Cats puke on tile for one reason only

[Orrex]

And that reason is this: to lull you into a false sense of "maybe this wretched beast isn't actually on a mission to destroy my carpet."

1. And they puke on carpet

so you won't think they're out to destroy the furniture.

They're evil, I tell ya!

4. we have brown shag carpet

we did NOT put it down, we want to pull it up someday, but for now it's the exact same color as cat barf. It's so convenient!

2. I put the cat in the bathroom at 5am

for this very reason. I woke up to the sound of wretching by my head. I put her on the vinyl floor then cleaned it up in a jiffy and went back to bed. We used to have carpet in our bathroom yuck! Really dumb idea carpet in a bathroom.

3. Nice catch!

Once or twice I've propelled the beasts into the bathroom or laundry room in order to confine their offerings to the tiled floor, but my success rate is about 50/50.

What kills me is that even on a tile floor with a small carpet, they'll go out of their way to avoid the tile.

They're fundamentally foul creatures, to be sure.

5. I am not alone in suffering this?

Wow, and I thought it was only my little Princess that did this. Damn, anyone had any luck treating Feline Bulimia?

6. They do it because they can. No other motivation is necessary for a cat.

7. Don't forget the puking on the bed...usually in the middle of the night

so that you're required to get up and change the bedding. Cats are sadistic.

8. NO NO NO! Dang it

Its at the bottom of the stairs so you step in it at 530 am stumbling to make some coffee.

COld and squishy- and no doubt they are watching within 5 feet of you

9. Cool!

I thought I was alone in my suffering with a cat that seems intent on making sure I won't get my cleaning deposit back. :)

10. I thought it was to give the grout an interesting patina.

11. So true.

My apartment is 100% either hardwood floor or tile. The bathmat is the only scrap of carpet-like substance in the entire apartment. Why yes, that is where the damn cat always pukes.

I suppose I should be thrilled it's not on furniture.
