They just sit there, look at you while you have the wet rag in your hand, and you get that whole look of....

"Thank fucking GAWD you're here.....do you have ANY idea how long I've had to look at this shit?"

My male Siamese was pretty easy going, even though he ruled this part of the block. The female Siamese, who lived 19.5 years, was so used to me getting up at 6am that when I semi retired and could sleep in most mornings she would sit at the bedroom door and howl until I got up and fed her.

My cats main food is always canned, they have dry food out but just snack on it. They don't get the moisture they need from dry food. Remember cats can kill a mouse or bird and eat it raw so their digestive system is geared for fresh raw meat.

I have read where a animal that pukes or urinates in areas frequented by their owner, in this case your bed, is pissed off that you are not there. There are other reasons for puking too and a google search would be in order or maybe a trip to the vet.

...when they puke on your bed while you're at work....


Can't say I've ever had a cat puke on my bed, come to think of it.
They've been "trained" to puke on the floor.
Yeah, that's about the extent of training I can manage to pull off.
(Litterbox use doesn't count, as that seems to be instinctive or else learned through osmosis.)

My overgrown kitties have had a limited understanding of the English language...
... Get the eff [off] qualifies, as pertaining to kitchen counters, and various incarnations of Xbox video gaming consoles (360, Kinect, X1).
I've always fed my cats both moist and dry food, plus treats like shredded deli lunchmeat.
Only when one has wolfed down dry food without drinking any water, have any mishaps occurred.
Not counting hacking up hairballs, on rare occasions...

Honestly, how can anybody resist our furry feline companions?

ETA: P.S. LOVE your graphic there, FelineRanger. Portends such a universal truth.

Status: offline 		To be honest, anniezz338, my cat really never pukes hairballs just food...I never see hair in the puke....I do feed her grass too and never see grass in her puke either...it is a curious situation....she only pukes dry food and sometimes wet food.

Iams hairball dry food. Works great. I can't remember the last time my cats puked up hairballs.

I also gave them hairball medicine and it seemed to work well. They must have enjoyed it because they ate it up.

Please. My lab pukes piles bigger than a whole cat - wolfs down dry food, drinks too much water, redeposits both on the landing of the stairs. This normally happens about 10 minutes before my alarm clock goes off, so I can find it (by eye or otherwise) on my way down to make coffee.

lol, Curry only takes the hairball paste when he is really stressed about not getting it out....then he takes it voluntarily....otherwise he does not want to have anything to do with it...

Regarding puking, my girl usually does it when she did eat too greedy.....does not happen often....but when it does, its regularly being observed...

And yes, Cats have staff....unlike dogs, who have owners...

Brush them regularly and they will have few if any hairballs. My Abigail is a big longhair and has never had one. I brush her almost every day.

My kitty I have had for about a year and a half now almost never pops. I think two of the three times she has was when she ate my birthday flowers...
