LOL,

One of my aunt's cats got a few licks of the ham that was on the
counter...Those of us who knew just fell over laughing. (The non-cat lovers
would have had heart attacks)

Thankfully, my other half was raised in a household where the cats regularly
jump up onto the counter and "steal tastes", or jump on the set table to
explore and see if they might want an olive. I learned very quickly while
dining to flip my cloth napkin inside out after I sat down. I forgot once and
the cat had dusted it with cat fur.

There are cat people, and there are non-cat people. Never the twain shall meet.
We had cats at my house growing up, but they were expected to mind their
manners. Not nearly as much fun as HIS mom's house where you have to chase the
cat down to retrieve the turkey!

Are you all ready for it? Any second now, the "sensible" posters will be coming
along to mention why we shouldn't be eating food with cat spit on it or serving
it to our guests!

Considering that a cat's mouth is probably much cleaner than a human there
is no harm done. There were plenty of times Isis took a bite of something I
was eating and I just kept going.

<< OMG, that's too funny, Candace.  That's exactly what I did with the pie
Mickey
was eating at.  No one was ever the wiser :)

Well, I was wondering what you did but it seemed impolite to ask.  It's what I
would have done, too.  I just would have made sure I got a piece from the other
side.
