After a long day at the office yesterday, I just wanted to go home and relax. My cats wait for me by the door and yell for food. I crack open a can of 9Lives and split it 50/50 in bowls for them.
Cat #1 is a hog and finishes his half first.
one minute passes
Like a nuclear reactor meltdown, cat #1 pukes all of his half back into his bowl, licks his chops and saunters away. Mission accomplished, everything is fine.
one more minute passes
Cat #2 finishes his half, repositions himself in front of Cat #1’s bowl, and eats all of Cat #1’s regurgitation as well. Chops are licked.
one more minute passes
Cat #2 volcanoes half of his stomach back into the same bowl.
Cat #1, probably wondering now why he is still hungry, goes and eats Cat #2’s fresh spew (which contained Cat #1’s original blowout).
It is somewhat surreal, as there is no left over cat puke, and the cats act as if nothing happened. In one way or another, dinner had been served.
Are you telling me or my cats? I swear that’s the first time that’s ever happened. I don’t know what got into them. It was kind of cute, but after a short moment of reflection, it’s more disgusting than anything. I’m just happy that they’re content.
How in a great hairy Zeus do you get cats to puke in a bowl? Man, you’re on the verge of a scientific discovery that makes antibiotics look like aspirin!
Does this happen at every meal? If so it sounds like there is a nasty digestive problem going on. For me when that happens its usually the dog who steps up but she leaves nothing for the cats.
Whenever her cat puked, my friend would always clean it up. One day, she decided to let it dry so it would clean up easier. And she found that her cat would clean it instead.
Our big dumb cat Louie howls to be fed. Then he bolts down all the food in the bowl at once, takes a few steps, barfs. Then he stands in front of his bowl howling to be fed again. Bowl is empty, dangit!
ha! I just stopped in here for a few minutes after using my shark steamer to get up the cat puke on the tile. Unfortunately for me, my cats refuse to eat their puke. It is a little easier to clean up if it dries–at least for me–it grosses me out to pick it up with a paper towel and feel the warmth. Ewww! Gotta love them!!
