Would pork sampled by a cat be halal?
I've found two sources on the internet saying since cats extremely respected in Islam that food sampled by them is halal. I can't find anything more specific than that though. Is all food sampled by a cat considered halal, including pork? Only food from animals that are considered clean but were not slaughtered or processed properly? What are the specifics on this rule?

That's an interesting loophole if true,
Imagine what a business you could do selling pork ribs, bacon sandwiches and shrimp cocktails , sampled by a cat first.
You're going to be a millionaire.
But no, I think the reference is to food a cat had touched, it isn't made haraam because a cat touched it. That just means they might be more likely to catch Toxoplasma or similar illnesses because they don't believe a cat in the kitchen transmits disease. I guess I'm not eating at muslim restaurants anymore.
