Agreed.

Jester sits in his cage beside the table at dinnertime, and he
gets food from our plates placed into his treat bowl.

He ***loves*** spaghetti noodles, which he holds in his claw as
he eats them.

But we don't give him food from our mouths. The risk of giving
him an expensive or fatal illness is simply not worth it.
