You're absolutely right, as that cat will puke in the most inconvenient spot.
My cats always run across the tile floor to the carpet to puke.
The other day I watched my cat drink an obscene amount of water, like 10 minutes straight of licking, then she went to the basement and puked it all up at the base of a cabinet.
I had to empty the cabinet and move it to clean up the 99% water puke.
My cats will be about to throw up, so I'll slide a paper towel under them, and they will try to move to get back to the floor.
I do that too. It's a much easier cleanup.
For the cats, at least. I wouldn't recommend doing it for yourself. I learned that the hard way.
They are just being considerate, since puke blends in better with carpets. Ask me how I know.
They think the carpet is a nice soft soil with grass growing in it. In nature, a soft surface like that is full of bacteria that will break the puke down and prevent disease from spreading. Puke on a hard surface, and that mess isn't going away for a long time.
