YOW! How do you manage to pick up all those "gifts" being left for you? My mom has a chronic vomiter too, and she is driven mad by trying to get the piles up off of her new beige carpeting in her apartment (definitely not her choice of color, LOL). Poor baby Tex! What a lucky kitty to have a tolerant mama - I have heard of plenty of cats being turned in at the shelter for this behavior , as though they're doing it deliberately.
