1/10/01 - Part 2: Weirdest Pukes - Weirdest pukes so far (covers 2 houses and 22 years of living with cats)

1) 1 puked in the fridge as I was contemplating dinner selections. He was "helping" me decide and got too excited, I suppose. Easy clean up, but major gross out factor.

2) 1 was playing swirly water in the toilet and puked on the seat. I am pretty sure I know which one, but the confession has not been made.

3) Twice now I have found puke inside the entertainment center, 1 on the vcr, 1 on the shelf the vcr lives on. Are they watching movies while I am work ?? How are they opening the glass doors and closing them again ??

4) 1 has puked ON the DOG. Between her ears, for god's sake. Either she was really out of it, or there was a planned puke attack from a high place (kitty tower, or maybe washer/dryer)

5) 1 is a neat freak and not only covers her puke, she pukes in "neat" places (possible culprit in toilet seat puke) - 2x in wastebaskets, uncounted times in empty food bowls, (human, kitty and dog - I doubt is a feeding attempt), several times in shoes (worse kind - you can't see it, sometimes it takes awhile before you know it happened - sometimes you get to work and SMELL it before figuring it out ! hubby has had that pleasure, so far I haven't, thank god), once in a pocket (my summer jacket)(I have no idea how, it was there and it was gross) and several times in the kitchen sink. She knocks a dirty dish or the sponge or whatever is handy on the counter into the sink to "cover" it. Wish I could her to turn the water on and rinse it away. All her pukes are identifiable by the attempts made to cover the puke with some item, usually clean laundry dragged from laundry room.

6) 1 managed to puke 1/2 way up a curtain - it stuck pretty good, only dribbled a few inches. I don't dare guess at what was happening before the puke occured.

7) In the CD tray of hubby's computer (he left it open ! I think the neat one did this, too, but it was uncovered, so I am not sure)

8) On springs and edge of mattress of fold away couch bed, as a kitten, from inside the frame of the couch (hole in rear of couch was made by older, more skillful kitty, who fortunately was TOO FAT to fit inside frame) - this was discovered when bed was pulled out for a visitor. Who luckily is also a cat owner and understood.

9) On range hood where it protrudes out from under cabinet, most likely done by being on top of cabinets (a possible attempt at projectile puke - perhaps another attempt to get dog from on high, or result of seeking warm spot to nap and not wanting to have to move too far - just lean over and let fly, so to speak). Small dribble to stove top, this one was mostly fur ball.

10) and one small kitten with a not quite mature digestive tract, a piggish need to consume other (adult) kitties food stuffs and an over-active play mode managed to puke on itself. twice. in ten minutes. And thought it was a cool thing.
