, so I don't know.)

So, is the cat still alive????

Oh my god your cat is more adorable than mine. No fair!

@trixrabbit: We had a cat that would go berserk for mushrooms. Just those plain button mushrooms that you get in a can. It was bizarre.

On a story related note: "Perfect oatmeal"? Really, Starbucks? The Quaker Oats guy is putting a hit out on your mermaid as we speak.

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM

Certain "earthy" smells are attractive to animals.

Sunshine Oatmeal Cookies are my dog's favorite snack.

While growing up my dog would raid the family garden and eat the green beans.
