LOL! Sounds great in theory but if I enforced that rule I'd probably starve to death!

I do, what's mine is theirs they know it too

This reminds me of my uncle who used to share his nightly ice cream while in bed with the cats. LOL

Summer hasn't tried to eat anything I was having that I can think of. Howver, I have experienced this with my parents dog mainly, and occasionally a at....if they touch it is theirs (if it's safe for them to eat).

Only Louie (one of the kittens) is ever interested in what I'm drinking. He love drinking ice cold water from my glass and I don't mind.

The others aren't that interested in people food, but I share with Fred all the time. He really likes Good Humor King Kones, so we have one at least once a week. If he looks like he is down or feeling creaky, (he's very old) I make a special trip to the store to get us one. I know it is not the best treat I could give him, but I love my Fredlump and makes him so happy.

I don't drink or eat after Lucas, but if I'm eating ice cream (which he loves) and he sneaks a lick in there, I will keep eating it, however I do my best to avoid letting him touch my food and drink!!

EEEewwww No way, if you could smell my flat after one of them has used the litter tray you'd understand !!

Phoebie's "smelly cat" song comes to mind ! and after stinking my flat out there's no way I'l drink after them !

I grossed my friends out one night when we were playing a poker game, and I had chips and dip out.. Bowser was sittign on my lap playing poker with me, and kept wanting to sample the chips.. So, I dipped one, and put it near his mouth. He licked all the dip off, then I ate the chip. hahahaa

ABSOLUTELY !!!!

i won't eat/drink after my cats, but then i barely do with humans either, even though i know that i kiss their noses all the time and stuff. (kinda like the people that will not eat in the bathroom at all but keep a toothbrush in their syndrome. )

No, i really dont like the thought of that!! Wouldnt eat something if they had licked it either - love my cats to bits, and one lives in my room, and when i first got her she wouldnt eat, so i had food on my bed as it was the only place she would eat, but that was stopped as soon as she was eating well, i hated it.

I am exactly the same way. I have hard time of drinking/eating after my bf of three years and my parents. I am a SKEEVER. But kissing them on the nose, no problem. I know it's weird.

I'll share food with my cat (which my bf thinks is absolutely disgusting as he won't even kiss a pet on the head =( ), kiss my kitty's nose, but if she tries to lick my lips.. no no no.

I'll never look at a slice of pizza the same way again.

I'm probably a terrible daddy, and will live to regret the way I spoil my babies, but.......

They sit on my lap at dinner time, with their little paws on the table, and I give them bites of my food with my fork. They think it's great fun, have excellent table manners, and I don't mind at all--I love them more than I do most people!

Well my cats are totally not interested in anything I have. They will only eat their dry cat food. No cans, no table scraps. Thier rule! LOL, although Sasha has been known to steal on occasion, she only does it under the cover of darkness when I forget to put something away.
But I'm not opposed to it. The other evening I was eating a salad, and the phone rang. I set it on the couch and got up to answer the phone, and my ill mannered little monster Shih Tzu (I love him to pieces), Little Man, jumped up on the couch and started licking the dressing off the salad. Ah, it's just dog slobber! I ate the salad, no problem.

I only drink after my kitties if I don't know they drank some! Watching them lick their bums then drink my water is a little too gross for me.

Yep - Scully is terrible for stealing a drink - I shoo him away but I don't bother getting another drink.

I also give them a lick of ice cream or yogurt and still use the spoon after them
