"A London department store has started selling coffee for $100 a shot.

"Civet cats: The coffee beans are collected from the animal's feces.

"If the price sounds unappealing, shoppers also have to overcome the unusual method of cultivation, which sees the coffee beans harvested from the feces of an Indonesian jungle cat."

If anyone is interested, I've been feeding coffee beans to the local feral cats. I can let it go for about half of what these clowns charge.

Old news, sorta. The "beans" were on sale a few years ago. Sorry, don't have a link.

There is a certain type of coffee bean that is "processed" through a monkey. I hadn't heard about cats. Maybe Lyra should rejuvenate her marketing, she's got competition.

Yeah, it's old news. Just shows what yuppies and other urban pukes will do to impress themselves.

I watched a show on Animal Planet last year about Civet cats and they mentioned about the coffee that's made from the cat poop and how it's collected and processed.
