My cat did exactly that this morning... puked in my bed while I was in the shower. I really need to start shutting the door to the bedroom at all times and making sure she's not in there now. Spent the first hour of my day dealing with that. Blankets are still in the wash. Probably run it through again for good measure. Mattress won't be dry for a while anyway so don't want to put blankets on it until I go to bed.

Didn't end up doing epoxy today, my cat puking kind of threw a wrench in my day. Bedding is now back to normal and bed is setup again. It was JUST warm enough for epoxy anyway and there is a frost warning and instructions say it should stay warm overnight for it to cure properly. I don't know what is the max time you can wait after etching but hopefully I will be fine. I will probably want to rinse it out again to get any extra dust off. The wind has been so crazy it's pushing dust through every possible crack in the garage so I'm not sure what I will do about that. The slab needs to be completely pristine for the epoxy to set properly, otherwise it will probably bubble. It's suppose to be hot on Saturday so I will hopefully get to do it then. Hopefully that wind dies down. I can always rinse the slab again on my lunch break on Friday. I don't imagine it takes more than 45 minutes, I did not really time it when I did it yesterday.

My cats puking wasn't normal. They both are hypothryroid. I have to give them a pill twice a day to counter the overactive thyroid.

If I could find a use for the puke I could be rich. Maybe some kind of additive in concrete to make it repel rodents or something. I think the smell would repel people too though. :p
