evanuggetpiWas it a dream? Where is it?
I sometimes have very vivid auditory hallucinations when I go to sleep so that wouldn’t be surprising.
Like I sometimes hear music, which doesn’t exist and I can understand the lyrics. It actually is there. Or sometimes I think someone is talking, but nobody is there, even though I could understand the conversation.
Ah, the hypnagogic state. I find myself staring at complex 3D patterns, when I become aware and focus on them they slowly fade out.
Sabata11792I occasionally get sleep paralysis, don't actually bother me. I get the most boring hallucinations, but cat throwing up one is the worst. Never quite sure if it was real or not.
AnissemOne time my dog threw up and my other dog ate it, threw up and ate it again. He’s not smart.
It’s incredible to think they don’t mind given that people say how good dog’s sense of smell (and taste?) is.
ivanafterallMaybe we're the ones really missing out.
It’s probably more complicated than that. They eat cat turds because of high nitrates, which are actually fairly nutritious for dogs
Kitty Rocca!!
i’ll be the fun fact guy: they have incredible senses of smell but way less taste buds than us hoomans so that correlates into “does it have a STRONK ODOR? ok i eat dat” so it’s almost like flavor isn’t part of the equation with dogs (or at least obviously not the first priority.)
“As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.”
Proverbs 26:11
clubbSo it’s not even a modern problem, huh
Lol yeah I even gave you the reference in my post.
The dog. The dog ate it.
Nature’s dumbest, most disgusting and loveable vacuum cleaner.
You forgot most annoying!
ChetzemokaIn my house, the other cat ate it. They can be just as stupid
It was in my shoe, the right one. Masterfully puked into the shoe, not a drop anywhere but in it. Cat puked Bacon fat is a great lubricant…
DreamButtSometimes it’s just dry heaving
The only way to be certain is to walk around barefoot in the dark…if it exists, you’ll find it…
You need to add that you should not do this if you have kids that use Legos otherwise your comment may be considered a human rights violation.
A nice, dry pair of socks works, too
Sometimes it’s just liquid that dries up pretty quickly.
Don’t worry, you’ll find it when you step in it
And chances are high that you’ll be wearing a sock and it will be in a very dark room when you do
That’s a good thing, can just discard the sock and deal with cleanup later, but if it barefoot, you have to clean yourself up now
We have 3 cats. I definitely feel this one.
My first concern is that they aren’t vomiting on the bed, but that does happen (very rarely, fortunately).
halcyoncmdrWhy is it always on something that is either extremely difficult to clean or something that’s just excessively inconvenient?
nameisnotimportantDo they puke often? Mine does maybe 4 times a week and I’ve been wondering if I should worry :/
Four per week seems like it might be a lot for one cat.
Every cat is going to do it now and then - if nothing else, they get fur in their throats and have to cough that up.
But I had a cat that had food allergies and inflammatory bowel disease (that cat has passed away, but now we have another cat that also developed IBD…sigh). That cat did a lot of throwing up. We have three cats now, and I’m cleaning up fewer messes than he generated alone. I miss him a ton, but I don’t miss cleaning up the messes.
But, my suggestion is that you note what’s in the vomit - are you seeing fur? Undigested food? Digested food? Or just bile? And note the frequency. And then talk to your vet.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I’ll definitely keep an eye on this and count the undigested food that it rejects.
for mine its maybe one per few weeks and she has very long fur so that seems like a lot, you should talk to a vet about it
Thank you, I’ll keep an eye on this!
My God this happened to me just the other day. Except when I went to look for it I walked out of my room into the hall and immediately stepped in it 🙃
The dog found it.
Back when I had two cats this was never a problem because one cat would always eat the other cat’s puke. Now that only my little girl is left, it’s usually one of my socks that finds it now.
Random irrelevant fun fact about my cats: my boy cat weighed 18 pounds and my girl cat weighs 6, and I always saw huge poops and tiny poops in their litter box and naturally assumed that my big boy was responsible for the big poop. But after he died I was left with just the huge poops in the box. Quite a surprise.
Big boy got big by keeping the calories in.
Physical trainers hate this one trick!
Dennis is doing “hummingbirds” right now
Is he? They must be imperceptible to the human eye
ComradeChairmanKGBChonker was cultivating mass like a champion.
CihtaI know this all too well. Grain-free food seems to really help.
Sometimes Fluffy urps in the corner. Fluffy knows better than that.
Cats are fun I like them
Nasty ass cat owners hearing that a mess was made and not getting up to clean it?
At 3 AM? That shit can wait.
It can if you a nasty ass
You start your morning playing mine-field, doing the round squinting for suspicious marks, watching your steps, clearing one room at a time. Today it was the hallway
Or one of your other animals cleaned it up. Had this happen many times with my cat/dog and dog/dog vomit
“Area rug in front of the litter box, CLEAR…”
I have to watch my dog like a hawk, but he’ll find it for me.
Why would you go back to sleep knowing an animal is being sick somewhere 😬
You’re tired? Don’t feel like dealing with puke right now? Many reasons my dude
You just let it soak into the floor or furniture?
I’m tired all the fucking time but if an animal puked in my house I’d be wide awake to deal with it before it becomes a bigger issue 😂
Yep, pee is the only thing I’ll deal with immediately, because I can soak so deep in to eventually that you can’t really get to it. But vomit is not really an issue that can definitely wait because it doesn’t get soaked super deep and can be done with some soaking of the area with some cleaner
Dude, if my dog pooped in my room during the night and by some miracle i woke up to notice that, there is no way in hell I can raise the strength to stand up and go clean
So you just sleep breathing in the smell of shit all night? Jesus christ
It’s not like i’d have a choice. I envy anyone who can just wake up during the night for anything short of an absolute emergency.
When my puppy was smaller and not yet clean i did sometimes wake up to poop on my floor, but i was awoken by my alarm. So I ain’t even noticing pooping or puking in the middle of the night.
I am horrified by the number of people who will leave animal excrement just sitting in their damn house for many hours. Makes me wonder about those times when I’ve been to someone’s house that has that je ne sais quoi cat scent lingering in the air.
They didnt actually throw up this time. It was trauma induced auditory hallucinations.
hork hork hork hork hork
…check on bed then check under the bed…
Yeah I’ve found the little house of hairball horror under the guest bed…
