Short Cat Puke and Hairball Stories Part 1

In this section we would like to have stories (of the humorous or not so humorous type) about cats throwing up!

If you have a good story you would like to contribute - please see our Contact page and send it in!

3/19/01 - My husband sat in it!
I warned him not to sit in my favorite chair to watch the television. He didn't pay mind, and when he sat down, he immediately discovered one of the cats had puked on the afghan covering the chair. His pants were dripping with the stuff!! YUCK!!

3/7/01 - Would you like worms with your puke?
Has anyone ever stepped barefoot in cat puke in the middle of the night that contained a big bunch of ROUND WORMS?? I DID!!!!! YUCK!!!

3/7/01 - More dogs eating it!
My daughter's cat pukes on the average of four or five times a week.....always just after he eats (he eats extremely fast).....always looks exactly like it did before he ate it. Oh yeah, dogs seem to love eating cat puke and ours is no exception. He seems to know good puke (the puke that's fresh and warm) from bad puke (containing hair balls, etc.) which he won't touch. YUM YUM!!!!

One cat I had hardly ever puked but when he did would do it in the litter box....now there's a smart cat!!!

I really hate it when a cat pukes, runs, pukes, runs, pukes, runs...........

2/25/01 - What Toby did!
I do not believe what Toby did! I spent DAYS in a fit of domesticity, cleaning up my kitchen. We are talking: washing walls, cabinets, cleaning the oven, cleaning the refrigerator, including having burial services for the stuff that died therein --- in other words, cleaning every square inch of everything in the kitchen! I walk in the kitchen two days later and notice a little plop of something which looks suspiciously like cat puke on the edge of the formica. Upon pulling out the stove, I discover that Toby had, oh so neatly, barfed between the cabinet and the stove. For those who forego the pleasure, this means that the little dickens barfed on my burner covers, my extra oven liners, down the side of the stove AND the cabinet, as well as a major plop on the floor. Thank God I have dogs who think that cat puke is wonderful! Possum licked up the stuff on the floor; I had to take EVERYTHING to the sink, scrub off the barf, wash and disinfect the cabinet, the side of the stove, the floor (after the dog cleaned up the particulate matter). This took me about 20 minutes. I are not happy! But the precision of the puke is absolutely improbable!

1/18/01 - yes, it happened to me!
i was busy filling in my job seekers forms and putting down what i'd been doing to look for work, you know the form you HAVE to take in to show them at the jobcentre, so after all this hard work i left my form on the dining room table to make myself a cup of tea. low and behold when i came back spotty had thrown up allover it. NICE! so it really was a case of 'sorry, but the cat was sick on it' when i went back to explain myself! another favourite trick of hers is she was sick in one of my trainers all ready for me! fourtunatley i realised before i put them on! despite that she is a really lovely old bagpuss!

1/10/01 - Part 1: Foiling the Puke Plots
I also fake the kitties out a bit in the summer, when they get to have a romp outside (supervised, as there are many dogs in the area, not all belonging to responsible, leash owning, fence erecting or chain using folks). They gorge themselves on greenery and bask in the sun, plotting where to puke once allowed back in. I have a designated OH NO rug, an old piece of a once expensive and now tattered oriental rug, which I put down by the side door entry way. I can block kitties in this area, and I do when they have been grazing. I also leave food and water there so they can 'load up'. After an hour or so, all have managed to puke (except 1, he never pukes. Ever. At all.) and can be allowed into the house proper once again. Every now and then one will have saved up some gastric disturbance for the 'good' carpet, but it isn't nearly as bad the 1st batch of puke.

11/1/00 - Gross but accurate!
This site is gross but accurate! Anyway, I have two cats and one of them is a long hair chronic puker. Fred, the puker will never throw up on a surface that's easy to clean, nope not our Freddie. He insists on making a mess of the rugs and furniture. Well I haven't found anything that does a great job on the furniture but baking soda works well on the rugs. What I do is let the mess dry until it's hard and vacuum it up with the vacuum nozzle to remove as much as I can. Then I spray the area with water and sprinkle on a healthy dose of baking soda. Let this dry and then re-vacuum the area. Almost always good as new. If that doesn't work then try Chem-Dry.

8/29/00 - by Dave Ninja - Dog likes eating it!
so the night before last i was woken up at 4:30am by the sound of a cat (assumed Burgie) puking in the hall. SO i got up so i could pee and then clean up the puke before someone stepped in it. When i got out of the bathroom i realized the dog was in the hall eating the cat puke. I tried to pull him off but he was too persistant and had already eaten like 90% of it. So i let him finish the job. There probably was a hair ball that he ate up too. So this is the dogs new trick, cleaning up after the cats. I always like how the cats are meowing because their starving, then i feed them and one will throw up and the other cat will eat the throw up and then the pukey kittie will start meowing because its hungry again. What a vicious round thing. Anywho, after the dog ate the cat food he was energized by that extra vitimin they put in cat food and he wouldnt stop making noise so he had to be put down.. i mean outside. Later i found more cat puke on the other side of the dogs baby gate. So he was all hyper because there was puke for him to eat that was just taunting him a couple feet away.
