I wash my hands before I'm about to put my hands in my eyes, mouth, nose, or ear or if I'm about to pop a pimple or something like that. Otherwise it doesn't really matter because I'll probably end up petting the cat not too long after. I'm usually conscious of when I need to wash my hands so it's not a big deal.
Sometimes I have been lazy and neglected to wash my hands before eating (would never be lazy and not do this if I were cooking btw) and I have been fine.
I don't get sick very often so I trust that my immune system is strong enough to deal with it every once and while.
Do you wash your hands every time you touch/pet your pet ?
