I think I just threw up in my mouth?

Ed has been shedding at a phenomenal rate lately.


With the warm weather? He has some knots in his fur and I have taken to removing them with clippers, scissors or gently pulling them apart so I can get a brush through his hair. When I use a pair of scissors to clip the rough patches I sometimes get a negative answer from him and he struts off a little groomed and a lot bothered...

So far, so good?:cool

With this on-and-off style grooming, Ed will sit off to the side and take care of the 'loose ends'.

To me?
That means I have to vacuum and watch him closely for the hair balls that are to follow.

I know when Ed will blow chunks.. He wakes up from his nap and does this little mewl, go to the hallway -it he has time - and blows chunks.

I have old newspaper to shove under his nose and we have doen well with THAT form of 'treatment'.

Last night I left some newspaper by the recliner and when I went to pick it up this morning? I didn't see the small puddle of puke he left on the the edge of the paper and put my thumb into it.

:confused::eek:

I was totally stoked and happy, Maybe he has learned to puke on the paper?

I was so FULL OF MYSELF that I tossed the paper out and thought nothing about it.


On the..uh....HIS recliner I have placed a sheet across the seat and a large cotton beach towel down the back of the chair.

Easy clean up and maintenance?


I began to straighten up the towel and put my hand into a pile of puke and a giant hairball.......The towel absorbed the moisture and didn't let it soak thru..I guess he was asleep on the towel, woke up and tossed his treats on the seat.

I was happy, but, I forgot the cardinal rule of cat puke.

Ed will spew a giant hairball on his first try, them puke a little smaller pile to finish. The pile I found this morning was the secondary 'shot' - I should have known better and looked for the primary puddle!:D

This afternoon, Ed was looking like he wanted to puke again, so I grabbed a section of the paper and layed it out, he hit the paper AND my thumb.


LOL, he moved a little farther into the hallway, I grabbed another section and while managing to ignore the warm feel of 'Vasca de Gato' on my hand and managed to grab THAT mess too.

Man,

The things I do for love....:o

He just made his way in front of me and I gave him a huge kiss on the forehead.



I may just throw up a hairball myself.....


My lips are covered with cat hair.

:confused::rolleyes:

My cats are also shedding like crazy. It's this weird weather. I woke up this morning to wash my face and got cat hair in my eyes. UGH!!!

When you hear the "URKA, URKA, URKA" sound, it's bound to produce a pile of cold, wet fur on your rug that you usually find in the middle of the night, while walking to the bathroom.

Lizbud,

Of course!!! I swear they plan it that way!

Joseph's fur seems to be clumping and coming out in bunches.:(
There are a few hairballs around and isnt it odd that they are in spots where there is heavy traffic:eek:

The joys of being owned by a cat.

Tim & I are puking hairballs too, for some reason ours are shedding right now & we can't figure out why!!


We had a bunch of people over for Tim's B-day a few weeks back, and before the party we vaccumed the furniture REAL good, then we put the cats in our bedroom/bathroom during the party and for some reason we still saw cat hair!! :rolleyes:

When Tim's step-mom got to go home, she had cat hair on her butt!!! (we both chuckled.....she doesn't like cat hair on her!! :rolleyes: a real P.I.T.A )
