Well actually Ralph ( insert joke here, but that is his real name) puked in the bed last night and let me roll over into it!
It really was not as gross as some puke he has displayed; just a hair ball and some kitty food.
But it was great getting up at 2:45 to clean the vomit off of me and the bed, while Ralph happily bounced around like it was his birthday.
Oh well, I really love the lil guy and actually felt sorry for him.
I am so owned.
That’s one of the most horrible sounds to wake up to, ever.
My Emma one day left a big squishy hairball on my newly washed sheets - on my side of the bed, of course. It even had little flecks of her last Pounce treat in it. She looked very proud of herself.
Giant_Spongess I have had him for 5-6 years and he has always made it off the bed ( and often under it ) to do the deed.
Poor baby, I guess that nasty hairball caught him by surprise too!
He is always so cute and sweet curled up with me in bed, oh well…I still wuv him so much!
My puppy has thrown up on me several times now.
She runs to me when she’s not feeling well. The first time it happened, she looked so distressed that I picked her up, and bleh! right down my shirt. The second time, I was on the chaise lounge. She jumped up on me, and puked right on my stomach. The third time might not count: she puked beside the bed, cried until I woke up, and of course, when I got out of bed, I stepped in it.
About as bad as having a baby, I say!

…For a Cuervo story. You may know the tale of Cuervo, the adopted kitty. He’s thriving, yet the icky-mucusy sounds in his chest aren’t going away. I call the doc because it’s started affecting his desire to eat, I can see him "urping’ when he wants to eat.
Call the doc, get a scrip for some Robitussin TM, and administer Dose 1.
Little guy who had never in the 3+ weeks he’s been here spit anything up, hates the taste of the red stuff so much that he promptly lets loose the biggest, ickyest blob of cat mucus I’ve ever seen right there on the bathroom tile. This morning, Dose Two, same result. And he’s feeling better for it.
Never thought I’d be happy to see cat spit.
Our Siamese eats specifically to gain more “barf ammo”. I’m not sure that he’s ever actually digested any food in his life. I think he’s solar powered. Plus, we have nice tile everywhere in the house, and he always manages to barf on the carpet or one of the beds!
That’s a sound that will wake me up instantly and have the cat on the tile floor in milliseconds. My cats don’t get sick often but when they do, I’m on it.
Last night, my very sweet, very large and chunky cat attempted to leap onto the bed in the middle of the night, missed, and sank his claws into the underside of my foot. Boy, nothing’ll wake you up faster then having a twenty pound cat hanging off your foot using razor sharp claws…
My Jazz whooped all over me when I was carrying him on my shoulder. :eek:
Apply fish-flavored hairball medicine promptly.
I haven’t been puked on yet, but years ago pregnant Momma cat jumped up on the bed, laid down on my chest and started to deliver her kittens. Now that’s bonding!
Obviously, cats were only named “cats” because the name “yak” had already been given to another animal. Were cats to have been named yaks though, then we could talk about how cute the little yikkies are.
I am so impressed! The closest I ever got to that was Gweniever bringing me her kittens when she got tired of them. She only had two, and she would bring them one at a time and drop them in my lap. She would then go off to sun in the window or whatever, leaving me to babysit.
I told you not to feed them tuna.
I don’t know if it was Tobermory or Vladimir, but one of them puked on the living room carpet last night and the sound didn’t wake me up. That’s a first. I didn’t even step in it, even though it was right by the chair in front of my computer.
Sunshine will sometimes eat the dry food so fast that it doesn’t even start to get digested - it just comes right back up. I just don’t know how that cat stays as thin as she does.

We haven’t been yarked on (yet), but we have woken up to that sound. And then it’s on with a game of “find it before you step in it.” Ours also have an aversion to hitting the tile–it always has to be on the carpet.
One of our cats just got over a sinus infection, and she recently woke up Mr. m by sneezing on him. It was very hard to not laugh, especially when little Hazel was looking so perplexed when her favorite human jumped off the bed and started wiping his head with handfuls of kleenex.
Yikkies… 
Yeah, nothing like the 2am retching sound to get you awake fast:
ullgh
ULLGH
ULLGH!!
Quickly make a mental note on the approximate direction of the sound, ignore until morning. Promptly step in still wet pile upon waking.
My first cat gave birth in my bed. I was 12. It was approximately 11:30 PM. Kitten #1 woke me up by trying to nurse on my side. My parents woke up shortly thereafter, primarily due to the godawful “MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!” that followed my awakening. The cat insisted on giving birth to all 5 of her babies before she would allow us to put them in the nice cardboard box we had so thoughtfully provided for her. We’d put the kittens in the box and she’d pick them back up and put them on my bed. After #5, we put the kittens in the box and she jumped right in and started mothering them.
My kitty won’t eat anything but dry food. (not even tuna!) She puked once that I can remember and that was a hair ball barf. Nice little “Tootsie Roll” turds too.
