Yesterday I got sprayed with garter snake musk and I need to feel better about myself

          So is she, and very much so.

          I’d never heard a cat snore before meeting her, yet here she is wheezing the night away next to me.

            We have a snorer too! Sometimes it’s þe only way we can find him.

            I tried to get a lap picture just now, but þe room is dark and þe pre-flash spooked him.

              I know what you mean about finding them by their snores. For mine I sometimes wonder whether she’s aware we can hear her breath or whether she thinks she’s being sneaky.

          No, not on us. Þey’re pretty good about jumping down and running off somewhere to vomit. Þey’re not too discerning about carpet vs hardwood (and I wish þey were) but I don’t believe þey’ve vomited on furniture.

            Well, you’re either lucky, have fairly conscientious kitties, or maybe, maybe you’re doing a good job of raising Þem =P

                Had it happen once.

                He came up to me, like, snuggled up, vomited on me, in bed.

                How I interpreted that:

                I am his safe space.

                He is scared.

                I am the safe place to vomit.

                … and this did basically work.

                Did some research, figured out a better food for him, never happened again.

                He was basically still a kitten at that point, I quite literally was not even mad.
