We all love our pets and share our food from time to time. Or maybe we share it daily.

But sharing your food with the same utensil you’re using? Ewww and unsanitary.

Let’s see what this girlfriend does in this reddit story when her BF is feeding his feline with his ice cream spoon.

AITA for telling my boyfriend that he can’t share ice-cream with his cat

I know this sounds sort of stupid, but it’s getting to me a little bit.

You won’t believe what one boyfriend does with his cat and his cutlery.

My boyfriend (i’ll call him J) has a cat named buck. i love buck, i think he’s adorable, and i have no issue with him.

However, J has a habit of sharing food with him. it’s not the sharing in itself that i find disgusting, i share food with my dog all the time, it’s the fact that J will let buck eat out of his bowl, off his plate, or off his spoon/fork, and then will continue using the bowl/plate/spoon/fork.

But what happens when “cat dad” behavior clashes with basic human hygiene?

I find that disgusting and unhygienic, to be honest, but i’ve never said anything because it’s his own food, J can decide what he does with it, although J does know that i think he’s a bit weird for it.

However, yesterday J and i were sharing a tub of ice-cream, like we usually do. buck was sniffing around it, and J went to go and give some to buck off of his spoon. i, rather sharply, said “if you let him lick that, it’s not going back in [the ice-cream tub]”.

She kept quiet for a while… but then came the ice cream incident.

I probably should’ve worded it better, even though i really didn’t want to share a tub of ice-cream with a spoon that has been licked by a cat that i’ve seen eat flies before.

One sentence, one look, and a whole lot of tension, what happened next might surprise you.

J didn’t say anything, but he did give me a look that clearly showed he was annoyed/judging me like i was the crazy one for thinking it’s unhygienic.

We haven’t talked about it since, but i can’t stop thinking that he’s mad at me.

AITA?

Now the silence is deafening and the internet has opinions. Let’s see what the commenters had to say about this ice cream trio.

Ultimate mic drop.

Cringe plus science from this person.

This redditor delivered a verdict without hesitation.

This person thinks his sweet gesture could turn sour fast.

Another commenter came in hot.

Sounds like most agree using the sharing ice cream with your kitty is okay, but yeah let’s use a different spoon.

Feed the kitty out of her bowl please!
