Purrley,

A while back I was told or read that puking cats almost always cling with their claws while they puke. Now when I hear the signs starting up I try to herd the puker into either the bathroom or kitchen (no carpet), but onto a throw rug so they can cling to something. I've had rather mixed results, but even 50% fewer carpet messes is a help. Maybe you could toss a towel on the bathroom floor and cuddle Spencer there?

Just a thought.
