Just this morning I was greeted by barf on the couch! Can they go outside? Can they do it on the hard floor. No, of course not...it must be on the carpet or furniture, in the middle of the night.

My 3 cats are Barf-O-Matics: hairballs, grass, general principle. If I remember to dose the longhairs with Laxatone 3 times a week, plus brush them everyday, it really reduces hairballs. Luther, who has profuse hair, is getting shorn tomorrow.

When my cats were more outside cats, I didn't notice the throwing up. But since they now have a catdoor, they prefer to barf inside.

At work this morning, the cat people were discussing this very topic. It's a fact: cats throw up.
