My cats don't get people food very often at all and they certainly don't get any leftovers. There has been a few times that I will let Speckles stick her nose in my glass of milk and lap up a few drops. Then there was the time that Max dove into my mashed squash. Oh yes, and the time that Speckles stole a pork chop bone off my plate and hid behind the Christmas tree with it.

It wouldn't bother me if they licked my plate. I guess that makes me disgusting too. Besides, I put a bit of bleach in my dishwasher with every load.

And what about all those parents out there that lick the spoon your child just licked??? Or the husband and wife that share the same toothbrush.
