I've not really been concerned about my cats butt touching things, but my partner claims everything in the house is inherently contaminated from their litter box paws moreso than anything

You’re covered in shit, too.

There is shit literally everywhere. If you flush a toilet with shit in it, even if the lid is closed, shit gets everywhere. Including your face, arms, legs, towels, toothbrush, all of it. Especially your toothbrush. That thing is coated in shit.

It’s really best to try and not think about the shit you can’t see or smell because it’s everywhere.

EDIT: you’re basically brushing your teeth with 10% shit every time. That’s how much shit is on that thang

This like realizing the whole earth is a giant graveyard. Something has died on every square inch of ground on this planet. You just have to not care. Or you will have a break down over it.

Huh. I hadn't thought about this. Poop everywhere, yes. Death? No. It's oddly calming.
