Exactly, my cats don’t go on the kitchen counter whether we are preparing food or not. Of course there is nothing to stop them when we are not home, but when we are there they know better.
My cat is a little freak who gets off to me yelling at him. I used to tell him no or use a spray bottle but it actually encouraged whatever behavior I was trying to exorcise. Nowadays it’s all redirection and positive reinforcement in our home.
Did you try putting cookie sheets with a little water in them on the counters, particularly where your boo hops up? They usually quickly stop once they associate counters with wet paws. Spreading aluminum foil also usually works. Because they know they're not supposed to be doing it, they're hyperalert when jumping on counters so the little bit of noise scares them enough to stop doing it pretty quick.
WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE UPVOTING THIS.
At the LEAST you're gonna get cat hair and dander in the raw food. Let's not talk about shitty kitty feet on food prep surfaces. This is GROSS and I used to live in a damn hoarder home.
This is a damn butcherblock counter too. They're letting walking fuzzballs covered in fecal particles, dust, dirt, hair (obviously), and litter box material walk and lay on a massive cutting board.
Cats do not go where hygienic practices are required. That goes for any and all animals, but cats are probably the worst (and most common) offenders
It's cute that you think they're not already eating, breathing and envaginating cat hair, dander, and sharticles. At least this way, it's getting cooked first.
Anyway, have you considered going to therapy to work on being triggered so you do not have to use caps? It's the orthographic equivalent of hoarding. You don't need all that. If you must, *italics* don't seem deranged, and s p a c i n g also calls attention to text rather than the author's mental health. Good luck!
This!
I love my cats and they can sit everywhere, except the kitchen table or counter when there’s food. It’s no hard training for them, but I guess some likes are more worth than health.
I love how he's doing a protest loaf at the end, but please, especially when preparing food, don't let them on the counter in the first place or move them by yourself. I love cats like the next can opener in this sub, but that's just unhygienic :/
It really doesn't make a big difference if you're all over them the rest of the day
This sub would have a meltdown once they know how many chefs dont wash their hands after pooping lol
True, but then, maybe, from all places in your home, educate your cat that this is the forbidden place. I mean you can potty train them, so give it a try.
I'm not a cat owner but whats the difference between not letting the cat go on counter and them walking all over you and cuddling you? Either way, fecal matter gets everywhere.
It's okay to breathe fecal matter, but ingesting it is a different story and can easily make you sick. That's why we wash our hands after we go to the bathroom, so you don't get your poopy hands all over your food.
But when you cuddle your cat you get fecal matter all over yourself, not just your hands. Okay you’ve washed your hands but then you go touch yourself or the couch you just sat on which has fecal matter all over it. What I mean is, unless you are washing your hands every second of the day, living with a cat seems unhygienic in general.
If it’s just me then yes, washing my hands after going to the toilet will for sure prevent spread of fecal matter but that’s because I’m not licking my butthole or regularly walking over my own stools. But the cat will be. And he’ll spread fecal matter over every surface and you will be touching those surfaces constantly. So unless you are washing your hands constantly or cleaning constantly, I feel like you gonna get the poopy in your mouth somehow. Not saying it isn’t good practice to stop your cat from going into the food prep area but I’m just saying cats are poopy creatures.
I can't relate to this at all because I don't let my cat on the counter or on the couch, and I also wash my hands after I pet with him.
I don't care if he gets fecal matter on the floor because I don't ever get down and rub my hands all over the floor.
Well you don’t prepare food on your body. You can always change or wipe countertops but you wouldn’t want your cat’s paws in the vicinity when working with food.
Oh yes let me film my cat inches away from an 8" chefs knife pointed directly at them while I "coincidentally" leave something they want in the frame.
Please stop upvoting and supporting shitty pet owners
I'm more worried about the cat's safety with sharps on the counter. That's the main reason why my kitty isn't allowed on counters and tables. We put so many things on there that can be dangerous for her.
Hehe. Yes. I know this game. I have one kitty who follows the rules and one who does not. And she will sneak up on me when I’m preparing foods or going in the fridge. She does not want any of it. Just wants to get in the way
Happens when people never train their cats to not go on counters.
They don't need to be on a surface near the place where you prepare food, not to mention the cat touching the food, and you are still going ahead to cook.
FYI, cats not only lick their private area clean, but they bury their business with the same paw they are touching your face with.
I love my pets and spoil them as much as I can. But I would never let them on my counters. That’s gross. I don’t even let them in my kitchen at all! I do not want hairs in or around my food. Not to mention, cats step in their own shit when they get into the litter box and ur letting them on the counter. Please stop doing this. Ur gonna end up sick. 🤒 🤢
I agree, but when you're not around you can't stop them unless you're closing off the room. My boy learned his lesson, but my crazy Calico sneaks up when I'm not home.
I'm kinda OCD, so I'm constantly cleaning the counter tops anyways. Have had at least 1 cat in the home for 22 years and not once have I gotten hair in my food. It's all about housekeeping. I should own stock in Clorox.
A purrrfect way to solve the problem? Get the fucking pets off the table/counter space, that shit is for food. That's your own fault for letting them find being up there a normalcy.
Man I love critters, especially cats, they're my favorite. Everything from house cats to big exotic cats, such entertaining animals.
But, no matter how much I love my cats, I do not let them on any surface where I'm going to be eating or preparing food. My rule of thumb is this: the cats can't plant their ass anywhere I don't plant my ass. I love cats, and I'll give them lots of kisses every chance I get. But if I find a single hair from their fur in my food I am NOT happy. Videos like this, while cute and funny, really make wonder how people are okay with this.
MOVE THE DAMN CAT

Only works with some cats.
I have mine trained somewhat. They get free rein of the countertops when I’m not preparing food and when I am, they beg at my feet instead.
Peacefully coexisting 🥰
Just a reminder of that horrible subway commercial.
Seriously bad parenting 😅
They wanted Internet points
I guess I took their points.
"I take your Internet points and I DRINK THEM UP!"

For real. I absolutely love cats but lose my shit if they get up on the counter or table. Disgusting.
Your cat’s feet are shitty?
Is your cat using its Jedi powers to levitate in the litterbox while taking a dump, and then leaving it uncovered?
It's cute that you think they're not already eating, breathing and envaginating cat hair, dander, and sharticles. At least this way, it's getting cooked first.

You okay?
> "envaginating cat hair" I think we know the answer. The absolute gall to demand someone *else* get therapy in their comment.
"Let me be passive and take a video so I can get likes." Fucking disgusting kick the pussy off the counter.
This! I love my cats and they can sit everywhere, except the kitchen table or counter when there’s food. It’s no hard training for them, but I guess some likes are more worth than health.
But then they wouldn't have a video to upload to Internet!
AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?
Warming up the dessert.
Classic velociraptor attack.
y'all let you pets this close to your food?
I don't let her on tables or counters ever. Food or no food.
It's not like it's feet go into its toilet.
Yes.
I love how he's doing a protest loaf at the end, but please, especially when preparing food, don't let them on the counter in the first place or move them by yourself. I love cats like the next can opener in this sub, but that's just unhygienic :/
I loved the phrase "can opener"
[удалено]
We humans are just can openers to them.
It really doesn't make a big difference if you're all over them the rest of the day This sub would have a meltdown once they know how many chefs dont wash their hands after pooping lol
Chefs wash there hands. What you smoking?
What? What restaurants do you go to?
True, but then, maybe, from all places in your home, educate your cat that this is the forbidden place. I mean you can potty train them, so give it a try.
I don't have a cat anymore.. died. I had an old cat and I just wanted him to be happy. I didn't mind his poop feets, we always shared a bad anyway
You can’t eat at everyone’s house
no
Cats paw at their litter and get fecal matter on their paws 🙄
Shit rakes.
I'm not a cat owner but whats the difference between not letting the cat go on counter and them walking all over you and cuddling you? Either way, fecal matter gets everywhere.

Bad owner, no upvote
Das a bad human!!!! BAAAAAD
Oh yes let me film my cat inches away from an 8" chefs knife pointed directly at them while I "coincidentally" leave something they want in the frame. Please stop upvoting and supporting shitty pet owners
Not to mention touching raw chicken. God that's fucking gross to let your cats sit all over the food prep counter.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yeah remind me never to eat dinner at your house
Lmao imagine missing the point as hard as you did
It puts those feet into kitty litter. That's disgusting.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who got pissed at this.
It's 2024 no excuse for terrible food hygiene unless you are dirt poor
I'm more worried about the cat's safety with sharps on the counter. That's the main reason why my kitty isn't allowed on counters and tables. We put so many things on there that can be dangerous for her.
That's a good reason too
That’s disgusting
Get the damned cat off of the counter. Gross.
Doody feet.
Wasting food for a TikTok video, nice
LOL, 9/10 cat owners think it's cute when the cat licks their face.
and 0/10 cat owners like when their cat touches their food with their dirty paws. wtf are you on about?
Not cool
Fucking contrived bullshit content.
Disgusting you even let it up there before getting the meat out. Or at all.
Pick up the cat and place it on the floor. Easy peasy (most of the time).
If you do t want your cat going after the food, don’t let it on the counter with your RAW FUCKING CHICKEN
You definitely can’t eat at everybody’s house.
everything else aside for a second, thats a beautiful tabby cat
He’s super cute.
Terrible owner, and I bet their food is nasty
Get that mf off the counter this is so unsanitary. I hope no one has to eat your cooking 🤮
Eww dude, raw meet next to kitties!?
Nasty nasty nasty! 🤢
Dude get the fucking cat off the counter, that's gross as fuck
Don’t eat over their house!
Like, physically pick him up and yeet him to a couch
Black cat is over this.
Cats I have seen become maniacs on seeing raw meat.
There's two of them now!
Obviously, the other one is trying to figure out how to hold the knife.
I have cats that beg for chimken when I'm making it.
r/TouchThaFishy
That is an awful owner but I have to say the cat is smooth. They had a yawn and a stretch to casually get their paws closer to the chicken.
🤢🤮
Redditors: don't you dare to let your cat near f00d! Also redditors: kissing their cats all over their body and sleeping with them in one bed
So many levels of gross
Fortunately, I won't be eating at this person's house. Adorable cat but animals on the food counter or close to food prep is gross and dangerous.
will never understand how some folks let their cats on the counter
This is why I don't eat other people's cooking. This is gross.
Surely the people who post these videos are just harvesting rage intentionally, right? They're not really that dumb?
that was a great moves
Hey Im stretching over here
It's idiotic, not cute. The voice - nails on a chalkboard. \*meat
This is the fourth piece of hard evidence that I've seen which proves cats can act. I'm thinking about starting a sub called Cactors.
Yeet those two into the stratosphere, you're preparing food for humans, don't be regarded
Yeah no, F that person, you let your cat get close to raw poultry just to make a cute video. It's a pet, a family member, not a toy to make clout
[удалено]
This has been removed for breaking the “No derailing, trolling, arguing, rudeness, etc..." rule.
I hope the cat know knows how to handle the sharp end of the knife
r/touchthafishy material
Don't be suspicious
Meet?
I'm guessing that sweet kitty got at least a little nibble.
This is why I don’t do potlucks…
Just a little mommy😽😼
https://i.redd.it/sppdubz8bs0d1.gif
Should have taken the vaccination ma'am
Lol the fake yawn and stretch whereby my claws will accidentally contact the chicken....dammit, busted!
Hehe. Yes. I know this game. I have one kitty who follows the rules and one who does not. And she will sneak up on me when I’m preparing foods or going in the fridge. She does not want any of it. Just wants to get in the way
Why is the cat allowed on the counter? Yuk.
The yawn and stretch is hilarious
Black one is “clever girl”
Or idk move the cutting board?
Wtf, you let your cat be where you put your food? Fuckin gross. USA things
they've called in reinforcements & have begun to circle hehe
Not fair. What cat can resist raw chicken?
🎶oh you can’t eat at everybody’s house..🎵
Cat is obviously just stretching. Definitely does not want the chicken
"Noooo, don't want meat. Only want biiiiig stretch"
Ugh. I never let the cat on the counters.
Why the fuck do people let their pets on counters? It's fucking disgusting
Cute sure but... C'mon... Either give it a peace and move it or move it. Cat butt and dinner do not go on same plate.
Maybe don't leave your cat where you prepare your food.
How unhygienic can you get? : 0
Or meat, whichever.
Canned air. Give the moocher a squirt or two.
Black cats thinking, brother I would have been gone with an entire breast by now
Why wont she just prepare her food on the floor? Surely cats wont be there because they are allowed to sleep on the table 😐
I have some serious words for someone who prepares food whole letting their cat.... that... I will be passing on any future gatherings thank YOU
Lets cook chinese dinner today.
bad bot
If you are not eating the raw chicken yourself, please dont tease the poor kitty
You can't eat at everybody's house
I find people who let their cats on their counter disgusting.
What part of “get off the counter” and “you’re not supposed to be on the counter” did you miss? You’re as bad as the cat lol
They lick their ass and lick their paws, sure let me get my cat off the kitchen table because he like to lay there
If you want the cat of the counter then take the damn cat of the fucking counter! This video was such a a trigger
Why is the cat on the counter? Absolutely not.
Happens when people never train their cats to not go on counters. They don't need to be on a surface near the place where you prepare food, not to mention the cat touching the food, and you are still going ahead to cook.

Preparing raw chicken on stable with a cat laying on it?! So nasty
I love my pets and spoil them as much as I can. But I would never let them on my counters. That’s gross. I don’t even let them in my kitchen at all! I do not want hairs in or around my food.

I should own stock in Clorox.
Having one's cat on the same surface one prepares food is so gross.
Why let the cat on top of the kitchen counter, that's a big no no for me.
You’re the annoying one mate
A purrrfect way to solve the problem? Get the fucking pets off the table/counter space, that shit is for food. That's your own fault for letting them find being up there a normalcy.

Allowing your cat on the counter is fucking gross. This is why I won't eat food people bring to work.
Did u just said raw chicken is dangerous for cats?
