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

Fuck that, I'd still drink it and be very impressed by my cat for being very regal in her choices lol 😂

Your my hero and so is your cat 🐈 😻

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.

I've given in and keep a low, wide glass for the cat's use by the bed. I sip mine, she stands on me and lap lap laps at hers.

BTW, hope it was your Krispy Kreme and not just one you'd found... 🤢

Compash · 12/10/2024 03:32

OP, it could have been worse, it could have been a Dirty Martini... 👅🍸

Never turn your back on a cat near your drinking vessel...

I regularly share a yogurt with my cat - we both eat from the same spoon. If nothing else it builds up my resistance to germs.

Oh yuck! I would throw the whole glass away. We all know where cats tongues have been.

Totally agree. I see that we are in the minority here, but I wouldn't have drunk it. Am sure you will live, though!

UtterlyButterly2048 · 12/10/2024 06:45

I’d definitely drink it. Any one of my (also ass licking/literal shit eating) dogs occasionally stick their tongue in my latte/hot chocolate/tea and I just crack on and it’s never made me ill. They’ve never gone for the champagne though, so I am very impressed with your cats refined tastes!!

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.

Only on MN.

They can be as tall as adult humans but my children managed to pick them as preschoolers so they aren't all that tall. Definitely in the sheep poo region.

Everyone knows not to pick blackberries etc. at dog pee height. Dogs do pee on them (as good boy Ollie’s brother demonstrated to the world recently)

I'd bin the champagne and as for the poo infused blueberries - eurgh. Are you the poo troll @Sayoonara? That isn't just a health risk, it's disgusting.
Champagne is a lovely drink, but I'd rather drink cheap Cava than drink anything my cat had stuck her tongue in.

FFS I've said already it was a poor judgment call.

I've been on Mumsnet for more than a decade, report it if you think I'm a troll.

Aw, most of us just really enjoyed the laugh, but you know there'll always be posters wanting to stick the boot in and put people off sharing their 'wtf did I just do?' stories.

Sorry it was a tongue in cheek comment, I don’t think for a minute you’re the poo troll. He/she is into human poo not fox poo mixed with blueberries 😂

I’m assuming the blueberry fox poo lady is above 5.

Rosscameasdoody · 12/10/2024 16:55

I’d drink it. And I’d raise the glass to your cat for having such style and taste !!

JohnTheRevelator · 12/10/2024 17:36

Oh sorry OP,I had to laugh at this, having been on the receiving end of cats sticking their tongues in my food or drink many times over the years! When I read the thread title,I thought it was going to be about a family member nicking your champagne! Was she tipsy? 😂

Ah dear. I've swapped to a Yeti cup for holding my overnight water after being woken up one too many time by a lapping cat with her face in my pint glass.

Mumoftwochildrenand6furkids · 12/10/2024 18:19

Oh come on its girls night in drink and enjoy it def would not stop me lol.

BlueFlowers5 · 12/10/2024 18:22

I'd drink it, raise my glass to my cat, and enjoy x

Single50something · 12/10/2024 18:22

I used to always take a glass of water upstairs at night. One night I woke to hear the cat drinking it...I have no idea how often she did it..🤣

Crazycatlady64 · 12/10/2024 20:24

A few years ago I made a lovely fish pie as we had a friend of my husband and his wife coming round. Left the main mixture to cool slightly while I did the mash etc. Turned round to find my cat had eaten a fist sized helping out of the serving bowl! Was still wondering what to do when they arrived. I’ve no idea what the problem was but this woman was rude, obnoxious and generally acting very angry at even being there. Every time I tried to engage her in conversation I’d get a yes or no answer.

so! I smoothed the pie over, covered it in the mash and cheese, made a mental note of where the cat had tucked in aaaaaaand… fed her that bit! God it felt good! 🤣

Ethylred · 12/10/2024 20:31

Cats are fastidiously clean, you're imagining things and she didn't do it anyway, you're gaslighting her.
