Think I just licked cat poo 😱

[Disgustedandfreakedout]

Thought it was a chocolate smudge on my arm from my toddler.... what's likely to happen... so disgusted with myself!!

This can’t be real.

Yeah, sure you did! Are you not already back at school?

Erm… not sure. I’m abit grossed out you ‘licked yourself clean’ instead of wiping it off with a cloth?!

This reminds of my favourite forum thread ever (which also is probably not real)

You’ll probably be fine if you routinely worm your cats. And if you go use some listerine. I gave a tiny little kiss to the top of my cats head once and then realised she had somehow smeared shit on the top of it when grooming. That was 3 years ago and I haven’t died yet. I would in in no rush to repeat it though, it was rank.

Sadly I wish I was joking.

Lick it again just to be sure

Be grateful it was cat poo and not dog (or toddler). Most cats don't re eat another species shit.

I agree Listerine or drinking lots of alcohol is the best way forward.

Unless you actually ARE a cat why are you licking your own arm clean?

Am i the only one wondering how you got random cat shit on your arm?

Did it taste nice?

@AlmostAJillSandwich I picked up my cat for a cuddle...

Why would you lick a random stain?

Do you also put your loo brush in the dishwasher?

Oh come on! No one on this post has ever licked a finger to get a crumb of food off themselves or a child? Liars.

OP, you'll be fine. Just brush your teeth obviously.

I have genuinely never licked my own arm because I thought someone else had got chocolate on it, is that really so hard to believe?

What's your AIBU?

I kissed my DC's pooey fingers a long time ago, when they came crying with hand outstretched and I thought they'd hurt themselves

If it's just a smear you'll be fine, assuming your cat is regularly wormed.

Why are people pretending they wouldn't lick a bit of chocolate off their arm? To be fair, though, it is Mumsnet, so they'll probably be telling you how many calories you consumed from the cat poo in a minute.

I absolutely believe you.. my late mum scraped some 'chocolate' off the doormat with her thumbnail before I could say 'the dog's getting old & incontinent..' :-0 I never did tell her, it was too late by then..

Your house must be clean for your mom to be willing to eat chocolate off the doormat

🤣👏👏

😂

My DS once ate a piece of cat poo and I called 111 and they said as long as the poo wasn't several days old he would be fine!

You clean yourself with your tongue like an actual cat?

Obviously

OP you should have posted in the litter tray where the sane people are

You will be fine
