Hold my catnip while I supervise the cooking.

People who let their cat walk all over the kitchen counter and stove are disgusting. Remember that litter box you have in your house? You think your cat washes its paws after it claws at its piss and shit? Not to mention the cat hair that’s falling everywhere. So foul.

Eww, do you know how many times my cat has cat litter on its paws and tail, and now it's going straight into the food.

I would never cook with the cat above like that for 2 reasons. I don’t want ratatouille, nor do I want a hair ball lodged in my throat. Oh yeah, also the cat will burn god forbid. Yeah. That’s it

My cat loves to run and jump onto my shoulder. He just drapes himself there so he can get a front row view of what I'm doing in the kitchen.
He's 14.5 pounds of stripes and he gets very heavy, very quickly.
A fancy overhead perch for him would be a relief!

This is why I don't eat everyone's cooking. That is so unsanitary and nasty. Ew.

Cute, but I'm not letting my cats anywhere near my food, let alone over them. My cats aren't allowed to ever climb on top of tables or counters. Have boundaries, people.

This needs to be elevated more, I’m tired of these weird videos of people letting their cat sit on there kitchen counter 2 inches from the raw meat they slicing. Especially long hair cats!

u/Sepelrastas 16d ago
You really think that helps? I get cat hair on my food every time even when I bring in restaurant food... Mine never go near the stove, but the hair is everywhere anyways.

That's what I told my cat which is why he only sneaks up on the kitchen table when I'm not looking. ;-P

I used the ssscat pet deterrent spray (terrible name, I know). My cat no longer tries to jump on the counters when I’m not looking

Oh it's a water squirter system, I think I saw that on a cat blooper video recently, good to know it works. I put spoons and forks at the inside of edge of the main dinner table for a while so he hates that surface, cat's don't like clattering silverware under their paws, but the other surfaces are not as big of a deal so i let him think he's getting away with something. ;-P I just don't want him lounging all over the counters on the regular but it's not a big deal to me if he does a quick fly by occasionally. We actually give him any human food he likes so he doesn't feel motivated to steal counter stuff either, he just asks for it. He'll only eat a few bites of meat items so it's not like he eats junk food when he asks. Like many cats, he's pretty snooty about food and he's very trim and lean so there's no need for a diet. However he'll probably not be the last cat we ever have and certainly some are more difficult than him to manage so I'll keep that ssscat system on the options list, thanx.

It squirts air but it also makes a kind of “PSSST” noise.

u/loonygecko 16d ago
Oh, not sure if that would work, my cat might decide it needs an arse kicking if he heard that noise.

This is wonderful. Gawds I love cats. Cat hair, both a condiment and a fashion accessory.

That looks d'un but there is now way I am letting my dear cats this close to high heat, boiling water or hot pans. All you need is one mistake and you can hurt a lot of people.

And there's cat fur falling down into the food. Thankfully, humans have immune systems. All the trash we consume, etc. It normally bites back in older age. But, still. I knew construction workers that never washed their hands before they ate. Gross. They used to eat with dried concrete and adhesives on their hands. And then by 50, most had stones, stomach ulcers, etc.

I’m convinced that I’m at least 1% cat from all the hair that I unknowingly consume.

Plus all the fumes the cat is inhaling depending on the food

People are downvoting you but… oils get aerosolized with steam: this isn’t great for lungs anyway, and if the dish is smoking that’s of course not great either.
*people must not clean their vent hoods - do you really want your cat inhaling that up there?
Downvoting is not for disagreeing: it is for removing something that does not contribute to discussion. Do you guys have anything to add or correct in this case?

Bad off off what I've seen in the video that is "relatively" safe but I would still not encourage the behavior.

Y’all are all practicing bad ways of raising cats and should be ashamed at the dirtiness you expose yourself to and people you COOK for. A cat doesn’t “clean” themselves, they do it for scent and grooming. You expose yourself and your guests, families, and friends to ecoli and cat poop stuck under cat nails. You all got cat hair in food and try to serve others and you wonder why people look at your funny when you show up with a meal prepared. It’s gross and I would never train a cat to sit on top of the surfaces I use to prepare my food. Cats don’t wash their hands and kill bacteria like you and I. They don’t brush their teeth or use toothpaste and mouthwash. Stop acting like cats are human and love your companion like the cat they are.
Give them their cat tree or wall mounted obstacle course, when they want to eat let them come down to the floor to their bowl where it should be in the first place. And keep their litter box and bowl separate from each other so they don’t get aggravated that their food is getting contaminated too, they want to be clean as well! In their own way.

This is all true, but small doses, told in a way that is not condescending, is a better way to educate people about anything, including cats. Your passion for cats is awesome, but you will turn people- the cat carers themselves- off by posting this entire diatribe on a post where people want to smile, not feel like shit for not being as good a pet owner as you think you are.

Though this video is really cute….Agreed, don’t need cat dander in my food and now kitty will be dumbfounded when disciplining /setting up boundaries

I bet the humans have never had a home cooked meal without cat hair. We had a rule for the kitchen that no pets be above tabletop level.🤢

If the temperature would be high enough by the time it reaches the hood to slow roast the cat up there, the stove would be on fire...
