To think this is a bit gross?

Visited friend today, and had lunch. While there she fed her cats and I noticed their bowls were identical in pattern to the plates we had used, and after she loads our plates with their bowls in the dishwasher. When I exclaimed that it was gross to mix them she told me the cats used bowls from the family set and the whole lot got put together but it's ok because she uses a hot wash on the dishwasher. I am vegetarian, and while I know when I eat out the plate I use has had meat on it at some point no doubt, this has made me totally heave and I think cat food and a cat eating from the same crockery as everyone else is just gross! I assume not dangerous, but maybe?
Won't be going there for lunch again 🤢🤮

It is probably down to how you have been brought up. In our house pets' bowls were kept totally separate and we were told to not let the dogs lick our faces. I would also have been less than impressed to share crockery with a cat.

I have noticed a few friends don't stop their dogs licking the dirty plates stacked in a dishwasher - so grim.

It is probably more of a psychological thing, but then dishwashers don't always get things perfectly clean and I wouldn't want to risk it.
