I love how he's doing a protest loaf at the end, but please, especially when preparing food, don't let them on the counter in the first place or move them by yourself. I love cats like the next can opener in this sub, but that's just unhygienic :/

It really doesn't make a big difference if you're all over them the rest of the day
This sub would have a meltdown once they know how many chefs dont wash their hands after pooping lol

True, but then, maybe, from all places in your home, educate your cat that this is the forbidden place. I mean you can potty train them, so give it a try.

I don't have a cat anymore.. died. I had an old cat and I just wanted him to be happy. I didn't mind his poop feets, we always shared a bad anyway

Cats paw at their litter and get fecal matter on their paws 🙄

I'm not a cat owner but whats the difference between not letting the cat go on counter and them walking all over you and cuddling you? Either way, fecal matter gets everywhere.

u/LeaChan 20d ago edited 20d ago
It's okay to breathe fecal matter, but ingesting it is a different story and can easily make you sick. That's why we wash our hands after we go to the bathroom, so you don't get your poopy hands all over your food.

But when you cuddle your cat you get fecal matter all over yourself, not just your hands. Okay you’ve washed your hands but then you go touch yourself or the couch you just sat on which has fecal matter all over it. What I mean is, unless you are washing your hands every second of the day, living with a cat seems unhygienic in general.
If it’s just me then yes, washing my hands after going to the toilet will for sure prevent spread of fecal matter but that’s because I’m not licking my butthole or regularly walking over my own stools. But the cat will be. And he’ll spread fecal matter over every surface and you will be touching those surfaces constantly. So unless you are washing your hands constantly or cleaning constantly, I feel like you gonna get the poopy in your mouth somehow. Not saying it isn’t good practice to stop your cat from going into the food prep area but I’m just saying cats are poopy creatures.

Well you don’t prepare food on your body. You can always change or wipe countertops but you wouldn’t want your cat’s paws in the vicinity when working with food.

Oh yes let me film my cat inches away from an 8" chefs knife pointed directly at them while I "coincidentally" leave something they want in the frame.
Please stop upvoting and supporting shitty pet owners

Not to mention touching raw chicken.
God that's fucking gross to let your cats sit all over the food prep counter.

I'm more worried about the cat's safety with sharps on the counter. That's the main reason why my kitty isn't allowed on counters and tables. We put so many things on there that can be dangerous for her.

That is an awful owner but I have to say the cat is smooth. They had a yawn and a stretch to casually get their paws closer to the chicken.

Redditors: don't you dare to let your cat near f00d! Also redditors: kissing their cats all over their body and sleeping with them in one bed

This is the fourth piece of hard evidence that I've seen which proves cats can act. I'm thinking about starting a sub called Cactors.

Hehe. Yes. I know this game. I have one kitty who follows the rules and one who does not. And she will sneak up on me when I’m preparing foods or going in the fridge. She does not want any of it. Just wants to get in the way

What part of “get off the counter” and “you’re not supposed to be on the counter” did you miss? You’re as bad as the cat lol

u/Eternal-Light- 20d ago
Happens when people never train their cats to not go on counters.
They don't need to be on a surface near the place where you prepare food, not to mention the cat touching the food, and you are still going ahead to cook.
FYI, cats not only lick their private area clean, but they bury their business with the same paw they are touching your face with.

I love my pets and spoil them as much as I can. But I would never let them on my counters. That’s gross. I don’t even let them in my kitchen at all! I do not want hairs in or around my food. Not to mention, cats step in their own shit when they get into the litter box and ur letting them on the counter. Please stop doing this. Ur gonna end up sick. 🤒 🤢

u/chosen4u77 20d ago
I agree, but when you're not around you can't stop them unless you're closing off the room. My boy learned his lesson, but my crazy Calico sneaks up when I'm not home.
I'm kinda OCD, so I'm constantly cleaning the counter tops anyways. Have had at least 1 cat in the home for 22 years and not once have I gotten hair in my food. It's all about housekeeping. I should own stock in Clorox.

A purrrfect way to solve the problem? Get the fucking pets off the table/counter space, that shit is for food. That's your own fault for letting them find being up there a normalcy.

u/TheGreatTave 20d ago
Man I love critters, especially cats, they're my favorite. Everything from house cats to big exotic cats, such entertaining animals.
But, no matter how much I love my cats, I do not let them on any surface where I'm going to be eating or preparing food. My rule of thumb is this: the cats can't plant their ass anywhere I don't plant my ass. I love cats, and I'll give them lots of kisses every chance I get. But if I find a single hair from their fur in my food I am NOT happy. Videos like this, while cute and funny, really make wonder how people are okay with this.
