Even though the cat knows better than to get on the counter when I can see, this is why my cutting boards are in a place cat feet can not touch, and why I wash down my counter before using it for bread making. Love the cat, she is not trusted!
Exactly. Cutting boards should be stowed on edge if possible to minimize germs landing on them from whatever source, and any food prep surface should be cleaned before use. Even without a cat.
A couple of our cat’s favorite places can’t be reached without jumping from the counter so I take the responsibility for clean food prep and removing possible toxins instead of trying to keep her off it.
