Sorry. I hit something wrong. And my spell checker is possessed. I have tried to augment my ex wives cats high dollar cat food with cheap stuff and those little bastards can eat around it. How do they do that? I mix it all up and when I check on it later all the cheap stuff is left uneaten and the good stuff is gone. Do they do that with their mouths? How? It beats the hell out of me. Can anyone share their experience. My research is about done with these five ..yes that is not a typo...count'em... five cats. My next project is finding the best way to run them down the garbage disposal.

We have about a three by three piece of carpet in the whole house. All the rest is hard wood floors. Those bastards are like dying elephants when it comes time to puke. They make their way through the house and will not spew until they make it to the one piece of carpet and then heave all over it.

It's what separates the primates from the felines and canines and all other animal species - the ability to hold something in one hand between fingers and thumb - which moves in the opposite direction to the fingers.

Except when you have carpet. Then they will walk through the house and puke at 5 or 6 different spots along the way!

2 dogs...and if I give them some leftover beef stew, they will leave a completely clean bowl with all the peas from the stew piled in the bottom of the bowl but licked completely clean. Kinda cool.

One unbelievably spoiled dog who can crack the shells off pistachios and hazelnuts and eat the nut itself while leaving the shell behind. Will find the most expensive oriental carpet in the house to yak on. Has a tendency to steal paper napkins and tissues and old dryer sheets and shred them in neat little piles. Superb little personality otherwise.

Now that you mention that Tish...my first wife and I had a Corgi....(cool dogs) but to get him to eat a pill from the vet was like ...next to impossible. Put in cheese or wrap it in ca cold cut. I would sit there and watch him and she would sit there and look me straight in the eye the whole time chewing and chewing and you could watch her eat mouth start bulging and contorting and never lose eye contact and pattoooeeeee out comes the pill. We can do it so I guess it shouldn't be that surprising. Maybe it's because cats are so lazy i figured they would just eat it all down. Looks kind of the same and smells the same. It just pissed me off to throw it away. Every thing they eat turns to crap anyway.

ML, I knew a gal who kissed her dog, all the time. She even kissed her dog on it's mouth..immediately after this dog just ate another dog's feces. I don't think she saw the offensive act as I did. I immediately told her, in which she turned green and ran to the bathroom. Poor woman..it cured her--never saw her kiss that mutt, again.

One spoiled Cocker Spaniel. Eats absolutely anything that we do. Getting her to eat pills is a doddle - bury it between the bread of a thickly spread Marmite sandwich and it hardly touches the sides. Very considerate dog though - only throws up quietly in the middle of the night in our bedroom doorway just so that one of us is able to locate it with our bare feet at about 4am.

ha, Phil...I can relate! My adult daughter's cat, likes to leave little regurgitated messes at the bottom of the stairs, in which I have stepped in, many times..with bare feet! Do I clean it up. Nope. My daughter gets up and does the deed! Her cat..her job!

I'm on vacation for the rest of the year, so I am practicing my mind control powers. So far I have been able to get Phil's dog to yak in his doorway, Q's cat to throw up on the only piece of carpet, and get Irish's friend to kiss the dog after it licked its nuts!

What I hate about stepping in cat puke is that if you don't wash it off and dry your foot completely before you kick the cat your foot slides off and you really don't get the distance you get with a clean and dry foot.

I agree. You need solid footing to max out the distance.

Why can't we address the stuff that leaks out of a cat at the source. Get rid of the cat(s)
