CAT PARENTS- A REMINDER: Never leave important papers near your cat unattended.

[Liberal Veteran]

I spent an hour printing out my pay stubs for the year and left them paperclipped on the futon and this morning they were covered in cat puke.

Why do they do this? Any other time, she would have found a perfectly good rug or hard to clean piece of furniture to puke on. Never on the tile or someplace easy to clean. I'm just shocked none of my cats have puked on the keyboard. (God I hope they aren't reading this.)

1. It was very considerate of you to provide a puking surface that protects the futon

2. What can I say? I spoil my cats shamelessly.

3. Hmmm. Sounds like an editorial comment on the paucity of your pay by said feline.

I can commiserate; there have been many a time when looking at my paycheck I had to fight the urge to vomit.

5. LOL. I feel your pain. My whole house has tiled floors and I watch in amazement

as the dogs and cats run for the one area rug in the family room, or one of the very small rugs at each of the sliding doors or front door, or if all else fails, the furniture. Never fails. One of my cats even puked in our DVR and fried the thing. I think we're getting played.

6. I hugged our cat so hard this morning that he squeezed out a fart

I just want to preface with that because, really, this cat doesn't ever leave me a mess.

He has a cat-door, so maybe that is why. Sorry about your papers.

7. Whenever I hear a scream,,,

ealy morning, late night followed by some choice words, i KNOW the wife has stepped into a suprise! The next day, I hear WHAT she stepped in. I just tell her, you have to LOOK for darker than normal spots on the floor, then go round them.

8. what, did they all plan this together? Yesterday my cat projectile vomited from the sofa

and his chunks ended up on the sofa cushion and splattered all over the top and side of the coffee table covering books, a mouse pad, and the phone AND getting in between the glass and wood. Then he looks at me like I'm the asshole.

14. Can you imagine the hairball that the manul in your sig would hack up?

It would probably be the size of a small dog.

17. Filled with bones and rocks!

9. Mine prefers the bedding, esp. clean bedspreads.

Maybe its the smell of clean linen??

10. I made the bad decision

to move into a home with light-colored carpet throughout the house, with linoleum in the kitchen & bathrooms. The carpet isn't light-colored anymore - it's polka-dotted. The kitchen & bathroom floors, however, are spotless!

It's a cosmic feline conspiracy, I just know it.

11. I got a msg: "Tell him we read this...

...and we NEVER forget!"

13. It wasn't that pretty.

Mine was hairball with liquid that soaked through 26 printed pages (to a lesser extent on the last few pages, but managed to get the edge of all of them). I must commend her on impressive skill at placing her own brand of watermark on each page.

15. I, too, have found papers decorated with cat puke

and finally have gotten organized enough to keep important stuff (e.g., tax records) in covered plastic boxes.

Cat puke turns up in some of the most inconvenient and disturbing places. I am thinking of getting one of these:

16. Or better question

why did you try to poison your cat!

I mean the NERVE of printing out all that toxic ink?, and ramming it all together in a veritable sammich of interesting that you so deliberately baited the futon for her to innocently wander over to and investigate only to be assaulted by nasty stomach turning poisonous ink!



Jusk kidding.
