I am loathe to write this particular post about how I stopped my cat from being sick because each of the three times I\u2019ve attempted it, in the past six or so months, my cat has immediately gone and puked. Writing about him not\u00a0<\/em>puking seems to be an instant jinx: I put pen to paper and it is apparently an invitation for him to break his no-vom run and heave up something ungodly onto the rug.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But write about his non-puking I shall, because this could be a handy old bit of information for some. It’s the sort of helpful info that should be freely passed around, perhaps from generation to generation, even, daubed onto a cave wall or scratched onto a scroll of parchment. Ye ancient words of Ruthe Crillye, in service to cat-owners everywhere. Saving carpets and rugs, one house at a time.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re new to me (hello!) then let me introduce you to my cat, Mr Bear. He\u2019s a British Shorthair, will be thirteen this month and is a bit of a unit, size-wise. (As male British Shorthairs tend to be.) At his majestic pinnacle of weightiness he was an ungainly eight and a half kilos: I feel he is rather lighter now, but he would still do well in a cat wrestling heavyweight championships.<\/p>\n

If such a thing existed.<\/p>\n

God, please let that exist.<\/p>\n

For much of Mr Bear\u2019s life, he has been a puker. Now before we go deep into this unsavoury topic, can I please stress that the following does not constitute veterinary advice, nor does it replace it. If your cat is vomming, please do seek professional help, etc.<\/p>\n

I had to take my cat to the vets two or three times before I worked out for myself that my cat wasn\u2019t dying of some hideous disease, but simply greedy. I am not an advocate of the Dr Google approach to healthcare (internet searching your symptoms to diagnose your own ailments) and I\u2019m not keen on Google Vet (same thing but for your animals) for the same reasons. Reasons I need not go into because they should be obvious.<\/p>\n

Even though – in the end – Google Vet was actually more useful than the actual, really expensive Real Life Vet, I still must be responsible and highly recommend that you see the real person if your cat is projectiling bile around as though its an extra in\u00a0Poltergeist<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, to get back on track: for much of his life Mr Bear has been a puker. Big, fishy piles of mush, thrown up noisily and with what looked like a hell of a full-body musculature workout, all over the carpets. Never on the tiles, even if tiles were close by, and never on the easily-wipeable wooden floors. Just on the carpet.<\/p>\n

I swear that my cat would find an area of expensive, stainable, highly-absorbent fabric even if he was placed in an expansive room made entirely of, I don\u2019t know, granite. Or marble. Had he been a cat in the Palace of Versailles, in the times of – say – Louis XV,\u00a0un chat royale<\/em>, then he would have stalked the miles and miles of marble-floored corridors holding in his vom until he happened to chance upon a section of priceless, ancient, golden-thread-woven rug and then he would have held his curly wig to the side and chucked up on it.<\/p>\n
