Gracie here! Breaking news! Stuff is happening in the kitchen. Peeps coming and going and big boxes coming in but I’m not writing about that just yet.
I have a story for you that is hysterical, at least from a cat point of view and that’s the important point of view.
Sasha had a barfy day yesterday. She barfed every time she ate. At first it was a hairball but then it was food. She eats too fast. The lady peep was getting tired of cleaning up after her. After dinner when Sasha started to make the gaggy noises, the peep yelled “Not on the carpet! Not on the carpet!”
She raced in and swooped up Sasha. She tried to carry Sasha to the hardwood floor three feet away. As if by magic Sasha began barfing. It was a perfect arc that included six feet of carpeting. Remember she was only three feet away from the hardwood so this took skill. As if that wasn’t enough, she did a stream of three feet on the hardwood. Food bits glued together with stomach acid and gluey mouth mucous. Very cool!
Us cats were laughing so hard our sides ached. Gus, the newest mancat asked how long the peep has had cats. Morgan, the oldest, said there were cats here when she come to live and one was a really old one. By our feline calculations it had to be eons. Maybe even when the dinosaurs lived. Gus then asked why she thought that Sasha wouldn’t barf on the carpet? Or why she thought we would listen when given a command? Did she think we were stinky dogs?
That’s when the laughing began! Sasha paraded around proudly. Her work for the day was done. The peep was on her hands and knees cleaning carpet and her co-conspirators were all high-fiving. The only thing that would make it better was a little catnip to celebrate.
I did good!

Dear Gracie – I chuckled at “a cat point of view and *that’s the important point of view*” and I enjoyed reading about all the barfing antics by Sasha and you cats all laughing hysterically. But … be nice to the Peeps – they have their fingers on the pulse of the household a/k/a the ability to cancel those nice weekly Chewy deliveries with a click of a mouse (and not the kind of mouse you’re thinking of)!

We have all hardwood floors but our dogs like to barf on the couch instead.

We don’t barf on furniture except the occasional dining room chair but only if we are sleeping there when we get the urge. There used to be a cat here who preferred the tops of sofas for barfing. There was always a color coordinated towel there.

Smart move with the towel and well done for not barfing on furniture. 🙂

Oh, Sasha, you floor me!! When will they learn? Sometimes I eat too fast and get a tummy ache, too. It just feels good to release it, right? I’ve never reached the 6-foot arc though. Quite impressive. Now I have something to aim for. Thanks

For some reason, all pets seem to take great pleasure making sure that the vomit lands on the carpet. We instinctively seem to have built in tape measures in our digestive systems.

Jack barfs quite often and usually on wood floors. Teddy rarely barfs, when he does it’s epic and on carpet. So far Sophie hasn’t barfed but wants to eat the boys contribution. As for Sophie, she poops on the floor next to the box twice for every one time she uses the box. Drives me crazy. Going to try a different litter and see if she will change her bad habit. Good news about the kitchen!

My old Jake would pee outside the box if there was one pee lump in it. He only did this for the last 2 or 3 years of his life. I got smart and put a crumpled towel next to the box and he would pee on it. I did “pee towels” twice a week. I still have them for projects! 😉

I tried putting cat pads next to the box but she just went to the side of them to do her thing. It’s getting old…and she is really stinky.

What’s really strange is she goes to the boy’s box and if their poop isn’t covered she gets in the box and scratches to cover it. So it seems she knows what to do.🤔

We are not going to have any more pets, and this post underlined our determination. I’m feeling sorry for you, Kate. Sadie has barfed twice on my watch, once on my bedroom carpet. I love her and will care for her as long as she is here, but that’s it.

They give so much pleasure though. I can’t imagine a house with clean carpets. The upstairs at this house has wall to wall carpet and as soon as we can catch our breath, we’ll replace it. Lots of great choices of flooring out these days. I will start downsizing (or so I say) as they die. They won’t be replaced. Maybe.

We never replaced our last three cats. We missed them, but we were enjoying more freedom when our children grew up. Having Sadie living here has been a delight.

That’s the worst. I have one cat that didn’t like other cats. She and Jake would occasionally go at it. She was old at that point so I kept her upstairs. She was grumpy until the day she died. I resolved not to get into that again. I will adopt any cat needing a home but they need to like other cats.

Sasha and Gracie are barfers. Sasha’s is most from eating too fast. I have no idea why Gracie barbs as much as she does. Her fur is thinner and even her hairballs aren’t much.

My sympathies are, as always, with the cleaning lady peep. The most one can hope for is that a cat pukes on the inexpensive carpet (puking on hardwood floors or tile being a feline impossibility).

A cat that barfs on hardwood would be considered inept in the feline world. The more $$ the carpet, the more points you win.
