    Dog ownership is hearing a gag from the dead of sleep and launching out of bed to move the dog to the bathroom before she vomits on the carpet

      This is also cat ownership. :(

      It’s hard getting back to sleep with all the adrenaline flowing.

        I have a dust pan, like for sweeping, that I keep by the bed, I stick maxi pads to the flat part and use it to catch the barfs. Much easier than moving the horking cat.

          This only works if you don’t have a cat that turns his head at the last second to avoid the vomit catching device.

            Yeah why does my cat refuse to vomit on the floor and always does it on the carpet?!

              My only guess is that cats are disrespectful arseholes. That’s why I like them though.

        Ours is polite enough to only ever hurl onto surfaces that are easily cleaned.

        We’ve got a husky that views this as a “middle of the night” snack. He hears that “Hurp, Hurp” sound and IMMEDIATELY runs over to where the cat is. Full run at 2am He wants to be the first to savor the delicious hair sausage.

      moments earlier, the cat hacked-up a hairball on the rug between the bed and bathroom for you to keep your feet warm with.
