Last night I barfed on the sofa. The BRAND NEW sofa. The Woman was not happy about it, but she cleaned it up anyway while I sat there feeling quite pleased with myself. I mean, I've managed to nail both the new rug and the new sofa in less than three weeks, I think.

The problem is that it wasn't a hairball. It was a total surprise--I was just curled up there taking a nap, minding my own business, when suddenly there it was. Barf.

While the Woman was sleeping last night I barfed again on the bathroom rug and then in the library. And this morning I didn't pester her to get out of bed to feed me, I just let her sleep. When she did get up to feed us...

Doods, you won't believe this.

She opened a can of tuna Stinky Goodness for me, but I didn't eat it. I didn't eat! I sniffed at it and licked it a couple of times, but I just didn't feel like eating.

She even tried giving me crunchy food, and then crunchy treats, but I just couldn't make myself eat.

I'm not sure how I got sick, but obviously, I'm just not feeling well. So I think I'll spend today napping on the bed with the fuzzy blanket, and hopefully after 8 or 9 hours of sleep I'll feel better.

I hope so, because not eating? That just isn't right.

Max, I am a bit worried about you. Can I temp you with some ham? If not, I think you need to get fixed up right away!!!

The Whiskeratti said...

Oh, Max, this isn't good. Take care of yourself! We hope you don't need to go visit the Stabby Place.

Rose L said...

Okay Max, did you eat something you shouldn't have?? My cat sister, Patches, did that once and it blocked her somehow so she could not eat without throwing up. YECH! The nice vet was able to fix her up and she came home. After a few days she was able to play with me again! Phew!! Good for that or I would have had no one to play with.

Motor Home Cats said...

Gracie did that a couple of weeks ago - she just didn't feel good, and kept barfing. Mom let her rest on her, and by the next day, she was all better. We will be purring that you just have the 24-hour flu. If not, you might have to go to the stabby place to get stabbed.

Thumper said...

Max ate a little bit a few minutes ago; he couldn't resist the Elegant Feast Fancy Feast. and he doesn't seem to be running a fever...hopefully it was just a quick bug and he'll be back to his snarky self tomorrow.

Just Ducky said...

Oh Max, hopefully just a quick off day. Somedays I don't each much either or a yak up and it doesn't mean anything.

Quill and Greyson said...

Dood maybe it's a giant hairball? I have had issues recently. Hope you feel better!

Spitty-the-Kitty said...

Dude, it is not normal to not want to eat, you should check into that or something....or I could just eat your food for you and we'll be golden. Either way, feel better!

PJ and the One-Eyed Jack said...

Oh, man, awesome job on the barfing. PJ often likes to wake up our people with a good middle of the night barfing - they must really appreciate it cuz they jump right out of bed to find out where he left it. But not eating - man, that is not cool. We sure hope you are up to scarfing some stinky goodness and soon so that you don't have to go to the stabby place. Get lots of rest and feel better fast,k? We'll be sending you some special purr vibes.

The Kitty Krew said...

We're glad to hear you've eaten a little since then and hope you're feeling all better. The Stabby Place would be a bad place to go...we think Callie is headed there tomorrow 'cause she's not really eating, either (but there was no pre-not-eating barfage involved...none that The Mommy has found, anyway... MOL).

Purrs and hugs,
The Kitty Krew

Heide said...

Dear Max, I hopes you're feeling better soon. Did Budha put something in your food? I have a new sister named Roxie and she's really evil. My humans are so clueless and my guess is that your humans think Budha's an angel too. Sympathy licks to you.

Love and scritches,
Bonnie

p.s. here's the real scoop about Roxie http://heideho.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/help/#comments

Ivan from WMD said...

Mark's Mews (Marley, Lori, Loki, and Binq) said...

Max, in all seriosness, we think ya ought ta ASK to go to the V-E-T. We know that against all yer pricnipals!

Barfin is OK. Not eatin a day is OK, but barfins AND not eatin is worrisome. Get yerself checked out Dood.

We want ya ta stay around fer a while...

cheryl said...

oh, dude--the meowers and i are furry distressed to hear you are all barfy an' stuff. a cat not eating is cause for much hand-wringing and brow-furrowing at our house, and we're sure it's the same at your place. we're purrin' and prayin' that you have just a li'l "gastric indisposition" that only lasts 24 hours, an' is no particular reason to visit the stabby place!

best wishes fur a speedy recovery--
the meowers & mom

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

We hope you are already feeling better! I (Junior) barfed this morning too and Meowm whipped out the cat lax and we both were given some....just in case.

Clara said...

Oh, I hope you feel better soon! My ex-roommate's cat barfed and vomited when she was sick and it wasn't fun for us, but I am sure it was much worse for her =(

Will you tell us what you have once you know it?

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

Max about two weeks ago I did the same thing, and adding to the barfin I was poopin too. I wouldn't eat anything either. Momma tried everything, and she watched me like a hawk cuz she was afraid she was gonna have to take me to ... the dreaded cursed V-E-T. Luckily that didn't happen. Next day I was pretty OK and I've been fine since. But Momma's get scared real easy when we don't eat. So, I hope you feel all better now.

Chazya said...

my kitty has been the same way the last few days. Barfing all over the bedroom and living room carpets and refusing to eat her food.

I do hope you feel better soon, its no fun to be a sick kitty.
