Cat licking the butter.

[Theicingontop]

I'm posting this here because I'll never tell her how disgusting I think she is

So I was round my friend's house for a cup of tea. Whilst making said tea and chatting, her cat jumped onto the sideboard and began licking the butter in the butterdish. I noticed, pointed it out to friend. She laughed, said 'Oh he's always trying to get the butter' and put the lid back on the butter dish and shooed him away.

She put the lid back on. She didn't throw the butter away. She didn't even scrape the licked butter off fgs.

AIBU to think she's a filthy mare? And to make a mental note to never accept anything with butter on it at her house?

Disclaimer: I am not trying to start a bunfight about the humble butter dish. I am a butter dish advocate. I even own one.

Bit minging, yeah, but maybe she'll throw it out and clean it later?

Considering what else cats lick I think she is disgusting.

Depends how close the friendship - of not so close isn't it likely she was embarassed and would throw it away when you left while making light of it?

If she's your bessie mate then you tell her she's a minger

Well I suppose it must be good for the immune system

i have done it,i would throw it away if it was just a tiny bit left,but my butter is special organic stuff milked from the teats of virgin nuns and costs about 4 quid a block,no way am i chucking it!

Yuk. That cat tongue had no doubt been up its arse previously.

but everything has been somewhere previously.

Thats true Amber but my butter knife has never been up close and personal with a cats hole.

If it was my cat and butter I'd put the lid back on to discourage the cat from going back and then deal with the butter later. I wouldn't start clearing it up while I had a friend over.

but cats are really clean,their saliva probably kills most of the germs.

and humans lick arseholes too sometimes.not their own obviously.

Yuk.

My parents let the dog lick the plates after dinner but they go in the dishwasher so THAT'S ok . Bacteria wise it probably is but I just can't get with the programme I am afraid.

Amber but the only arses I see are my mindees.

No no no no no no.

makes not never to have toast at Amber's either

Note bloody ipad

Amber - I can confidently say I've never licked an arsehole, nor am I about to.

And I definitely wouldn't lick it and then go and lick the butter dish.

To be fair, if your response is 'the world is full of germs' to everything then that's ok-ish apart from when it comes to trying to prevent faecal germs.

I worked with someone who used to leave out the butter dish on his kitchen table. It took him a while to figure out why the corners of the butter kept getting rounded off.
It was his cat kicking it! Yuk!

Fucking revolting. I'd have binned it. But then I wouldn't have left food out while animals were around either.

Ime people with pets are blind to how revolting their behaviour is

One of my cats is the same, if we forget to cover the butter he is there in a flash licking away. We'd go through a lot of butter if we threw it away every time he got at it!

And since I hand feed my cats treats (which gets saliva on my fingers), and pet my cats fur (which they spend hours thoroughly licking every day), I'm not sure why it would matter if he licked our butter.

What guests don't know wont bother them - but since all of our guests try to pet the cats, they obviously can't be bothered about cat saliva!

Well that has to be cat only butter now. cat will be sick and walk backwards for a 28cm doing the sick.
