There's more germs in a humans mouth than a cats, so the cat should worry if you licked the meat and then offered it to him!!!!

Huh?? How many times a day do YOU clean your undercarriage with your tongue?

[ yes yes, I know, if we could we would etc etc ]

I'd trim it off and eat it. When I was a kid I'd eat all sorts of things I found in the garden and I'm still here to tell the tale.

My mom once cooked a turkey for Xmas and left it on the side. The dog (not sure which one, but I have my suspicions...) got hold of it and chewed a bit of it. 11:30AM on Xmas day, you aren't going to be able to get a turkey and cook it in time for lunch, so mom cut off the gnawed bit and served it up. Nobody was any the wiser until about ten years later when she told us. Nobody got ill at all, apart from indigestion from too much food.

She once had a fly land on a joint of beef and threw all of it out, though. Make of that what you will.

It is possible to do that. Google autofellatio.

My cat licked my yogurt. I ate it and am still here to tell the tale!

I would definitely eat the lamb!

To be honest, if you worm your cat properly and make sure they are healthy. They probably have:

a) less bacteria than somebody who hasn't washed their hands and then touched your food;
b) less bacteria than somebody who has touched something in the supremarket such as fruit and veg and not washed their hands;
c) less a problem than people who like processed foods with no rel food products in them at all but are mostly chemicals.

So what? Unless you have special conditions such as undergoing chemo or an auto-immune disorder then why would it be worse than somebody sneezing over your food?

Oh for goodness sake. It is TOTALLY FINE to eat it.

Those shop door handles and bus seats that you touch every day contain far, far more and worse germs - and I bet you don't make certain you wash your hands after THOSE before eating or touching your face.

similar happened to me - Had both sets of parents round to Sunday roast, and was cutting the cauliflower when a huge chunky caterpillar crawled out (leaving a load of slimey gunk which i assumed were eggs?) do I chuck the cauli (all 50p of it) or wash it. Just washed it and didnt tell anyone, they are still live and kicking. Except me actually who has a horrible cold cough and headache..........
