I say this with absolute kindness - I understand your worry for Melbcat, but if feeding the magpies is bringing you a little bit of joy, I don't think you should let your fear get in the way. I'm sure you're incredibly diligent with giving her treats and wouldn't give her one from the floor if you thought someone might have tracked something inside.

Agree that carpet is gross!

I did give her some on the floor yesterday because she wouldn’t come get on the bed… slack. Luckily she didn’t eat them.

I like feeding the maggies but hope I’m not giving them too much or attracting disease.

Carpet is so gross especially when she keeps throwing up… and also it collects dust. I kind of wish I had a hard floor to sweep and mop clean with machine washable rag rugs (though those might be a trip hazard)
