 A London department store has started selling coffee for $100 a shot. Proving once again that a fool and their money are soon parted. If the price sounds unappealing, shoppers also have to overcome the unusual method of cultivation, which sees the coffee beans harvested from the feces of an Indonesian jungle cat. What's so strange? People have been buying politicians $hit for years and it's cost them a lot more than this. Even so, the Peter Jones store says the luxury blend -- called Caffé From a few extremely wired cats, no less! "The cats select the best beans to chew. It's rather like a natural filtering process," said Carie Barkhuzen, a spokeswoman for the upmarket store in London's upmarket Sloane Square. The coffee, which went on sale Thursday, is available at $100 for a shot at the Peter Jones Espresso Bar, or shoppers can buy 100g (3.5-ounce) packs of the coffee beans to take away for the same price. "It's not exactly flying off the shelves -- it's very expensive, after all -- but customers are buying it," Barkhuzen said. The fact that it's expensive is probably not the first reason it's not flying off the shelves. The proceeds from the coffee sales will go to charity.
