I don't know if it's hairballs or just indigestion half the time, but our cats are little puke machines sometimes too. Bailey has hardly ever done it, but Claudia and Leo have thrown up more than the other two. Leila does it every once in a while too.

I just don't know why they back up while they're puking, but it sure does spread the stuff out all over the floor! Claudia did it earlier in 3 places! She seems to not chew her food as much as she inhales it, so we think that has something to do with it sometimes. We even feed them Science Diet Hairball Control Light (Leo needs the lower calorie food) and I usually try to give them Friskies Hairball treats when I can get them on sale (they hate that syrup stuff - Kittymalt - and they also do not like Pounce Hairball treats). Oh well. It seems when they get the Friskies Hairball treats they do a lot better and don't puke, but I can't always get those b/c they're soooo expensive sometimes.

Don't you love how when one cat pukes, all the others gather around and at least one of them tries to "clean" it up by scooping at it with their paws? Silly kitties.
