Entry FeedHusband went into work early today, so that he could come home earlier. He has been working very late this week, coming home long after we are all asleep.
This meant that I had to get everyone up, feed, dressed and out the door, while making lunches and packing bags. Not a big deal, I do it by myself every second week.
This morning, however, I had an unexpected hiccup - cat vomit.
Why do cats do this? I know Merlin is getting old, but do cats go crazy as they age? He came in this morning, meowing for his breakfast. I gave him a little food (he only eats dry). He ate it, then meowed for more. I gave him a little more, along with fresh water.
Three minutes later he threw up his entire breakfast. What is the point of eating if you are just going to throw it up? Can cats develop bulimia? He doesn't have a weight problem. Maybe he needs counseling.
Of course, as any who has a pet who vomits knows, I stepped in it. Damn! Now I had to clean my feet, as well as the floor, and get everyone out the door.
I can't decide what to do about the socks. I have them soaking for the laundry, but I am tempted to just throw them out. Really, it is not like they are my favourite socks. And though very experienced now with cleaning up some pretty nasty messes, it still sort of grosses me out.
The cat is now happily snoozing on my pillow.
