Cat Vomit - Cleaning Tips

**krazyaboutkatz** · 03-25-2011, 12:47 PM

Just last night Sky ate too fast and he barfed up his dinner all over my carpet and carpet runner.

I usually hear him making the hacking noise so I try to move him to a hard surface if possible. I've been using Simple Solution which is also an enzyme cleaner and it works well. First I blot the area with a paper towel and clean up all of the vomit. Then I spray the enzyme cleaner and blot more. Then I spray more enzyme cleaner and I let it air dry. If I still notice a spot after it's dried then I spray more on it. Good luck.

Mac scarfs and barfs nearly every day. It's a lot less since I switched to grain free feeding, but he will still urp at least a couple times per week. The sneaky little devil does this in the middle of the night and it's often dry and crusty by the time I find it. I will try some "Get Serious" from PetSmart. Thanks for the tip!

Same here. 9 times out of 10 I find it after the fact all dried. I am wondering if the grain-free would work for my Buddy. He has the medium length hair and I always just assumed he barfed so much from the longer hair.

happy labs, I feed grain free wet and dry. Grain free wet is tricky, it's difficult to find a brand both of mine will eat. Wellness wet seems to work for me, though they like Royal Canin the best, even though it is NOT completely grain free, it is fairly close and they will both gobble it up!
For dry, mine go crazy for Blue Wilderness Duck or Chicken or Solid Gold Indigo Moon. The Solid Gold is a little cheaper, but both of these foods are so good price isn't the most important thing.

Cassie is a snarf and barf girl sometimes. When I hear that ll-aak, ll-aak sound I try to get something under her quick. When that doesn't work, I use Resolve or Formula 409. If it's dried on the rug, I use an old table knife to try and scrape up the vomit before I spray it with anything. She's barfing less now that I feed her three times a day instead of twice.
