Why I don't like cats
One of many reasons actually -
I quote:
"Salmonella bacteria is more common in the faeces of cats fed raw meat or those that catch wild birds. Infection follows a faecal-oral route (you clean the litter tray and scratch your lip without first washing your hands).
It may be cute, but cats should not be allowed on food preparation or serving areas!
Pet owners are often extremely indulgent of their pets. If you do allow your cat on or around food preparation areas, you should be aware of the risks.
Note: The food shown was discarded and the surface cleaned, in addition Irene has lived and worked with cats for long enough to have built up an immunity to most of the minor infections he might be carrying."
And also:
"It is not recommended that you share your ice cream with your cat - her mouth may contain viruses and bacteria. That tongue may have been licking her bottom shortly before licking your ice cream."
