When you and Felix get to your third glasses of wine and he becomes irate or abusive, it might be time to talk about their drinking limit. Behavior changes due to extreme intoxication may be a sign of troubled drinking and worth exploring with your favorite little buddy. Although they might not have a problem right meow, they certainly could down the line.
