Eating with your animal

It doesn't bother me at all. As a child I once shared and ice cream cone with my cat. As long as the ice cream wasn't chocolate, we'd give the bowls to our cats to finish when we were done. Any left over bits of meat went to the cats, tuna water, and sometimes a piece of meat just as a treat. One of my cats (we were connected at the hip) would sit on my lap almost every night at the dinner table. My grandfather hated it so whenever my grandparents were over I would shoo the cat away.
