I give up.

[RICHARD]

Yesterday Ed got up from his nap and began the mewl.

He has this sound he makes before he throws up.

I ran over with a piece of newspaper to catch the puke.

As I was bent over, the station the TV was tuned to played this promotional clip that made me start to laugh.

I was laughing so hard, I started to black out. I managed to stand up and clear my head.......

Now, my real problem?

I lost my glasses....in all the commotion I set them down someplace and cannot find them.

That was yesterday about 5 p.m.

Pray for me.

[katladyd]

Prayers are being sent.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Get nose to nose with Ed and see if he's wearing them! Also check any chairs or sofas before you sit down.

[Randi]

LOL! Have you looked under the newspaper you put over the puke? I hope you find your glasses.

I had a strange experience last night... Fister puked very late in the night and I couldn't be bothered to clean it up at that hour, but I went to the bathroom and also brought some kitchen-roll paper (what's that called in English?) to soak any fluid. He does only puke right after eating, so it's kind of partly chewed dry food. When I got out of bed this morning and wanted to clean it up properly, there was nothing. I cleaned that part of carpet anyway.

You know what... people who doesn't have a cat or dog would think I was a complete loonie discussing something like this in a public forum! Who cares!

[RICHARD]

Oh me!

I have a newspaper basket by the TV. I gather the papers there, so if I need to reference a story I can find it. The basket gets emptied the day before trash day.

Ed goes to the hallway to throwup and the basket is within arm's reach.

I had grabbed the newspaper from that basket and managed to get a section to catch the vomit.

I just threw out the paper, maybe the glasses fell in there?

Nope.


I walked over to the fireplace where I threw the puked-on paper.

There, up against the little fireplace shovel tool, were my glasses.

In the commotion - and before I got to sit down and recover?

I bent over and because I was laughing so hard, they must have fallen off of my head!



Thanks for the prayers, they worked!

[happylabs]

Oh my. I am so blind that if I laid my glasses down and forgot where I put them I would be in real trouble! Glad you found them. I hate cat puke.

Randi...I know what you mean...non-pet owners/lovers have no interest in talking about such things. What is wrong with them?!?

[katladyd]

Mac is my pukemeister. I hate it when he pukes in the middle of the night and I step in cold, sticky, cat puke when I get up in the morning. Yep, Mac manages to puke somewhere between my bed and the bathroom everytime. I think he plans it.

Does it go something like this?

URKA, URKA, URKA

I'm always too late with the newspaper or paper towel. That's when I get out the carpet stain remover.

[Randi]

Isn't that true... they have to puke ON A CARPET - and definately right in the middle of the path from the bedroom to where they KNOW YOU'RE HEADING! But don't we just LOVE them!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

yep, there's nothing like cold cat puke between your toes in the middle of the night!!!

[happylabs]

yep, there's nothing like cold cat puke between your toes in the middle of the night!!!

Oh yea. And if it is there somewhere on the floor, my bare feet will always find it!

[catmandu]

That happens to me all that time Richard as I mithings or lose keys, receipts and even a bag of Cat Food.
I had to take two buses back, but thankfully it was there at the bus stop.
And after all that My Found Cats wouldnt eat the stuff!!!

We are glad that you found your glasses!!

Oh my goodness, this thread has me laughing SO HARD! That's exactly the pre-barf sound I know so well!

Cassie does not like to have barf land on a newspaper, a rag, or whatever else I can slip under her. Must... make... Mom... get... Resolve... urka urka urka

We call them paper towels.

Feel free to continue with the original topic now...
