Fun fact: we know that the keeping of domesticated cats spread to England at least by the time of the Roman occupation, because we found a 2000 yr old roof tile there with a cat's pawprint in it. It's funny to imagine a clayworker 2000 yrs ago yelling at the cat to stay off his tiles lol.

Hopefully this person has a cat.

Unless that cat is trained to use a toilet, that dough now has fresh cat shit and piss in on it, along with everything else the cat has walked on recently.

I wish this upset me more than it does but my cat literally wakes me up by shoving her paw in my mouth every morning and while it is disgusting and I know it is disgusting, there's not that much I can do about it so I just live.

Doesn't mean I'd feed someone else cat shit pie though.

Bonus disgusting fun fact, I had an old cat piss on a cake and I fully ate some of it before I realized. I'm full of toxoplasmosis.

Only if your cat goes outside.

To be fair to the cats, similar logic probably applies to more human food service workers than we'd care to admit.

Toxoplasmosis wouldn't survive the baking process

I think you’re correct. Still, I’d cut it out just call it my new steam vent

as if anyone living with a cat isn't infected anyways

I just know there are people who would "five seconds rule" this and still use it but omg the scat paddlers I just can't

OK, do you have any clues who it might have been?

Plot twist, he/she didn’t have a cat.

The home grown San Marzanos were left in a single layer on the kitchen table (because that's how my aunt does it I don't know but it's pretty and whatever)
