Ghost vomit

GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK BLORT!

GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK GAK BLORT!

(Check time: just after 4:30.  That sounds like my cat.  Moments later...)

WHORK WHORK WHORK WHORK WHORK WHORK WHORK BLORSH!

WHORK WHORK BLORSH!

(Oops, there goes [livejournal.com profile] atara's cat now.  That one sounded juicy.)

I don't know which was worse, being awakened at 4:30 in the morning by the sound of two cats vomiting, or searching around later in the morning and only being able to find one hairball...

Apparently you didn't search bare footed, you would have found that second one. :)

I would laugh, but I've found more than one hairball that way. When you own cats you learn not to walk barefoot in the dark.

Isn't it amazing how the sound of a vomiting cat manages to reverberate through an entire household?

I'll never forget the night Ra vomited in my bed, with me in it. That was uniquely unpleasant.

One of the most effective alarm clocks around. ;p

I'd have to restrain myself from barbecueing the animal after such an incident. :P

Damn malfunctionning neurotic critters. ;)
(I bet lions and tigers don't have hairballs, or at least
I hope so, *shudder*)

My cat isn't neurotic, he's deathly ill -- so I cut him a small amount of slack because it's out of his control and I've been in his proverbial shoes before.

However, with that being said, I still can't understand why the little twit understands to use the litter box for waste but won't do me the favor of vomiting on things that aren't carpet. One time he even harfed on top of my kitchen table.

Cleaning up vomit is just one of the joys of owning a pet. If it's not a cat hacking up a hairball, it's the dog spewing up something smelly and disgusting that he mistook for food earlier.

My cat not only has to deal with hairballs, but she's on two different oral medicines that irritate her stomach if she doesn't get food into her soon enough after the medicine.

Yes, an alarm.... too bad it went off two and a half hours early in this case.

On my ankles.

After, it would seem, cleaning the last of the food from the bowl AND consuming a large amount of water.

And this, you see, is WHY I will always keep the guest bedroom door closed when I crash at your place :-)
