no not on the carpet!!!!!!!!!

Heh, I don't know how they do it, but my cat does exactly the same sometimes. This reminds me of my ex boyfriend who got himself a cat, but didn't know much about what to do when the cat started vomiting (his first cat) and he reported back to me by saying '..lesson one: never carry your cat to a better spot if they're going to vomit..' He's adores his cat, but this made me laugh, it was so cute.

From my experiences with cats, I've found that there's really no way to train them. All I could have done and still do is "catch" them in the act and quickly carry them away to an area that I could clean easily. Also, there's no point in having rugs around. I had an old, worn, puked, crapped-on living room rug replaced two years ago for laminate flooring. That flooring is easy to clean and stays nice in spite of what the cats do. I've heard that linoleum is good too.

Sorry but I have to laugh. I know exactly what you mean. But we got rid of all our carpets but don't you worry, they found another place....in my clean clothes basket.lol. They have also been known to do it on anything important that happens to be lying on the stand.lol. I haven't found a way to train them yet but it would be nice if I could.

Hehehe...That is just so typical.... I think that they just do it to annoy us....No, I really dont know why they do it, but they always do..Its very strange.

Nope. I'll tell you want, if you have no carpet in your house, like me, they will then try to throw up on ANYTHING besides the floor! I've even had one manage to hit the cat litter once, but that was just a fluke!

I dont know about cats, but I do have a dog. He would throw up all over the house. When you hear your pet start to heave, quickly grab them and take them to any certain place in your house. Now my dog goes by the back door and vomits.

Thats so funny and very true. No matter how I try to show them dont throw up on the carpet they do it anyway. Oh well thats a cat for you. If you feed your cat dry food change it everyday and clean the bowl. My vet told me that and it works they throw up as much.

Boy can I relate to this, I have seven cats and I am always cleaning up vomit every day. They always seem to hit something that is going to stain. It drives me nuts. And I also scream at them but I usually feel really bad afterwards because they cannot help it.

LOL! Many, many, many times! It must be some kind of ancient genetic memory in cats, don't puke on smooth surfaces, because..... who knows why! When I see one of mine about to spew, and I try to slide a newspaper or something in front of them, they back away from it as if it's going to bite them... crazy-making! Easy emesis is part of cat physiology. I'm not positive, but it may have had to do with regurgitation to provide food for the young. I know that's a trait of dogs, would have to look it up to be sure. Anyway, their esophagus is quite short, if they eat even a little too much, they blow the whole meal. There's also the hairball spews (we call them "cat sausage") and the too-empty tummy spews when they don't eat enough at their previous meal. I put catnip and oat bran in their food, and that helps to keep the sausage production down. If one cat vomits often, you might want to have that cat checked for worms.

Yes, I've yelled that at my cat. I don't know what it is about carpet, but she'll move from the floor to carpet just to barf. Thanks alot, Hunnybunny (sarcastic). I mean, seriously, does it feel better or something to barf on a soft surface? Maybe during my next drunkin stooper, I'll try barfing on the carpet instead of praying to the porcaline god...
