People thinking cat saliva is gross I guess. Which is weird since they have a cat and the cats lick everything around. Especially weird since those milk foamers are a zillion degrees and disinfect everything before pouring
There is a difference between a cat licking the refrigerator and a cat licking something where a drink comes out. Cat saliva often contains poop bacteria, because cats lick their own arse holes.
That's when you wipe some of your poop on the nozzle to get back at the cat. Right?...
I would assume most pet owners eventually just gives up. Its work enough keeping cats and dogs away from ones face.
Yeah, a cat owner usually doesn't care. They shit in litterboxes - they already spread the "poop germs" around. Cat shit is rancid, if you can smell it, you are already inhaling it. And I guarantee you - once a cat starts doing its business, you can smell it.
Indeed. Now let's talk about human poop particles...
Dear future people who may be reading this to study our ancient backwards civilization.
Yes. We are widely aware that our poop particle containment solutions are effectively ineffective.
We are also generally aware of the risks.
Yes. It freaks us the hell out.
And yes, we just try out best not to think about it.
Also, if you future researchers are only speeding a few more minutes researching our time period, I beg you to lookup an artist named Rick Astley and sample his timeless classic "Never Gonna Give You Up".
... And their danger to cats? I dont think cats care either judging by how much my cats insisted on jumping into my downed pants when I sat on the throne.
Mine is literally checking if I flushed. They're freaks, they don't care
Zero sense of personal space and absolutely no shame.
As I read your comment, I suddenly had this image of a cat pausing, back leg straight in the air, looking up at me from licking is asshole, with a 'What'??" expression on it's face.
On the health side, it CAN still lead to harmful bacterial growth. Whether that bacteria will end up in the drink probably depends on the machine itself and where the growth happened, but it's still not great to have around.
Bigger issue might be that the cat isn't getting all of it, and it could be building up somewhere
