3 Second Rule?

I decided to have breakfast for dinner tonight. Grits, eggs, bacon, and biscuits topped with honey. Angelbaby keeps one of my barstools in the kitchen so she can reach the upper cabinets. I put 4 slices of bacon for us in a pan on the stove. I thought nothing of the barstool in front of the stove as I turned to put the rest of the bacon away. When I turned back around, my cat was sitting on the very edge of the stool with his neck stretched as far as it could go-licking the bacon in the pan. Of course I cooked it. There is no way he licked it for more than 3 seconds.
