- kevin_thibedeau 6mo agoIf you covered yourself in spit would that be sanitary?
- jjtheblunt 6mo agoyou just made me wonder if the fact we sweat serves a similar purpose as your spit covering example. (i don't know, but you triggered a thought!)
- imp0cat 6mo agoNope, it's evaporative cooling (like a swamp cooler) for your body.

- delusional 6mo agoI suppose they're unsanitary in the same way all animals that aren't humans are: They don't was their hands? Cats don't strike me a particularly dirty creatures. They're not exactly clean and well groomed from nature, but no animal really is.
