Yes. Anya always sticks her nose and tongue in my glasses or milk and cereal bowls if I leave them lying around. It's unavoidable.

Would you eat after your cat?

A little kitty slobber doesn't bother me!
When I first adopted Katie more than 13 years ago, I would thought it was gross. Now, it's just part of life with cats!
I don't generally make a habit of sharing my food with Spike and Oz -- although if it falls on the floor and isn't bad for them, it's theirs -- but on the few occasions when they do manage to stick a paw or a nose in my food, it doesn't really bother me. They're healthy, I'm healthy, what's the harm? *shrug*
You described my daily life. Yes, I just keep on eating

Cats tongues contain bacterias that are foreign to our mouths and their systems can combat those bacterias better than ours can, so I wouldn't eat from the same bowl.
Oh Lord, yes. Just think. You'd have more of a chance of "getting something" from kissing your boyfriend, husband, child, mother, aunt, sister, brother, etc. Yes, cats have different bacteria, but our systems usually are not affected by them.
Yes I would...um even though Trout licks her own butt...On second thought...hmmm, I'll have to think this through..
I dont let it bother me. Now if DH saw her he would probably make me throw out the food...hes a weirdo. I also agree though, if Ceci had just finished up a can of food and her face smelled funky I probably would throw it out.
Ashten tries to eat my ice cream all the time. Sometimes he sneaks a lick in. I don't waste a whole bowl of ice cream because of one lick! Just like others have mentioned, I've probably already ingested a cat hair or two!
Until I realized that 8-Bit could gain entry into the refrigerator with out my knowledge, I would have said no, but then I realized that I was most likely eating things that he had already sampled I gave up and moved on with my life.
Muddy always gets first licks on my ice cream. Scarlett will eat treats from between my lips. Cat germs rule!!
Jacob loves to sneak drinks out of my water glass and no ice cream cone is considered "safe" until Mr Jacob taste-tests it first (his rule, not mine).
No question about it their fur is everywhere anyway and Brew constantly wants to give me kisses anyway.

No way, no how, NO NO NO. I won't eat anything another human has licked, either. My husband laughs 'cause I'll kiss him all night long and then shudder, completely grossed out, if I mistakenly drink out of his water glass.

Yes,I love everything about my babies
But if they'd just been in the litter or slurping their butts then No I'm afraid not

My girlies share with me all the time. I keep my own water glasses all about for them to drink, Sierra loves bread, Serenity likes green beans, and they both enjoy baby lima beans and blackeyed peas. I don't give it a second thought, in fact, there's noone I'd more enjoy sharing with!
I shared a spoon of vanilla ice cream with Rosie on monday evening, so yes no problem

Jeesh, when I had my full quota of cats if I refused to eat every time a paw/tongue/whisker/tail got in something I'd be a lot skinnier! (Hmmm, now there's a diet tip!)
All the time. Bit different with the doggers - their tongues are A LOT bigger. Although I kiss them on their noses all the time and let them lick my face, so I guess I'd still eat something they licked...or maybe not....
