Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005Anyone want a piece of steak.....
That may or may not have kitty spit on it? I had pan fried some steak a while ago and had been cutting off pieces and leaving the rest on the stove. Well I just heard a noise from the kitchen, and I immmediately suspected Mischief. I walk into the kitchen adn she's perched on the stove, with her head in the frying pan. When I shooed her off, she was licking her lips. ARGH! the little ****!!! I don't know whether I caught her in time or whether she was just licking the pan and not the meat. I don't know.....anyone think it's safe? Kristi I myself would not be eating a steak, but let's just say it was a juicy lamb chop we were talking here.....I cook all meat well done and think my cats' germs would mostly be killed by the prolonged heat of panfrying. I'd eat it anyway. Do you eat your steak rare? If so, just inside? Kittyspit would only be on the outside, right? Are you not the Wiccan? Are Wiccans afraid of germs? If I, the Hopitus, do not fear Kittyspit, why should any self-respecting Wiccan toss a good steak? LOL. > That may or may not have kitty spit on it? > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Kristi > I myself would not be eating a steak, but let's just say it > was a juicy lamb chop we were talking here.....I cook all meat well done and [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > If I, the Hopitus, do not fear Kittyspit, why should any > self-respecting Wiccan toss a good steak? LOL. I'm not a Wiccan, but I am a pagan, and I often find myself sharing kitty germs. If you want to have a glass of water on your night stand at night, you have to either go with a water bottle (harder to put ice in) or get used to kitty spit. Cats are professional back flushers.

They make ice cube trays for that now. I've seen them at Bed Bath and Beyond. Making long skinny ice cubes, just for putting into water bottles. *grin* Jane > They make ice cube trays for that now.

Humm, if they have a built in straw, it might not be so bad. I'll have to go to BB&B and check them out. SHOPPING!!!!

Of course it's safe! This happens to us all the time... :) Well, that and I usually kiss my kitties on the lips, so I'm used to the spit. :) SignatureVictor M.

Or my plate if they are pushy. I had to stop eating my lunch sitting of the sofa and watching TV cause the dog would stand with her paws on my shoulder figuring it was one bite for me and one for her, etc. Didn't bother be that much but she would do the same thing when Charlie was home and it kind of went past his gross out meter. Jo > >> I don't know.....anyone think it's safe? > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > to share food with my dog and cat off my fork and spoon. Or my plate if > they are pushy. I do the same thing, my cats (except the FIV one) and the d-thing eat off my fork though, and Leonidas likes yoghurt off my spoon. For my FIV positive baby, I will even chew the meat for her (hey, she has problems with her teeth, another problem with FIV). Now, she (FIV) doesn't eat off my fork or anything, but she gets it from my mouth (I take it out my mouth and put it down for her). > I had to stop eating my lunch sitting of the sofa and watching TV cause the > dog would stand with her paws on my shoulder figuring it was one bite for me > and one for her, etc. Didn't bother be that much but she would do the same > thing when Charlie was home and it kind of went past his gross out meter. > > Jo Shelby knows to lie down, just "behind" me, and she'll get treats. If she sits in front of me, she won't get anything. It's so cute to see her with her head tilted to one side (trying to see around the arm of the chair) waiting for her food treat from DH.

Me too. When I was younger, and this happened, I would hear my mother saying "No eating off the same plate, boys and girls!" It always made me giggle to have me and the cat put in the same category. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > I don't know I'd admit this to another group of people, but I've been known > to share food with my dog and cat off my fork and spoon.

I wouldn't do it after people -- why would I do it after my cat? When I cut up meat for my cat, I use a clean fork and knife. MLB > That may or may not have kitty spit on it? > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Kristi This is why I put any leftovers AWAY in the fridge immediately. I don't trust any of my cats NOT to commit very great liberties. (Yes, it's my fault for never having disciplined them adequately to stay off the counters and stove.) =o) You could try a quick rinse off with warm water if you're worried. Or pat it with a damp paper towel. But yeah, considering the high cost of meat these days, I'd probably eat the steak anyway after giving it the rinse off. Melissa > That may or may not have kitty spit on it? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > I don't know.....anyone think it's safe? Safer with cat spit than human spit! (Very few diseases your cat or dog have can cross species lines and infect you.) If you can overcome your squeamishness and pretend it never happened, I guarantee you'll never know the difference. > Kristi >> That may or may not have kitty spit on it? >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >> Kristi If you do decide to use it after rinsing it off in hot water, perhaps you could sear on both sides in a hot pan. MLB "Mischief" <krysfamulan@yahoo.com> had some very interesting things to say about Anyone want a piece of steak.....: >I don't know.....anyone think it's safe? You do plan to cook it, right? :-) I'd say cooking should take care of any kitty germs (besides, you live with her, you've already been exposed to anything she's got and vice versa).

Mmmmm! Steak! I used to drive my sister absolutely bonkers by letting our cat, The Puddy, lick ice cream off my spoon. It was so great (I was a teen-ager) to manage to give my kitty a treat and gross out my sister at the same time. A kitty eating things from the stove is certainly due for a good scolding, but it wouldn't slow me down from having my share. Regards and Purrs, O J >That may or may not have kitty spit on it? > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >Kristi She probably just got the pan. If she had gotten the meat first, she wouldn't have left it and it would be obvious that she had gotten to it. But kitty spit is harmless to humans unless they have ringworm. I think that is the only thing that crosses the species barrier. But I eat kitty spit frequently and have even swallowed a few hairs. Amber used to love eating off my fork and spoon and sharing my bowl/plate. Personally, I would rather trust kitty spit than most human spit! -- CATherine >That may or may not have kitty spit on it? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >I don't know.....anyone think it's safe?

I think she cooked the frozen chicken breasts Betsy was treating like a kitty popsicle a bit longer than usual, but she did eat them herself. Betsy would have preferred that they be left for her (her meaning Betsy, not Meomie) of course. Mandy (prefers chips and peanuts to chicken, just like Meomie!)
