Bastard Cat has been at the raw pigs in blankets

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.

Hell no! Unless you plan on eating them all yourself, then that’s your choice, but don’t inflict them on anyone else without telling them.

TabithaTowers · 24/12/2020 20:26

Hell I'd eat them. My cats are always nibbling our food.
One of my kittens jumped in a bowl of lasagne when he was teeny, I still ate it.

I wish I’d find this in AIBU now with voting options. It feels to me that the ‘eat them!’ Faction has the slight lead?

Done, not find.

I'd run under the tap, cook and eat them provided they hadn't been mauled. I once caught my cat licking Bolognese which had cooled in a saucepan. I boiled it up to buggery and ate it. The Bolognese not the cat.
That was 17 years ago and I'm still here.

Most recently I turned my back on Haribo and saw he'd nicked a piece of buttered malt loaf off the table and deposited by his food bowl. I ate that too, that was just over a year ago, still here. I might come across as a minger but I'm a very much alive minger Grin

Urrgghhh no! Write them off for this year and let Bastard Cat feast on them.

VicMackey · 24/12/2020 20:56

Crazy how a little cat lick on some dead pig bits is so revolting to some people 😂

Staffy1 · 24/12/2020 21:02

@Camphillgirl

Cook and let others eat them. Don’t let on though.
That’s the last time I go to a cat people’s house! Unfortunately most of my friends are cat people. Grin At least rinse them OP. Even cooked, the thought of cat slobber on them is gross. Somehow I don’t think I’d feel that bad about dog slobber, but if it was a dog the pigs in blankets would have disappeared in two seconds, so there wouldn’t be this dilemma.
VicMackey · 24/12/2020 21:04

You just need to look up the pigs eyelashes /eyelid in the Morrison’s sausages thread from last week....then the cat lick would pale into insignificance 🤮

@VicMackey OMG SNOWY!! Grin

Sparklfairy · 24/12/2020 22:31

These stories have reminded me of my birthday at my aunt's house. She served us the cake, we all ate it. It was only afterwards that she confessed she'd cut it and left it on the side and dog had jumped up and eaten two slices (square cake) and she just served us the rest! Envy

Murinae · 24/12/2020 22:39

I’d still cook and eat them. The cooking will kill of any bugs.

Dee1975 · 24/12/2020 23:08

Our cat got Santa’s mince pie tonight ...!

CookPassBabtridge · 24/12/2020 23:09

God I must be a gross person.. I wouldn't think twice about still cooking and eating them 🤷🏻‍♀️

cushioncovers · 24/12/2020 23:10

I'd rinse them under the tap and still cook them.

Naturally....

EggnogAndAMincepie · 24/12/2020 23:41

Cook them!! I'm pretty sure I've eaten loads of stuff my Cat has licked, sniffed, stuck a paw in or shoved his arse on when I haven't been looking. I'm still here to tell the tale

mogtheexcellent · 24/12/2020 23:49

Dog just ate the cupcakes we left out for santa. She's now flumped in front of fire in a sugar coma. She also ate the wrappers so hoping DD doesn't notice they are missing.

At least the carrot for the reindeer has convincing teeth marks Hmm

JacobReesMogadishu · 25/12/2020 07:38

@farawayplanet

The cat'll have licking its bum 😄
The sausages are probably made from a pigs arse.
FuckOffDailyFailure · 25/12/2020 07:42

I don't even have a cat and I think I'd risk this. Am I disgusting? I thought the thing they were worried about with cats is toxoplasmosis, which dies if you heat it well.

Catsup · 25/12/2020 08:00

I'd not have a problem with eating them. But then again I also did not have a problem with kissing Dcats face after they'd had a rather enthusiastic mutal bum licking sesh with my other cat 😳... I have a robust immune system! (clearly from many years of germy cat transfusions).

IHaveBrilloHair · 25/12/2020 08:07

I'd eat them, but I'm also a cat kisserGrin

userxx · 25/12/2020 08:15

The sausages are probably made from a pigs arse.

Exactly, you're eating arse hole anyway. They'll be fine.

madcatladyforever · 25/12/2020 08:17

I've never caught anything off my cats for 40 years. Eat them. The cooking will kill any germs.

@Yoffel

I have decided to pass as knowing my luck at the moment I’d end up with something hideous. I have cooked them and offered them to Bastard Cat but of course he’s not remotely interested in them now. And of course he knew. He’s a Bastard.
We’ve had to abandon (cooked) food because sodding kitten has chomped it. We always chop it up and freeze it for later to break the link between crime and ill-gotten gains. He usually steals chicken so it’s high value, cat-suitable protein. DH would probably not allow him to have sausages because the kitten eats better (more heathily) than we do. Grin
