This morning I was given 1/2 a bottle of Bollinger by a grateful client. Tonight I am home alone which is a very rare treat. I chilled it, poured myself a lovely glass and when I returned from a badly timed wee, I saw my cat - tongue right in there!

AIBU to pretend I did not see that she put the tongue she cleans her ass with in the Champagne?

YABU throw it away - there is a glass left to enjoy anyway you filthy animal
YANBU go on, drink it 😳drink both

I'd drink it, but my gauge for 'waste not want not' when it comes to bacteria is seriously skewed.

I dropped an expensive packet of blueberries face down in fox diarrhoea a few days ago. The packet had those little 'air holes' so the poo would have touched a couple of berries. Instead of being a normal person and chucking the whole lot, I decanted the berries into a sieve and poured boiling water over them, and then rinsed and soaked them.

I ate half and then got totally horrified at myself and chucked the rest.

😂Love that you did it, love that you told us you did it 😂

how can you be sure it's fox diarrhoea? What if it was dog diarrhoea? or a human had a bad stomach and had to squat down and let it out on the floor?

In Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, Leontes says 'I have drunk and seen the spider'. Because it was believed that, if you drank from a glass with a spider in it and didn't see it, you'd be okay; but if you drank and saw there'd been a spider in it, you'd be poisoned.

🕷

So have you drunk and seen the cat tongue? 🤔

LokiDoki75 · 11/10/2024 22:49

You know you need to nickname your cat Patsy from now on, don’t you? 😂

Crayfishforyou · 11/10/2024 22:50

I’d drink it. I kiss my cat all the time, and she has licked me.
Her paws have probably got way more bacteria on them than her mouth, is my reasoning.
And by the second glass of champagne, your reasoning will probably be along the same lines 🤣🤣🤣

AmyDudley · 11/10/2024 22:53

Drink it, take a worming tablet and eat an Activia yogurt - you'll be fine.

Gosh. I'd have probably rinsed them in cold water.

If I'd poured boiling water over them, I certainly wouldn't have thrown them away.

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 11/10/2024 23:04

I think I could tolerate that. My au pair drank mine! Years ago, though, and also a gift. She said afterwards that she thought i wouldn't want it as it was in the fridge for weeks.

Nana4 · 11/10/2024 23:08

I’ve not shared champagne with my cat but one morning I was in the bathroom when she barged in, leapt onto the sink, and began chewing my toothbrush🤮
I did replace it and put it head down in the glass from then on but I’ve no idea how long we had been sharing

Doingtheboxerbeat · 11/10/2024 23:12

I'm so sorry you are getting such hard time, despite you admitting that it was a lot @Sayoonara , but it was worth it to read @LyingPaintSample hilarious response 😁.

tolerable · 11/10/2024 23:21

Use a straw! that way anything (cat-lick-yukt )will cling to that leaving you free to enjoy the rest....
(made up facts)

Cryingatthegym · 11/10/2024 23:25

I briefly left my stir fry in a pan on the hob whilst tending to a crying toddler recently and came back to find my cat with her tongue in it.

I was so tired and hungry I pretended I hadn't seen it either and so far seem to have survived.

Would probably draw the line at fox diarrhea though.

That's hardcore!

My dog ate a turd found in long grass- probably cat, possibly fox.
a few weeks later she passed a thrashing roundworm.

I was so grossed out. {She is wormed every 3 months}

Went straight to the vets to say the wormers she was on weren't working.

Turns out wormers only kill live worms- if a dog eats the poo of another animal that has worm eggs in, they will hatch out.

Thankfully she was given a dose of wormer then and there, and haven't seen another.

i rapid scrolled past anything pooberry. Moving forward op- drunk direct from the bottle. agin.straw optional. The cat knows wht she did

ToNiceWithSpice · 12/10/2024 00:14

Mines done it before with my vodka and lemonade, I still drank it

Reinga · 12/10/2024 00:18

I admire your dedication to eliminating food waste @sayoonara but you could not have dragged that information out of me under torture 😂

Copperoliverbear · 12/10/2024 00:44

The have an antiseptic mouth apparently.

Like hell they do. A prior cat bit my finger and I ended up on antibiotics for the infection that was creeping up my finger into my hand.

Scorchio84 · 12/10/2024 01:10

Oh god I haven't had Bollinger or Veuve Clicquot in so long...

I'm treating myself very soon, they taste like velvet (more so VC) I'm glad you drank it @user47 I mean it's YOUR cat not some randomer 😎

mathanxiety · 12/10/2024 01:23

Could be worse. She could have playfully tipped it off the counter just for the heck of it.

Remaker · 12/10/2024 01:26

I have already switched to a bottle of water by my bed but thanks to this thread I am now looking at my tea with concern. They often appear interested in it but I never thought they’d actually drink it!

I would have drunk it too. I had Piper Heidsieck last night. Sigh, I wish it had been Bollinger.

Definitely start calling the cat Patsy!

I was afraid this was going to be the conclusion!

Lostsadandconfused · 12/10/2024 01:32

Definitely drink the champagne.

My cats used to regularly drink from the glass of water on my bedside table. We shared it, no issues. I switched to a narrower glass they couldn’t get their whole heads into so there would always be a few inches at the bottom for me.

Last weekend I ate a Krispy Kreme donut that had been dropped on the footpath.

bpirockin · 12/10/2024 01:39

Drink tonight, wormer tomorrow LOL
