So if your cat's tail went in your tea...

[coffeerevelsrule]

...would you still drink it?

If the circumstances were that you were stuck on the sofa beneath two cats, one of whom rarely gets lap-time as the other pushes her off, your teen had made you a tea in a break from revising for mocks and had now gone back upstairs, and the tail only went in for a few seconds. In those circumstances would you drink it? Asking for a friend...

Well it's quite easy if the cup is close to their arse and they stand up to stretch e.g.

Yeah this is getting weirdly competitive as in who lives closest to the filth of a Monty Python peasant IRL and likes it.

No, it isn’t! My house is very hygienic, hoovered and moped twice a day. All dishes go through dishwasher on “sanitise” setting and the animals have their own dishwasher. I just don’t really care if they put their tongue in my drink, since they lick me often anyway!

Cats are very flexible, but no way would the average cat's arse fit inside a teacup.

Now that's a sentence that's going to flummox AI. 😂

The same tongue they clean the shit off their arse with? You’re ok drinking the cat shit that has washed off their tongue? No wonder scientists estimate that 30% of Brits are infected with the toxoplasmosis parasite.

I'm not suggesting the arse would fit in, just the arse end of the tail! This is getting way more complicated than I expected. I think it depends also on if your cat is smooth or fluffy whether that end would dip in. I don't have a cat or I would experiment.

If it fits, I sits 😽

I would drink it. I won’t eat food my kids have touched though 🤣

Some studies have shown around 44% of people don’t wash their hands after using the toilet. You are picking up shit particles, either from animals or humans, in many, many places.

There's no tea in that cup. 😁

I don't like tea but my late OH would have drunk it - he'd never get any tea otherwise. DCat3 loved tea and stuck his paw in every cup my OH made (once it cooled enough) to have a lick.

Sometimes if it wasn't cooling fast enough he'd knock the cup to make it spill so he could lick the puddle up.

The same cat also used to throw cat nip toys into his water fountain to brew his own cat nip tea.

I don't have a cat or I would experiment 😂😂

Which is why I always wash my hands and don’t drink tea that has had a shitty tail or shitty tongue dipped in it.

Surely hot tea would pasteurise any introduced germs?

I don’t have a cat but I wouldn’t give a toss if a cat’s tail went in my tea.

Anyone who has a cat is constantly touching things their cat has touched and will inadvertently be transferring germs to their mouths all the time anyway, and this doesn’t seem to have caused the human race to die out.

🤣🤣

Grew up with dogs and around farm animals. Often a lamb in the kitchen.

Rarely ill, have the constitution of an ox. A few germs are good for your system 😜

Bleugh - No.

And I would shoo the cats off while quickly made another cup.

Animals and their filth do not rule my life!

(however much I love them)

This took me right back to the 90s 😂😂😂😂😂

I wouldn’t even bat an eyelid if my cat sat her cute little arse on my chopping board before i
prepared tea. Yes I know that makes me a minger. No I don’t care.

Yes because my lap cat is a little prince who can do no wrong and is as clean as a freshly laundered fluffy towel.

Yes, and I confess I have drunk my tea after one of the dogs has had a slurp of it. Still alive

That's 'cos he's drunk it all 😆

NO

I would drink it but only if my teen had been revising for mocks, otherwise not a chance. 🤮

Absolutely not.
