Bastard Cat has been at the raw pigs in blankets

[Yoffel]

I prepared all the pibs and turned my back for five mins to make a list. When turned back Bastard Cat was on the worktop having a good sniff/lick. If I cook feck out of them now do you think they’ll be ok? No option to get any more.

Sigh.

I wouldn’t risk it myself.

I wouldn't. Too many bugs from the cat. Maybe banish the cat outside whilst you cook

I'd cook and eat them without a second thought.

But then I kiss my cat, and he likes to lick my face. I never get ill, my immune system must be good thanks to him.

I would - think how much food he’s probably done it to over the years and you have no idea!

Aren’t they just sausages wrapped in bacon? Wash them under the tap and cook them well.

Seriously...wtf?! You'd actually still eat them... not envy

I'd cook them and eat them.

The cat'll have licking its bum 😄

I would. But my cats are strictly house cats.. so don't carry anything.

I feel your pain though. I have one cat that does this at every given opportunity. He waits until our backs are turned and jumps straight up to see what we've left out.

If they're not chewed I would cook and eat them without a second thought! But I have been woken on many a morning by my cat licking my mouth, so I may be desensitised!

I would, what could a cat possibly be carrying in their saliva that would survive the cooking process and make you ill if ingested?

Ugh that is gross. I would chuck them

I’d cook and eat without a second thought.

Cook and eat - they will be fine.

And for those who are being squeamish - they are literally made of pig - so worrying about what a cat may have done is pretty inconsequential to what the pig may have. (And no I’m not a vegetarian).

Yep.

@Livpool for what reason would you chuck them? Its raw meat. Literally dead animal. It needs cooking?

Yeah, cook and eat.

I’d still eat them

Maybe chop off any bits that have been chomped but apart from that, I wouldn’t have a problem with it

Nope. I love my cat but cats lick their arses and a cat bite is more serious infection wise than a dog bite, so absolutely no way. Sorry OP, your bastard cat has stolen the best of the Xmas food!

As others say, a cats tounge is not much more germy than dead pig surely. I'd eat them

If you're cooking them then it's fine. How clean do you think a pig is?!

I'm sorry OP just snorted there at your cat 🐈‍⬛ licking your pigs x

I'd rinse under the tap, cook and eat.

Get rid of the ones closest and cook them now. I wouldn't be giving them to the cat neither, those things aren't daft.

Maybe stick the cat somewhere else while you're cooking though.
