Of course, if you hang out in the “Chance Me” forum, they’ll answer, but you gotta take the answers with an entire shaker of salt.</p>
<p>Unless the “chance me” thread is “chance me for getting cat barf out of my carpet” I will steer waaaay clear of the chance me threads! Actually, come to think of it, there is a relationship between the chance me threads and barf…</p>
<p>CC so needs a LIKE button!</p>
<p>I think the same person who coined the word hairball also came up with the term spitting up, referring to what babies do. It sound so harmless doesn’t it?</p>
<p>We ripped out all the carpet downstairs and most of the time our cat barfs on the hardwood. For the times she doesn’t, our stair carpet is camel-colored in a loop or Berber weave. Blends perfectly! I shamelessly admit letting it dry and then scraping it off, unless of course my wife steps in it first!?</p>

Our house and basement are perhaps 2/3 wood and tile and our kitties have never barfed on anything but carpet.</p>
<p>love the thread title, too!</p>
<p>Royal kitty in our house did ruin new carpets (ivory carpet & cat barf not a good combo).
Did switch to the expensive cat food (i.e., no food coloring). I must say when cat barfed, no more stains.<br>
Also found Spot Shot to help a bit prior to switching food. But had to do spot shot more than once to get spots out…
And yes, Royal Kitty had perfect aim–never on hardwood, always on carpet. We’d hear him start urping and we’d run, trying to find him and re-position to hardwood. Had ~ 50% success on that manuever…</p>
<p>the things we do for our beloved pets…</p>
<p>thanks for the laugh from another barfing cat, stained carpet owner</p>
<p>My now deceased cat, would be asleep in the kitchen on the hardwood and would actually get up to go vomited on the family room carpet. This would happen often as if he preferred the carpet. His sister on the other hand spent most of her time under the kids beds. Twice a year I would pulled the beds out and spend and hour cleaning up hairballs and vomit. </p>
<p>Not my oldest dog will actually ring the bells to go outside whether it is to potty or vomit; I love this dog :)</p>
<p>In my case, a cream Oriental with pink and green flowers. I cannot count how many times my cat has hairballed and puked on it, or how much he enjoys sinking his claws into it.</p>
<p>Seriously, linoleum if you have a cat. Or anything that can be cleaned with a normal carpet cleaner.</p>
