"I don’t lick their butts. I don’t lick their genitals. I don’t even lick the bottom of their paws because, gross, that’s litter box."

Confirming that she knew her cats were "gross", she insisted this did not put her off.

She said: "I know they’re gross. We’re all gross. Everything is bad for you. If I want to groom my cat, I’m going to groom my cat.

"I’m not going to stop licking the cats or eating the cat fur. I’m just not.”

Many fans were left 'disgusted' by the clip with one admitting that it left them "gagging," writing: “I love cats. But I’m sorry they groom themselves. Licking anything hairy has me gagging.”
