I once ate something that disagreed with me. I pulled in behind a Burger King and launched my lunch all over the back of the parking lot. I went into the BK to wash up a bit and get something to drink. When I came out there was a dog eating what I had left behind. It’s owner stood by holding the leash the whole time. I thought he was going to be sick when I told him what his dog just ate.
Yeah, with four cats and a dog living in Casa de Briston, you have to be mighty quick with a paper towel when one of the critters upchucks. If not, one of the others will be there within moments to relish a warm meal.
Actually, I rarely move too quickly to clean it up anymore. All parties involved seem to enjoy it, and I’m left with just a slight pile of slobber to wipe up.
My cat loves food so much, he eats it too fast sometimes. This results in him puking, which is quite nasty, but not as nasty as dog puke. Since it’s only been in his belly for a few minutes, it still smells like uneaten food, so he eats it. I always thought cats were more sophisticated, but my cat’s a bit touched.
Your cat is just a normal cat. One of my cats is a binge-eater, and often barfs after her meals. The binge-eater and the skinny cat then fight over who gets to eat the barf.
They get a hot meal, and I don’t have to wipe up the floor. Everyone wins.
Why does this remind me of that Spinal Tap drummer?
“The official cause of death was that he choked on vomit.”
“It wasn’t his own vomit, though. Nobody figured out whose vomit it was.”
“Right. You can’t really dust for vomit.”
Ha! Noel is prone doing that (eating so fast she pukes). Years ago, though, she had a habit of insisting we feed on her the stove top. (When it was turned off, of course!)
Well, one day the inevitable happens-she puked on the stove. We cleaned it up, but some of it got down into the burners and for a week the downstairs smelled like burnt cat food anytime someone used the stove.
