Sometimes, you can remove items hazardous to your cat's health from your home, such as daffodils. However, certain food products, like coffee and grapes, may be more challenging (or impossible) to nix from your lifestyle.

While we might see this behavior as strange, it probably makes perfect sense to your cat.
