Police in California said a call about an unusual loiterer at a Starbucks cafe led to the wayward pet goat being reunited with her family.
The Rohnert Park Police Department said the town's emergency dispatcher received calls early Sunday about a loose goat wandering around Wolf Den Plaza and further calls soon revealed the animal had walked right into the plaza's Starbucks cafe.
The on-duty sergeant responded about 5:12 a.m. and found the goat enjoying a nice meal of cardboard boxes inside the Starbucks.
"The goat apparently needed a caffeine fix," police said in a Facebook post.
A second post later in the day revealed the goat had been reunited with her family.
The 11-year-old goat, named Milly, was found to live only two houses away from the plaza. Her owners said they are planning to build a fence to prevent Milly from escaping a second time.

I do not drink coffee at home.'
I get all my caffine from Coke® and other products.
We do have coffee for guests when gatherings occur.
I'll have to try the leftover coffee on the goats to see the reaction I'll get.

This is EXACTLY what my 3 would do: eat the boxes!!
Milly looks very much like my Jack; who is 7 now.

I’ve never noticed any of my goats having an ability to catch something edible tossed at them.
Maybe being a prey animal does not require the skill set of a predator: the knack of determining just the moving meal will be a few milliseconds from where it is now.
