Cat has done me dirty!

I can’t sleep. The cat is wandering about the house, as they do. She just walked over my pillow and onto my bedside table. I heard a strange sound… looked over and she was rubbing her head on the straw of my drink mug! Also gave it a lick and a quick nibble! Does she do this every night, and I’ve just been blissfully unaware?! I drink from this quite a lot during the night!! Now I’m realising, mr and the damn cat have been sharing a drink 🥴 she’s a keen arse-licker, too. So her butt is also in the straw!!

I caught my cat the other day licking the rim of my mug which I had bringing tea out of.

My first thought - is this the first time she's done this or just the first time I've caught her?????

I suspect it's the second option

🤮I once caught my dachshund standing on the arm of the sofa and drinking my, luckily lukewarm, cup of tea on the table next to it. I don’t want to know how many times we’ve shared in the past.

It’s a giant Stanley-type cup(I’m poor, so it’s actually from B&M!) so I assumed it was safe from interference from critters. Apparently not

My glass of water on the bedside table is always covered ever since I woke up to find mine having a midnight drink.

Don’t read on if you are afraid of spiders..

Always turn the light on before having a drink - you never know what has crawled into your glass.

This is also a good reason to keep your water covered.

I watched the cat drinking from DH’s water glass and swapped the very next night to a water bottle.

With a previous cat I did put the toothbrushes away. This lazy lump can’t be arsed jumping up. Our very low bed is the limit of his athleticism. So toothbrushes are thankfully safe.

(I also have to keep my water glass in the wardrobe overnight as DCat is an inveterate water stealer)

Ooooohhhhh, okay. She’s your baby, I can see it. Or he, sorry.

Cats gonna cat…

Ever since I saw a video on Twitter of someone’s cat chewing their electric toothbrush while they slept I have kept my toothbrush in the wardrobe overnight 😆😱🤢
