If you have one rug, I'll vomit on it.

If you have a million rugs, I’ll vomit on all of them.

If you have no rugs, it means my job is done.

Yesterday my cat took a shit. Then stepped into it with his back paw and proceeded to try and shake it off all over the house. I was playing "find the specs of turd" for hours after while he followed me around demanding a treat 🤷‍♂️

Their instinct to cover their waste so that predators aren't alerted is the same reason they barf on fabric or carpet. We have a kitty with a sensitive stomach who pukes on the bath mat every week because we have wood floors. I love her, but goddamn.

Our elder cat, who's nearing the 20-year mark, has recently taken to sleeping by my seat on the sofa, meaning that I'm finding surprise barf cushions with increasing frequency. I just started draping a blanket over the area.

The litter mat you just cleaned 2 seconds ago

My cat puked into her litterbox once. I was so proud of her for that. Sadly it was a one time only thing 😅

On the rug. Preferably on a spot which has not yet been puked on.

The only good thing about a cat vomiting is that they generally give plenty of warning so you can move them or put something in front of them to puke in. At least, in my experience, they tend to make hacking/gagging noises for like 10-15 minutes before actually puking.

But much to expect it to get it all in one tile. I mean it’s only 6” square.
