I’ll have a mocha – with extra mog

WHILE waiting to be served at a trendy cafe, I spotted a handwritten notice behind the counter amid the steam, proclaiming ‘We now have Cat Milk available’. My mind filled with wild images of feline dairies, where skilled operatives herded and milked pedigree cats. I thought of the possibilities: Catuccino, Caffe Catte, perhaps a Cat White. The odd thing was that I didn’t instantly think the whole idea was completely preposterous, given the milk fads we already accept as normal. Then the steam cleared, and I saw it really said ‘Oat Milk’. But I won’t be surprised if it actually happens.
