Eli and Abelard are doing more than their share of puking for the last day
or so. I'm not quite ready to take anyone to the vet yet but if this keeps
up for much longer.... It's been mostly water they've hurled so far but Eli
lost one load of moist kibble yesterday. Hoping it's not something
contagious.... I thought Baby Eyes was included in the sickly group, too,
but with her it was just hairballs. Abelard can't stand to lose much weight.
Maybe all they need is a new pot of grass to munch?

Has anyone done any spraying for bugs or weeds in your vicinity? MLB

That would depend on what you mean by my vicinity. It's been chilly here for
the last week or so, and the windows have all been closed. I haven't sprayed
anything myself, and I doubt that anyone else has come into my house or yard
and sprayed anything. If someone had come into the house without my
knowledge, though, I would be sick myself, because I am very sensitive to
those chemicals.

I'm getting more at my house also. Until some other symptoms occur, I'm putting
it down to getting warmer weather, them cleaning more often, and getting more
hairballs (which, of course, makes them barf)!

Two cats puking at the same time indicates a poison - I wouldn't mess
around too much - take them both to the vet.

I tend to agree with you, but... there simply isn't anything accessible to
them in this house that they could ingest/inhale that would be harmful.

Aparently, some folks out there on the web think barfing is funny.

Soncek sometimes eats too fast and then vomits his food, but luckily
it's never been more serious than that. We are hoping your kitties
recover without a problem also.
Lots of purrs and best wishes,
Polonca and Soncek

My TuTu walked around the house this morning barfing in about 7 different
places. It was my fault. For her breakfast I gave her some leftover
cubed steak. She loved it. But I should have remembered that beef does
not sit well in her tummy. We have been through this before, but it has
been so long, I just didn't remember. MLB
