All catgirls produced by the Catgirling Machine need some specific sort of carbonated beverage in their diet.  Out in Fenspace, getting this might be problematic.  I'd suggest, quite early on, someone waved up:

the only problem being while this dispenses the needed drink, on a per-catgirl basis, it always tastes faintly of tea...  So, while the catgirl remains healthy, they might end up with a craving for "the real thing".

Many catgirls might also have their "personal storage" in a waved icebox of their vehicle when they are away. Its not that they ONLY drink their personal beverage... Wink

Still, a machine like this would make a great surprise for some Fen coming through a new area, catgirl or not.

I was working on the basis that catgirls could get by on a standard human diet, or even Dole Yeast, but they needed to have their specific carbonated beverage. Yes, I'd hope most were wealthy enough to have a personal vehicle, with supplies, but in hard times...

I think the same.

It sounds like an interesting solution for every place who expects random catgirls from time to time *G*

I suspect this is why there are so many American-style diners in Fenspace - one can get a wide variety of carbonated beverages at a diner.

And they, in my experience, sell many more of them than the non carbonated ones; at least during lunch and dinner service.

So, do I get accused of blasphemy, in saying that I don't like carbonated drinks? [grin]

Only if you go to an American Fast Food chain.

The Diners and other more sit down places won't. Plenty of lemonades, teas, and milkshakes available.

Hmm...

So, start with:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonated_water

Move on to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_drink

And in particular:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...oft_drink#Health_effects

To things like this:

I'm going to assume that catgirl metabolism is different from standard human, at least in so far as ensuring there are no health risks from moderate consumption of the "carbonated beverage" which they need to consume as part of their diet for continued health. Otherwise, that would be a rather nasty thing to dump on them, and they've got enough problems, anyhows.

Though, maybe the catgirl equivalent of an alcoholic is someone who drinks their required CO2 beverage to excess, because it "feels good", and they might reasonable start suffering from health problems?

I think it's safe to say that any biomodded person (and that includes victims of the Catgirling Machine) has a non-standard biochemistry of some sort. As another data point, note the lack of effect oral contraceptives have on Leda Swansen...

Ah. and you two found out about it the *ahem* hard way. Thanks for the point back on that one.
