    This is what stops me from having cats at home even though I love them :(. They walk and track things around everywhere.

    Also, if you think you trained your cat to stay off of food surfaces, no you didn’t. You just trained them to stay off of those surfaces while you are around to see them.

      Indeedy, cats go where they want. When I’m around they stay off the counter but at night she’s wherever.

      Which is why my cutting surface is not the countertop, it’s a cutting board that’s kept inside a cabinet she can’t physically get to. Also if I do have to use straight counter, I wash it down! I mean, I still wipe it down even when using a cutting board, in case. It’s just extra washed.

      I love cats for their soft fur and little meows.

      I love my cat but the idea of it walking in my food… man, I see what those toe beans do in the litter box, I do not want that around food.

        I don’t think it’s germophobic to want the cat, who stands in his litter box (which gets scooped every day and replaced twice a week) fulla pee clumps and turds, to stay off the counters and especially food.

        I accept my dogs and cats - any pets - are going to be expanding my exposure, shit I give them raspberries and kisses… but not the cat’s toes lol.

            Today I caught my dog merrily eating and rolling in a pile of shit. He was shocked (shocked I say!) when this action earned him a bath. Our sweet little gremlins are gross af.

      2 out of 3 of my cats would not see a punishment in this. The other will pack his bags and never be heard from again (till dinner time)
