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.)

(2,104 posts)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.
