Cat threw up in the washer thread

12 years ago

Does anyone remember where this thread is? Someone mentioned funny stories to me and this was one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I'm thinking there are new people on the forum who have never read this thread, and they SHOULD!

Joann's labor of love is the KT Gathering Place, on it she has a link to some of the infamous funnies posted here. I'm not sure if this one is here, I think that originated on the House Disasters board? Each board seems to have one, the Watergarden board had How much to feed a goldfish.

Here's the link to the funnies!

Living in a place where there are lots of restrictions can be a real pain, too. I just moved from one (a condo community). While there was no restriction against putting a washer and dryer in your unit, all were subject to individual review and approval. One long term board member routinely voted against approval, because she had lived there for "20 years and have never had a problem using the laundry room or going to the laundromat" She felt people that had their own washers and dryers were "self entitled and lazy". A neighboring unit owner fought mine because he was positive he would see my dryer vent when he looked out his skylight. When it was pointed out that he would have to have his face pressed against it to see it, he said "well I will see the steam coming out". You may be forced to use materials on your house you don't like. I did a project in a community where one woman complained whenever anyone painted their front door in the correct color, because they didn't match the faded version of the correct color on the other doors. I couldn't wait to finally get out of my HOA even though I have no say as to what my neighbors do, and my next door neighbor does lots of things I don't like, including passing out when he is cooking and nearly burning his kitchen down. And our houses are connected.

Sorry, I'm on the wrong forum. In the Kitchen Forum, there was a hilarious thread sometime back about a stove decision--the stove met the poster's requirements, but it had a "chicken nuggets" function, so she just couldn't bring herself to purchase it. I looked at the settings that showed up on the manual linked above, page 21, and it reminded me of the nuggets function thread. I use temperature just fine, don't need announcements about meat, etc. This post was edited by kitchendetective on Thu, Oct 24, 13 at 16:58

My cat won't stop throwing up....

My previous cat had a similar problem. It is possible your cat may be sick so you should take her to the vet just to be safe. However, it could be an issue that your cat is eating her food too quickly and it's too much at once so they throw it up. My previous cat suffered from this for a long time. There are several ways to tackle this problem. First, you could give the cat only a little bit of food at a time. Give a little. Wait 10 minutes. Give a little more, repeat process until all the food given. This is a simple method, but I also realize some people are busy and don't have 30 minutes to feed / wait / feed wait. Second, (and this may sound a little weird and it ONLY for dry food, not wet) but put large SMOOTH stones in the food bowl. The purpose of doing this is that it takes the cat longer to pick out the food bits around the stones / crevices. It basically forces the cat to eat more slowly. Third, you could give your cat only wet food. This method worked very well for a friend of mine who also had a cat who threw up all the time because he ate too quickly. In general cats take longer to eat wet food. Anyhow, I understand the frustrations of cats throwing up all the time. It gets a little annoying cleaning it up constantly. Good luck!

Wet cat food triggering stomach upsets

molanic, amen. I truly believe all of us here love our cats and only want what's best for them, given our resources and abilities. I just realized this thread was in the home decorating forum! :) Well, it is in the "Discussions" section. I didn't realize there was a pets forum. I actually like having OT discussions with the regular GW members. As I mentioned in my OP, the catalyst for my wet food quest was my friend's cat almost dying from a urinary blockage. Fortunately, he survived, at considerable $$$ expense. He was put on a strictly wet diet by the vet. My friend "W" and I talked about it at length, I trust her, and I adore her cat. Online I read from a variety of sources and all signs pointed to wet being better for cats, hands down. So here I am, trying to do the right thing by my dear kitties. I'm not gonna give up, but neither am I gonna stress the entire household. We'll get there eventually. Zephyr is on presnisolone which can (and does) cause weight gain. He's not obese, but it's at his upper limit. My vet is very strict about cats' weight. His twin, Bessie, is small and lithe. She has the typical sagging stomach, but it's not fat. They eat the same food although I'm sure Z helps himself to some of hers. Me, I've been about a size 4 my entire life. :)

DEFINITELY a classic!
It's not on the Gathering Place, but Joann, if you can put it there, please do!

I was going to post the other day, that Smudge and Roxie are SOO good at leaving their gifts in the 1 room that has carpet.
They'll run down the hall to purposely throw up in the livingroom.

Bud, our short-haired cat is called "The good son" because he's never puked.

I loved it. Clever responses. Someone asked if the cat was agitated? They were on a roll.

If you want to hear it, I can do a really good impression of a cat reving up to wretch (which seems like forever in the middle of the night)and then the actual elimination.

Note to myself: the cats get brushed tonight.

Thanks for bringing that back. I am rolled over my desk laughing. (ROMDL)

Must be a darn small cat ... or a darn big bolt and nut, to need such a large washer to accomodate a half decent sized puke!
