You've suspected it all along, but isn't it nice to know?

AP | Girl: Cat Saliva Cleaner Than Dog Drool
BELCOURT, N.D. - A young scientist says cat drool appears to be cleaner than that of dogs. Lacey Lafromboise, a fifth-grader at Turtle Mountain Elementary School in Belcourt, earned a trip to the Native American Science Fair in Albuquerque, N.M. by proving that her two dogs have more bacteria in their mouths than her two cats.

Lacey said she got the idea for the study while one of her dogs was licking her face.
Duh.
... Her mom, Sandy Lafromboise, got permission from a science professor to use an incubator and a microscope at Minot State University.

... Lacey said she's also practicing questions that judges may ask her.
I think if she phrases her report just right, no judge will dare ask for more information, for fear she might have some.
