Why Cats Can't Taste Sweet

This is interesting. I wonder what's in "sweet" cat treats, such as those Cat chocolate drops, that attracts them. I'd often wondered why a cat (or a dog, for that matter) would have a different form of chocolate to humans. Now I know why.

My dog loved chocolate, although he'd mainly have the doggy chocolate drops, rather than human chocolate. Not that he'd ever stick his nose up at human chocolate. He used to love it so much, it would make him drool just thinking of it (read: begging for it).

Hi Mr/Mrs/Ms O'Nine. I hope you washed the glass after the lovely Moufette finished drinking.

Just like Captain Picard? Dom sounds awesome!

To be honest, when I first saw this thread's title, I had thoughts of an entirely different nature, such as "Just add sugar to the pot."
