Catfood forks in the dishwasher

[DancingDolly]

Aibu in thinking it's wrong? Dp chucks them in and it makes me recoil a bit to see them sitting there with little bits of catfood on next to the other cutlery.

If I'm right, how should they be washed? How do you wash your petfood implements?

YABVU!
It's fine! I also put the cat bowls in after they've used them, the dishwasher is hot!

Cat food sterile straight out tin, far less of a health hazard than many of the left out overnight and longer bits of washing up here.

YABU. I'd draw the line at the scoop for the litter tray though,

I have seen people put ashtrays in the dishwasher, that is disgusting. Cat food no problem.

Those of you who irrationally go 'eeewww' at the thought of catfood implements going in the dishwasher may be interested to know that if necessary, the major petfood manufacturing factories can be turned over to human food production within 24 hours if necessary - eg in times of war or other national disasters.

There's a woman with an excellent zombie plan. Can you tell us more interesting national emergency facts.

Blu, I am not entirely sure whether you are being sarcastic, or if it was a rhetorical question, but funnily enough, I am involved in emergency planning and take part in regular rehearsals and I am afraid to admit that There is no official Zombie Plan.

We practice for lots of other nasties (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear). There is a flatpack, portable, emergency mortuary ready to go for dealing with mass casualties, but we are not planning for a zombie invasion. I have just searched our website, and the word does not even appear.

YANBU - yes, yes, I know, completely irrational (rinsed cat food bowls go into our dishwasher for a proper clean), but there's something about the clumps of cat/dog food on a fork sitting in the dishwasher and stinking that makes me feel queasy too.

[Wanders off to examine neuroses]

YANBU it's absolutely gross.

ooh, Gambas. Please tell us some more.
On this, or another thread.
Sounds very interesting.

Unless your plates/utensils never touch any other dead animal sources, then I would be more worried about the nasty chemicals in the cleaning agents, than meat, unless you do not part take meat ;) Lol xxx

So in the event of a national disaster, we all need to buy a tin of Whiskas 24 hours later, to stick in our OFRS?

Gambas wins job-most-likely-to-fascinate-MNers prize, hands down.

I am deeply concerned about the lack of national zombie plan though - but maybe there is a special team/website for that one [hopeful]

You are all disgusting. I regularly wash my entire cat in unicorn tears and then take a flamethrower to the kitchen to ensure its sterility.

Pleease Gambas?

Spero unless you also shove garlic cloves up its bum (other thread going at the moment) to kill the bacteria up there, then you still ming!

Dammit. I knew I had missed something. How about I use individual forks, still in plastic wrap to push garlic gloves up its arse, then seal it in a concrete lined tomb in backyard? ten years should do it.

I think one of those sterile oxygen chambers like Michael Jackson was supposed to have is the only reasonable way forward!

I love it - from catfood forks to zombie invasions! gambas your job sounds cool but anxiety inducing. Maybe I'm just more neurotic than I realised...

Why do people rinse bits before putting plates in dishwasher? Would you rather have the food rotting in your pipes rather than caught in the filter?

And spero what do you feed the unicorn?

My mind is starting to go into overdrive.
eg, how many are planned for in the mortuary?
I thought National Emergency Planning died out in the seventies.

Off to google, if Gambas doesnt return.

I can honestly say I never gave a moments thought to the implement I used to dish up dog/cat food until this very night. And I am going to do my very best not to give it another nano second of my attention.

How do some of you people cope with pooing? Do you get a local anesthetic first and then hire someone to come at you with a sponge on a stick?

YABVU - what on earth do you think is wrong with catfood? It isn't toxic to humans you know.

A stick and a sponge which you then burn of course.

Or put in the dishwasher.
