That time Muffin threw up all over the couch


Muffin had some "digestive upset" on the highest point in the living room. We specifically set up this point so my cats would have a place to get up off the floor.. I never intended it to be a launching point for foulness.. Thanks Muffin..

I'll give you something to blog about momma.. you should thank me.
She was on top of these, and this is just the start of it.
She also nailed the other side as well, but that only hit the floor
This side hit the couch full force. yum.. 
Soaking. I wiped the vomit off with paper towels and then applied.
The paper towels were coming clean
but you can see from this photo the camera captures more than the eye can
I wiped it down a bit after soaking it so there wasn't anything to attract the cats.
You can see it immediately got more off the couch.
Soaking couch..
I left it for the night and when I came back in the morning I could still smell the cat food, so I soaked it again. 

I think I'm gonna hurl again momma.. can I go sit on your bed?

My poor girl was quite miserable all night. It was a little weird because my husband and I were in the bedroom watching Godzilla and it was up rather loud, but I thought I heard something so I paused the movie. When no other noises came, we went back to the movie. DH found the aftermath when the movie was over. Poor Muff looked absolutely miserable and I was thinking I was going to take her to an emergency room because this is so very much unlike her, but something told me to wait for one more sign so I watched her like a hawk while I cleaned up the mess.  After about half an hour or so she was ready for some more food, so I offered it to her and she ate it and seemed to be happy about it. I think the beef we offered the day before was a bit too old for her; it was odd because no one else is having a problem. She had some diarrhea as well and I ended up having to give her a 'vanity shaving' which she took like a champ. Since most of her vomiting involved rather large hairballs, I have a feeling the vomiting was secondary to the diarrhea which she tried to self-groom before I realized what was going on and she ended up taking in too much fur while doing it. She is pretty much back to normal at this point, but she will tell you that she would do MUCH better if you would just open up another can of food for her..

  3. Sorry, I had to laugh at this - I had a foster cat who had a GREAT FONDNESS for climbing up onto the highest level of the cat tower before hurling - it was like the castle dwellers pouring boiling oil on the attacking villagers ...

  9. Wow! How interesting that Muffin knew you needed to review Natyres Miracle. We have some, but Mom Paula hopes she doesn't need to use it any time soon.

  10. Oh, dear. Glad Muffin is feeling better, but we sympathize. Pierre is our high-angle vomit champion here. And he does it quietly so you don't realize it until much later, too.

  13. Our mom has tried that stuff, but she uses something else now: Bac-out by Biokleen (found at Whole Foods). She uses a lot of it (Skootch hurls a lot), and it works really well and it doesn't have that wierd smell of Nature's Miracle.
    We hope Muffin is feeling better.
