Barfing on the Carpet
I just don't get it. Why do cats run from the linoleum to the carpet
when they want to throw up? Good question. I've wondered why mine position themselves where everyone in the room can watch them ceremoniously hark up a hairball. They are pretty private about pooping and peeing. It doesn't make sense. Sherry |

15 Jan 2004: I should have known she was working on it, though. She hadn't eaten dinner. She didn't have anything TO throw up, thank goodness, so it was an easy cleanup. Then I tackled her and poked a 1/4 Pepcid down her. An hour later she had some dinner. I guess all is right with the world for now. Shadow barfs in 3's. He does a clock motion and that is how I can tell it is him. He doesn't do it as much these days as his IBD is not causing nausea. But I remember when he'd start to barf, he'd chuck up one, then turn a little bit, chuck again, turn and chuck again. After 3 he would always be done. If Kami chucks often, I wonder if reglan would be an option for a CRF cat? It works wonders for Shadow. Pepcid doesn't work for him much, sometimes it does. When it doesn't, I switch him to the generic version of Zantac (also cut into 4's). -- Cheryl I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine. And he shall be my Squishy. Come here Squishy. Ow. Bad Squishy. - Dori |

when they want to throw up? I think it's one of Murphy's Laws. We once had a stupid black Labrador Retriever who would go out of her way to throw up on the shag rug in the living room (that's REALLY hard to to get barf out of) The one time I managed to grab her and drag her into the bathroom before she barfed, she headed straight for the carpeted bath mat and did it on that! |

If I hear it coming, I will VERY CALMLY grab a newspaper and put it down under the cat's (or dog's) face. It is important to be calm or else the cat (or dog) goes running off to vomit somewhere else! 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson ************************************************* http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ |
