I don't think it's germophobic to want the cat, who stands in his litter box (which gets scooped every day and replaced twice a week) fulla pee clumps and turds, to stay off the counters and especially food.

I accept my dogs and cats - any pets - are going to be expanding my exposure, shit I give them raspberries and kisses... but not the cat's toes lol.

I agree with you. I do however think that it's germaphobic to allow that to cause you not to get a cat despite proclaiming to want one, like the commenter I was replying to.

I'm really more of a dog guy. I just see a lot of germaphobia surrounding pets these days, and I find it strange

Today I caught my dog merrily eating and rolling in a pile of shit. He was shocked (shocked I say!) when this action earned him a bath. Our sweet little gremlins are gross af.
