Sigh.
This is a story about cat barf (including a link to a photo), so skip if that’s somehow not your thing. Ha ha.
Last night one of the cats threw up in two spots in the bedroom. I noticed a hairball in the barf and thought maybe that was what caused it, but told Steven we should keep an eye out for increased barfing (our cats rarely barf) because I had just switched their food. Chewy didn’t have their normal dry food so I tried another flavor from the same brand and product line.
When I woke up this morning I thought I saw some dark spots in the hallway and sure enough, there were two more barf spots. I thought about pretending I didn’t see it and leaving it for Steven but SIGH I cleaned it up. I mentally told myself that if this keeps up, we’re getting rid of that new food.
Then I went about my morning routine before driving to the 5:45 strength class. I was feeling proud of myself for having extra time and not being rushed as I walked into the foyer to put on my shoes, and, yeah… there was barf on the foyer stool, running down it, on the floor, and, AND!!!!! in the shoes I wear to class, that I store on the stool.

Who did it?! (old photo from March)
So much for not rushing. I tried to clean that as best I could and wore different shoes.
I threw the food out when I got home. I should have looked at it more closely – it has sweet potato and our cats don’t process that very well (obviously). Poor things.
Happy Friday! Cross your fingers that was the end of it for me!
Noooo…not the shoes! I cat sit for our neighbors when they go on vacation and their cat has a very sensitive stomach, so I’ve had those times when I think I’m just going to go in and feed and play with the cat but there’s a cleaning project waiting for me instead. Good times.
Luckily I was about to toss them anyway, but still. Gah! I feel so bad for cats (and their humans) with chronic tummy problems!
Our cat barfs so much. We’ve done all the things, but she’s just a pukey kinda girl. Also, it looks just like the colors in our rugs, so sometimes we step on it without knowing it’s there. *sigh* I’m so sorry. There’s nothing worse than having a busy morning and having to stop and deal with vomit. If it makes you feel better, that happens to us at least once a week!
Ugh. I am sorry you have a chronic barfer! And that you sometimes step in it. Sigh. That is suck an ick feeling!
Gahhh. That’s the worst! Especially when you’re trying to get out the door in the morning. Poor pukey kitties. Eloise is my barfer but she usually just regurgitates her food so it’s solid, at least. (TMI, maybe, lol)
Ha, not TMI for me! That’s the best barf to clean up! Less stains too.
