Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2004And Chester's the smart one?
Hi all: We don't understand what's going on with Chester. Once or twice, maybe, but nightly for over a month? The first time we heard the sound of him retching, we were both in deep REM sleep. We woke up. Straight up. Six feet above the bed with legs spinning like on the Flinstones. Both thinking the same thing "NEW CARPET!!!!!!!!!" We finally found him in the bathroom with his neck high-centered on the garbage can. He was leaning in trying to see something and gagging himself. He's been doing harmless and non-productive garbage can retching every night since ????? Susan M Otis and Chester > Hi all: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Susan M > Otis and Chester Hmm.

He always looks very pleased with himself, too. :) Stacey :) What a smart kitty! He should be pleased with himself.

ROFL! What in the world does he think he is doing? Maybe he enjoys gagging...

Sometimes my dog will think she is being ignored and will start retching. As soon as she is rushed outside, the retching mysteriously disappears. CATherine |
