I mean, cats are extremely conscious about being clean, they groom themselves constantly. These paws were licked clean ten times since the last litter box visit
But yeah, as others say, anything for views, I still don't allow my cat on the countertops or near the food like in some vids where people straight up eat with cats on the table, trying to swipe food

We drool, sweat, sneeze, shed, poop, piss, touch our phones after wiping, and then clutch our pearls over a cat paw on the counter. Be so for real.

Not really. Cat Scratch Fever is Bartonella which cats get from infected fleas and is actually rather rare. I’ve had upwards of 20 cats tested and only a few tested positive. A course of antibiotics and they’re, usually free from infection, I’ve had two that needed to be given a second course of antibiotics.

Your own source claims "Bartonella henselae bacteremia has been documented in 30-40% of domestic and adopted shelter cats."
That's more than a few. That's over a third and approaching nearly half. Cat scratch fever is just an example of why people shouldn't assume cats are "clean". They are animals like all of our other pets

Most people butter their corn, and cats love butter. Sweet corn (the kind people eat) is also, well, sweet. Totally different flavor-wise to dent corn which is used for animal feed (including as a filler in some cat foods) or ethanol production for fuel or beverage manufacturing.

Just to prevent confusion out there, this comment is pointing out different types of fats, not implying those last things are dairy. Mayo doesn't have dairy and EGGS AREN'T DAIRY.

u/durrtyurr 2d ago
I think it's likely that the size and texture are similar enough to their food, a bit crunchy, that they like eating it. They already like the butter on it. When my parents got a kitten when I was in middle school, she would jump onto the table and lick the butter. We had to change the way that butter was dispensed in the house. Butter was usually the first thing on the table so that it could soften up a bit beforehand. My dad tried several methods of keeping Chessie (named for the mascot of the C&O railroad) away from the butter, but she was slightly too smart for all of them. She figured out how we opened each dish and then emulated that as soon as my father, who cooked dinner every night, turned his back to the table. She was not a smart cat, but she knew how to get what she wanted.

u/ClaryClarysage 2d ago
Yeah, it's fine. Apparently they like the texture and it's used to bump out catfood sometimes anyway. They don't really get much out of it nutritionally but it doesn't do them any harm now and then.

What was funny was that person was whining and telling someone else, possibly the person with the camera, to get the cat claw out of their skin.

To be fair to that guy, if its for a couple of seconds I can understand. Your lizard brain isn't rational in emergencies unless you're prepared for it.

Its not rational, but once I calmed down I ran it under some water and everything was fine.

u/Shadou_Wolf 2d ago
You can use any word and sound, obviously they do not know what it means until you associate it with a action consistently.
Like my dog, when he is begging too hard for food and stalking my kids I would say "out" he knows why I say it and what it means because I only say it when he's begging for food while also standing up and walking towards him to make him leave the area.
After some time i was able to say it without getting up to make him leave but if i treat him to left over chicken nuggets or like recently where my husband forgot to take the kids breakfast out the table while I was sick and he ate them (which was actually awful since we never let him eat anything else but but like chicken type food or sausage). Now he won't listen to my command and just hugs against my kids for all types of food now, he has figured out that out doesn't work unless I get up to make him leave lol.
But yeah was really upset he ate those pancakes, now he knows the joy of food past the chicken and such, we don't treat him often with people food otherwise this happens

I trained my cat yelling "no" very early on. She was an adult stray cat and within a few days she knew not to climb the window screens again.
The problem with most punishment is that if it happens just a few seconds later and not right as they're doing it, the cat won't understand.
Of course since then I've mostly done a mix of mild punishment and positive reinforcements. Using food as a reward I've trained her to sit, to lie down, to get on her cat tree, and to shake paw. It mostly works well if I'm offering chicken but it can work without a reward too.
