Cat throws up on rug. Best way to deal with it? Scream loudly and yell at cats profusely, and kick a large hole in the wall, right? Mom seems to think so. And then yell at anyone nearby.
I'd just clean it up. But that's just me. I guess I just don't get why people get so pissed off over comparatively minor things. Yeah well.
Her temper's not bad often, but when it goes, there's not much to stop it.

Ok, ranting complete. Thanks for tolerating.

cats throw up; its part of owning a cat.
i wonder what wouldve happened if she walked into a dark kitchen and stepped in it.
that sort of pissed me off when that happened. but not enough to kick holes in walls.

I already stepped on some of it - I washed my foot off, and cleaned up the floor.

Funny thing is, she's generally more rational than my dad is.

Our cats vomit ocassionally and I don't scold them in the least. What's the point? They won't learn that I'd rather have them puke on the kitchen floor the on carpet, so getting mad about it is pretty stupid. Also, it only takes about 5 minutes to clean the vomit up and de-stain the carpet.

My cat Jasmine is a binge eater.... she'll eat and eat until she throws up.. and then my other cat, LS for short, comes over and eats what Jasmine just threw up.. When thats all said and done Jasmine goes back to eating. Its quite disgusting.

What movie was that robot from? I don't believe he beheaded cats, though the movie probably would have gotten higher ratings if it would have done that.

Cats can have fetishes too.

My roomate (12 years ago) would get pissed off alot, say he was talking on the phone with his girlfriend and they got in a fight. He would hang up and start punching the walls, doors, anything. A few holes were left behind, of course my name was the only one on the lease. And he was clueless as a jackoff, so I had to do the patching to make it look good.

Damn that guy.

Its part of the job as a pet owner. Which is why I don't own pets. If it was never her choice to get the cat, then I can understand why is she is annoyed.

Ya, that's pretty gross. It's sorta like that with my dog, only she throws up and eats it herself... makes me hate it when people repeatedly insist on letting dogs lick their faces because "they have the cleanest mouths in the world"... blech. :disgust:

We should pass a constitutional amendment to disallow cats to puke on carpets.

I would feed the cat to my two dogs and then put them in the back yard until they throw up where I don't have to clean it up......problem solved, peace maintained.

So instead of cat puke on a rug, now there's cat puke on the rug and a hole in the wall. Really productive.

Unfortunately my girlfriend has similar tendencies...not necessarily with Cat puke...but just in general. Most of the time she is completely level headed, and then something small will set her off. It is rare, but when it happens she does not handle it well. It is the only thing we ever fight over.
