You haven't met my cat... and you know what they use their tongue to clean?

LOL, that's an old wives tale. Cat saliva, like most animal saliva, has some cleansing properties and antibacterial agents, but the mouth is also a breeding ground for all sorts of bacteria, some beneficial and others not so much. Some cat bites, like any animal bite, can become very infected, such as with the bacterium pasteurella.

And let's not forget that cats clean their anuses and other parts of anatomy, by licking them. They may also have other infections agents besides bacteria, such as worms, virii, etc. Probably no harm will come to you from drinking the milk. After all, YOU have antimicrobial agents in your saliva as well, but no, I don't think I'd go around drinking after a cat, no matter how clean they appear to be.

Well technically it's true... it's just that ppl tend to exaggerate the effects (i remember when i was little how lasers where supposed to cut through anything...)

It is true that cat's do not have as clean as in 'myths' but they are still cleaner then humans. So better never kiss anybody or drink after them in any situation. Yes they use the tongue to bathe themelves, and I would never eat after them, a few swipes of the tongue on a drink will not harm anything.

I was just thinking that. I just haven't really been feeling it lately. I'm sure that will change once school resumes on Monday.

I wouldn't feel too bad. I imagine a lot of members are trudging through finals and just haven't been able to get online that much.

My thoughts as well, people should be back soon enough.
I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

Text books are such a pain. Nothing like shelling out $173 for one book for a 2 hour seminar that doesn't have a final.
