Default This is just gross!

I really hope you have finished breakfast...

....now see, I truly love, with a passion, my ginger cat Charlie, however sometime during the night he appears to have gone into my office and upchucked in the window ...BUT my office windowsill (the scene of the crime) contains my pots of paperclips, pens, staple remover, staplegun, sellotape holder ....and yes, he got the lot

Charlie sounds like my Alfie, 17 and ginger howls for food constantly. Our old cat Wizz used to bring home half eaten rabbits, one day she ate the whole front half and dropped the rear at the feet of a friend who'd come to dinner

No, I have to disagree. Cat sick is infinitely more disgusting. At least with the right diet, cat poo is easier to clean up!! I think it's the plehm (look, I just typed that 3 different ways and they all look wrong, so if it's spelt wrong, well, tough!!!) -like consistency that does it for me. That and it's always a distinctive 'cat-vomit yellow'.

My friend has a really fat fluffy cat who get's all sorts caught in her belly fur. She came home from work one day, let the cat in the back door and followed her in. She then proceeded to slip on the floor and went flying across the kitchen. She'd stood on a fat slug that had dropped of the cats fur. My pal was lying in a pile on the floor and the slug's innards hit the kitchen plinth. Eeeow!

EEEEUUUUUUWWWWW!!! To all of this thread!
Cat sick - I would have thrown the lot out.... I've had 3 kids, worked in a nursing home, dealt with all sorts of nastiness, but vomit I still can't handle

And as for the slug things... If I stand on a slug or snail with my big boots on, I can't put my foot down again for about 10 minutes without it curling up... Euww Eeeeuwww Eeeeeeuuuuuwwwwww!!!
