A lot of cats actually have a parasitic worm in their digestive system that in humans inhabits the brain and is incurable. This causes depression and decreased reaction time. However since this parasitic worm if it was in your cat (and there is a good chance) is now in your brain as well now I guess the reason not to do it is kind of moot. However there are a few other parasites you might catch since cats eat rodents if they find them.
I actually love cats and own one. It only takes a reasonable amount of hygiene to avoid the parasite that should be second nature to a civilized person. You know wash your hands before eating, don't let animals eat from your food and keep them from children too young to know better.
However on the positive side of things the poster here has in a way acquired a second pet. Of course that pet is parasitic worm that is consuming her brain and will for the duration of her life.
IIN to share my food with my cat, as in letting her eat off my plate?

In the meantime enjoy your Toxoplasma gondii.
