One time my dog threw up and my other dog ate it, threw up and ate it again. He’s not smart.
“As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.” Proverbs 26:11
Lol yeah I even gave you the reference in my post.
So it’s not even a modern problem, huh
It’s incredible to think they don’t mind given that people say how good dog’s sense of smell (and taste?) is.
Maybe we’re the ones really missing out.
i’ll be the fun fact guy: they have incredible senses of smell but way less taste buds than us hoomans so that correlates into “does it have a STRONK ODOR? ok i eat dat” so it’s almost like flavor isn’t part of the equation with dogs (or at least obviously not the first priority.)
It’s probably more complicated than that. They eat cat turds because of high nitrates, which are actually fairly nutritious for dogs
Kitty Rocca!!
The dog. The dog ate it.
In my house, the other cat ate it. They can be just as stupid
Nature’s dumbest, most disgusting and loveable vacuum cleaner.
You forgot most annoying!
Back when I had two cats this was never a problem because one cat would always eat the other cat’s puke. Now that only my little girl is left, it’s usually one of my socks that finds it now.
Random irrelevant fun fact about my cats: my boy cat weighed 18 pounds and my girl cat weighs 6, and I always saw huge poops and tiny poops in their litter box and naturally assumed that my big boy was responsible for the big poop. But after he died I was left with just the huge poops in the box. Quite a surprise.
Big boy got big by keeping the calories in.
Physical trainers hate this one trick!
Dennis is doing “hummingbirds” right now
Is he? They must be imperceptible to the human eye

Sometimes it’s just dry heaving
The only way to be certain is to walk around barefoot in the dark…if it exists, you’ll find it…
You need to add that you should not do this if you have kids that use Legos otherwise your comment may be considered a human rights violation.
A nice, dry pair of socks works, too
Sometimes it’s just liquid that dries up pretty quickly.
Don’t worry, you’ll find it when you step in it
And chances are high that you’ll be wearing a sock and it will be in a very dark room when you do
That’s a good thing, can just discard the sock and deal with cleanup later, but if it barefoot, you have to clean yourself up now
You start your morning playing mine-field, doing the round squinting for suspicious marks, watching your steps, clearing one room at a time. Today it was the hallway
Or one of your other animals cleaned it up. Had this happen many times with my cat/dog and dog/dog vomit
I have to watch my dog like a hawk, but he’ll find it for me.
“Area rug in front of the litter box, CLEAR…”
The dog found it. EDIT: Darn it lol someone beat me to it.
You don’t find it. It finds you.
I sometimes have very vivid auditory hallucinations when I go to sleep so that wouldn’t be surprising.
Like I sometimes hear music, which doesn’t exist and I can understand the lyrics. It actually is there. Or sometimes I think someone is talking, but nobody is there, even though I could understand the conversation.
Ah, the hypnagogic state. I find myself staring at complex 3D patterns, when I become aware and focus on them they slowly fade out.
I occasionally get sleep paralysis, don’t actually bother me. I get the most boring hallucinations, but cat throwing up one is the worst. Never quite sure if it was real or not.
hork hork hork hork hork
…check on bed then check under the bed…
Yeah I’ve found the little house of hairball horror under the guest bed…
I too join in the under-the-bed club. So hard to clean, why not any of the many hard floors?!
Probably the dog ate it
My God this happened to me just the other day. Except when I went to look for it I walked out of my room into the hall and immediately stepped in it 🙃
We have 3 cats. I definitely feel this one.
My first concern is that they aren’t vomiting on the bed, but that does happen (very rarely, fortunately).
Do they puke often? Mine does maybe 4 times a week and I’ve been wondering if I should worry :/
Four per week seems like it might be a lot for one cat.
Every cat is going to do it now and then - if nothing else, they get fur in their throats and have to cough that up.
But I had a cat that had food allergies and inflammatory bowel disease (that cat has passed away, but now we have another cat that also developed IBD…sigh). That cat did a lot of throwing up. We have three cats now, and I’m cleaning up fewer messes than he generated alone. I miss him a ton, but I don’t miss cleaning up the messes.
But, my suggestion is that you note what’s in the vomit - are you seeing fur? Undigested food? Digested food? Or just bile? And note the frequency. And then talk to your vet.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I’ll definitely keep an eye on this and count the undigested food that it rejects.
for mine its maybe one per few weeks and she has very long fur so that seems like a lot, you should talk to a vet about it
Thank you, I’ll keep an eye on this!
Why is it always on something that is either extremely difficult to clean or something that’s just excessively inconvenient?
It’s never a dream. Trust me. ITS NEVER A DREAM.
It was in my shoe, the right one. Masterfully puked into the shoe, not a drop anywhere but in it. Cat puked Bacon fat is a great lubricant…
