1. That's why you need a dog

to help clean up

[talkingmime]

11. That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!

[fizzgig]

2. still beats stepping in that cold pile in the middle of the night

[susanr516]

16. Yep.

Nothing like stepping on a slimy hairball in the dead of night.

Almost makes me myself. Yuck!

3. what no pictures ?

cleaning pet puke is a thankless job our Jack Daniels terrier ate at bag of chocolate chips once and covered most of the furniture .

6. You want pictures of that?

That's just gross!

4. All in a day's work

When you're a kitteh, throwing up on things is a serious responsibility.

5. I had a similar problem earlier this week.

AC ate a lizard and puked on a chair that I keep in my bedroom. Fortunately, the chair is actually intended to be used outdoors so I sprayed it down and let the chair dry out for a day. At least she didn't puke on the good furniture.

7. Mine's short-haired

and was starving when I found her at about 5 months. She was eating bugs, mice, lizards and birds to survive, and probably wouldn't have survived the winter when I started caring for her. Now she's a big, fat, lazy house cat.

I've heard her cough once like she *might* emit a hairball, and then, she just went about her way. Of course now she's spoiled as hell with Fancy Feast, treats and everything else under the sun.

8. Ruby is short-haired too.

She just gulps her food too fast sometimes.

[Aerows]

9. My mom's cat

gulps food and that causes her to puke. You can tell she is going to do it, too, because she will start screaming for food at an early hour, then she gets it, wolfs it down and starts yakking.

[alarimer]

10. Mine does this too.

And never seems to puke on the linoleum, but always on the carpet.

12. My cat meows in a distinctive way when he's about to upchuck

I grab a piece of scratch paper and put it in front of him.

When I first got him, he didn't understand what I was doing and walked away, but now he obediently barfs on the paper.

[LeftInTX]

13. I know that meow. We had a cat who used to get car sick

[Kennah]

14. My cat's whole body convulses in a way that mesmerizes me into inaction until it's too late.

15. What key do we do this song in again ?

Yeah I say Eewwwww Eewwwwwww my cat Ruby just puked on my couch

[bluesbassman]

19. A. Great Blues key, and this sounds like the Blues to me.

'Course everything is the Blues to me.

[Paulie]

17. Rather it be the cat than the kids

Just saying.

18. Clean it fast. It can stain. (Believe me, I know).

Cats have a weird fetish about where to vomit. Throw rugs. Mattresses. Pillows. Blankets. Chairs. Couches. Shoes.

Basically, never in an easy to clean spot if it can be avoided.

I love my kitties, but dammit, just once they could throw up on the linoleum.
