One of the joys of owning a cat that most non-cat people are not aware of is playing the exciting game of Find The Puke. Its played like this: You are awoken, usually at 3 or 4 in morning, when it is still too dark and too early to get out of bed to investigate at that time, to a sound we cat owners know all too well... blech, blech, blech... This goes on for about 30 seconds until you hear the final, BLACH at the end. You then know that something has escaped your cats stomach and wound up on the carpeting somewhere in your room. Even if you have no carpeting in your room, the cat will find some somewhere because it is against the rules to puke on easily-cleaned surfaces. You are instantly aware that you will have puke to clean up as soon as you decide to get out of your nice, warm bed. What a great way to start your day! These joyful thoughts lull you back to sleep until your alarm goes off. Now the real fun starts. In your morning stupor, you get to stumble around looking for whatever it was your cat decided to hack up a few hours ago, but the real object of the game is to find it with your eyes before you find it with your bare feet. Your cat sits on the end of the bed, watching the drama unfold like Jigsaw in the Saw movies. Sometimes you find it right away, but sometimes theres nothing....and you start to wonder, Did he really puke, or did I dream that? Then you begin to doubt what is real and what is make believe....are you dreaming now? Snap out of it! When you finally find the wonderful pile of hair and vomit, you get to clean it up and scrub the carpeting, and the game is over....until your furry friend decides to play again. And heres the kicker...hes the one who decides when you play. Always him. You dont get to deicide. Thats another rule of this fabulous game. So, if you are thinking about getting a cat and were not aware of this great game you can play with your feline, hopefully this has helped in your decision.
