4. Cats prefer a smooth, stylish surface upon which to vomit.

They have been manipulating mankind for eons, to create for them the perfect surface upon which to vomit.

It's a conspiracy I tell you. Total MIHOP.

5. Right this moment an interior designer is in our living room discussing wood flooring with wife.

So when I vomit it will be easier to clean up.

12. I recommend tiling the vomitorium

Then you can just hose it off in the morning.

9. because that way

when the cat's staff inevitably steps in it, they won't fall on their assets.....:)

10. I don't get it either.

It seems like you're just laying fabric down that will start absorbing all the nastiness and preserving it there until you rip the carpet up again.
That sounds over-dramatic but to me carpet's gross :puke:
Part of our house has hideous brown shag, the exact same color as partly-digested cat barf, and we want to rip it up but the floor underneath is in such bad shape we have to wait til me plan what to do with it and how we're gonna pay for that.

11. Because we work for them, goddammit.

It's their house, so their rules.
