Thanks, all. It helps, though this morning my mom decided to reschedule our visit to next week. She really doesn't want to see her in this state.

Aims, that's a wonderful story.

Man, I know I'm feeling emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed when the cat barfing makes me almost cry. Granted, he barfed on the patio-door slider, which is possibly the most difficult thing to clean, but still.

He's been barfy the last few days, I don't know why. He doesn't seem to be sick; he's acting like his normal self, everything's normal, he's just throwing up.

I'm the one who's sick. I need someone to clean up after me. My house is a pit and I don't have the energy or will to clean it.

Oh, he just threw up again. And again. I'm going to clean this mess up and then have a drink. Drinking is bad when you're sick, isn't it? I'm drinking.

I really need to replace this carpet.

Sorry for the crappy day, Zen. gives cat a stern look Have a drink. I hope the cat is finished with the yuck stuff.

I'm at the office working. Which is pretty much a good thing. Except I am supposed to have help from my sons, and I don't. Poopyheads. Anyway, I got this huge contract that we have been wanting for 6 years, which is good. But now I have to work my ass off to do the actual work. Then there will be a bunch more contracts to follow. I don't even have time to read the resumes for the ads I placed much less interview people to help. So, exhausted and overwhelmed, but it beats being broke, ya know.

Aw Zen, that sounds like a no good day for anyone. I hope kitty and you both are feeling better soon.

I got barked at through the fence by my neighbour's guide dog this morning. (Who is a young dog and still puppyish, despite all his training.) Oz puffed up like a blowfish, but did not otherwise freak out. Thankfully, he can't get through the fence to their backyard.

I'm sorry you are feeling so icky, Zen.

Throwing up but otherwise ok sounds like either hairballs (whether or not any hairballs come up) or food that does not completely agree.

Zen, you may want to get that checked out. It's probably nothing, but when Seamus starting throwing up a lot, he had pancreatitis. Not to scare you, but better safe than sorry.

Sorry, I skimmed the last few posts and am not remotely caught up. I just face-planted in the middle of a 10-mile training run, and everything hurts. Ow.

I had Leo to the vet once before when he was throwing up and hiding (he's not hiding now) and they said it might be pancreatitis, but then after three days and over $1000 they said it wasn't, and couldn't find anything wrong. If he starts hiding or acting differently, I'll take to the vet, but for now, I think it's more likely the food. We'll go back to the old food and see if that fixes things.

Sounds like a plan.
