Expert Answer

Drinking after a cat may introduce bacteria and parasite eggs, since cats lick their fur, anus and urethra and roam the home, carrying microbes in the mouth.

They lap water with their tongue, leaving much saliva in it.

If your cup was drunk from by a cat, pour it out and replace with clean water.
