For the same reason not to share a toothbrush... one may have a
communicable disease, can even catch the other's cold.

I'd be more concerned about your ferret catching some disease from
you.

I agree, Janet. As I stated in a different post, she should be more
afraid of MY germs. I'm the one that goes outside and can bring them
back inside.

Note: unlike cats and dogs, ferrets are susceptible to cold and flu
germs just like humans.

I used to love the buffet restaurants.
I never did make it to the dessert bars though.

Even in regular restaurants though, I never cared for dessert.
As Ed, I think, said....I prefer a dessert later on long after
eating a good meal.

That's quite an exaggeration. Cat's can carry diseases etc. of course.
But to say they're as filthy as dogs is just plain wrong.

Sometime let your dog lick your face, then try rubbing used toilet

I've never considered any of my previous cats filthy,
but I don't kiss them in the mouth and they don't
return the favor. Do they lick their butts? Certainly.

Cats rarely eat old carrion or swim in /drink dirty water or lick the
backside of stranger cats; dogs do all of those, which considerably
extends the range of infections they could pass on.

Cats' tongues are rough. Few people would tolerate a cat licking
their face the way they let their dogs do :-(

Actually not, dogs eat their own poop, they even eat each other's
poop... cats ALWAYS bury their poop.

Agreed. Cats are far cleaner than dogs, thats how cats survive. Dogs
have no survival skills, none. A six month old kitten dumped off at
the side of the road here will easily survive in the woods, no dog of
any age will last one night here. Actually a two month old kitten
will survive because they are born with survival DNA, they already
know to hunt food and know to avoid preditors. There are many feral
cats here, not one feral dog.

My cats occasionally groom each other but they very rarely lick me.

That would account for wild/feral dogs then.

Can you blame them? They don't know where you've been.

Lucy gets carried away when she starts licking my hand or arm, so much
so I usually have to make her stop.

If it is something like custard or ice cream, it is just easier than
passing a spoon back and forth. After being together 49 years it is
certainly not because of a couple of germs.

That wouldn't work here. Once you get out, you are presented with a bill.

I'm just not a dessert person. I do remember ordering two of them at a
really nice Italian place in PA just because I wanted to see them. They
were indeed masterpieces but they predated the cell phone with its camera.
So I have no pics. There were four of us dining there and we did all take
little bites. Both had ice cream and some pastries and sauces. Everything
that place served was wonderful. SIL and I both wanted to see them, based
on the description on the menu but we weren't fixing to eat them. It was
well worth it just to see them as we finished our after dinner coffee.

Other than that, I used to get a piece of pie once in a while if it came
with my meal or if my meal didn't provide enough carbs for me. Used to be a
place in CA that did not have enough carbs so I did get the apple pie and
Angela and I split a slice but never finished it. I just don't love
desserts.

Why does sharing dessert have to mean you're eating with more than one
other person?

We rarely eat dessert at home, so I like to share dessert after a nice
meal out, panna cotta, affogato, crème brulee, that sort of thing.

Sharing food has some social and cultural significance. Americans are used to having their individual plate of food but for the rest of the world that's not the norm. When I eat with the family in restaurants, we're always eating off of each other's plates. Sharing a dessert with my son's girlfriend or daughter's boyfriend is not just sampling a sweet morsel, it means acceptance into the family - at least tentatively. It's a small step but certainly not trivial.

We do like sweet things, but not with a meal and not very often either.
Very occasionally we will have one and enjoy it but then don't want any more
for a long time.

I suppose it is lucky we both have similar tastes

Oh My!! Thanks! Well it sounds fair, at least the tax payer isn't having

I just Googled and saw it!! HUH here, the prisoners get paid!

It would seem kind of strange to pass the utensil back and forth.

Or fight over it. Heh. It's my turn! You're hogging it!

I don't know about everyone, but I know that when I go out with
friends, if we talk about dessert, we either all order one or we
agree to split one. If no one else is getting dessert, I'm sure
not. But if there's a situation where one person didn't get any,
and there's an extra spoon brought, I don't begrudge sharing.

If the original letter writer finds themselves having this problem
all the time, to the point where they write a letter about it,
they should say If you want dessert, order yourself one, I'm not
sharing mine, then they can can sit there and eat the whole thing
while everyone else watches. I mean, chats away.

The OP was in the plural. It didn't say the servers brought one extra
spoon and they writer not everyone at the table ordering dessert. That
implied she was referring to more than one.

My cats (past and present) don't lick my mouth. Also, I never had to
give either of my cats a bath on a regular basis. Dogs, OTOH...

Indeed. My cats are probably cleaner than I am at times

Winnie (my dog) thankfully doesnt roll in poo or rotting carcases, but
she does like to dig into her little nest under the house and get
covered in dirt. Also, my cats don't eat the horrible stuff Winnie
eats...
