A necktie will make you die and cause you lots of trouble

[sovay]

And then tonight's lofty aims of writing about some movies were suddenly and horrendously derailed by a two-cat reenactment of the "total barf-o-rama" scene from Stand by Me (1986). We have just finished cleaning the kitchen. Including some parts I had cleaned just earlier today. At least we found our really good Pyrex baking dish. If only it had not had cat vomit inside it.

Er, no, not what you want to happen! I hope the kitties are both okay, though. :-/

(And, I suppose, the pyrex dish will still be discovered once this is over. And Pyrex is worth hanging onto!)

Thank you. Both cats are fine! It appears to have been an impressive one-time event. Fingers crossed for no encores.

It was not The Worst, but it was significantly Not Good.

AWW, KITTIES. Sometimes it seems like their tummies just fling stuff out. Maybe they both ate something off the floor?

The floor was mostly clean due to my frenetic mopping earlier in the day! We had fed them a little ham earlier in the evening, although that does not normally cause problems, and spatch found a bunch of undigested cat treats in Hestia's, er, wake, so the going theory is that one of those was the trigger. Autolycus, as far as we can tell, threw up simply in solidarity.

We sometimes call this recreational barfing, though it does not always seem to be a lot of fun for the cats. My sympathies. Cleaning that stuff up is no fun at all. I hope the cats have recovered.

Thank you on everyone's behalf. So far there has been no more vomiting, recreational or otherwise, and we don't seem to have caught it!

Oh dear.

[sovay]

Oh dear.

It was sub-optimal.

Definitely something I don't miss about having cats.;)

Definitely something I don't miss about having cats.

They're worth it, and I tell them so, but every now and then I feel that if I had wanted to spend this much of my life cleaning up bodily fluids, I could just have had a kid.

At least Pyrex is quite sterilizable?

It is and it was, thank you! The dishcloth and the sock and the one winter glove were more complicated, but we managed.
