Question about pets and hygine. [View All]

[japple]

There was a recent thread in the lounge about dogs who eat catbox crunchies. Our dog doesn't, but only because she doesn't have access to the litter boxes. This thread got me wondering about kissing my animals. I've always kissed them on their noses or other places on their faces, and I'm sure I don't always wash my hands every time I pet the cats and then prepare food, although I try to remember to. Do you kiss your animals, and are you religious about hand washing, wearing aprons, or coverups? I guess I'm fortunate that my family all have and love animals, so if a cat hair were to pop up in the tacos, they wouldn't get too disturbed.
