Yowling before throwing up?

[Barbara]

Tigris did it. I am sure it sounded worse then it felt because he was famous for getting a hairball out and asking for food immediately after

[Catty1]

moosmom has a wonderful word description of the pre-barf sounds many cats make: "urka urka urka..."

[smokey the elder]

Diamond yowls before horking up a hairball; it alerts me to get some paper towels!

My only cat who pukes is Mac, and he's a silent scarf and barfer. All the better to make you step on his "deposits" on the carpet in the middle of the night!

Ralph Syracuse would go: WOE WOE WOE before he would throw up. It was like the general alarm and I appreciated him doing that, I could gather up my cleaning material.

[Medusa]

Oh yes, all of my cats yodel before vomiting. It's how I know to run and get the paper towels and cleaning solution.

Mac does make the "urka, urka, urka" sound, but he doesn't yowl at all.

I thought Tallulah was completely abnormal for doing this, but I'm glad to know she's not the only one.

She sounds like she's dying pretty much. And she also does the "urka urka" sound after the yowling.
