Debbie Wilson - 23 Jun 2005 22:15 GMT
This morning Willow was sick out of the studio window :-)
She was happily sleeping on the sill one minute, hork-hork-hork the next
- breakfast sailed out of the window.... we were laughing our heads off
until I realised that unfortunately the neighbour downstairs had her
window open - fortunately she is very understanding as she has 4 dogs, 2
ferrets and a cat of her own.
... I went downstairs, kitchen roll and Trigene in hand, to wipe her
window down, we both had a laugh and she said she was wondering why one
dog suddenly leapt up and looked at that window, it probably thought it
was manna from heaven :-))

Oh, I'm sorry, but I did LOL at that one. I hope Willow is OK.

Oh yes, thank you - she's fine; just one of those kitty hurl-up moments

Funny how your ears get very attuned to that particular sound, isn't
it... :-)

Have you seen the commercial for Hi-def TV where you hear that noise off
camera and then you see the guys carrying his cat and rushing to the door?
It's a BTDT moment!  ;>

As it will be at least a year before we get Hi-Def TV we're not likely
to see adverts for it, however funny they are. It may be possible to
download it somewher of course.

ROFL! Poor Willow, she's being sick and everyone's laughing at her. Give
her a scritch from me!

I will :-))
Poor Willow indeed. She is absolutely fine, though, just one of those
'hairball moments'! Splatted window notwithstanding, it was still
preferable to where she was first aiming - down the crevices at the side
of my work area, underneath which there is a rat's nest of cables, piles
of CDs and half a forest's worth of printer paper... Having said that,
*someone* once vomited inside a large flapped box containing mini padded
envelopes, which I didn't discover for a long time, until the next time
I needed an envelope. Definitely necessary to have a GSOH with cats
:-)))

Oh, I just remembered. I used to live in a place where my bed was on
sort of a loft. Underneath the stairs to the loft I had my desk. I was
still an undergraduate at uni. One day, Frank projectile vomited from
the loft onto the desk. Poor boy, he'd tried to get down and seek out a
rug to be sick on, but he got up from the bed too late. Well, I had an
essay on the desk that was due back the next morning, and I didn't have
my own printer so had printed it out at the computer centre at uni. So
when I told my teacher next day that I didn't have my essay because my
cat was sick on it, I really was telling the truth.

LOL!! But had Frank read it? Was it fair comment? ;-)))

Maybe that's what put him into such a deep sleep he didn't wake up in
time to make it off the loft. :oP

I can't remember whether I was at the copy edit or galley stage for one
of my books, but I had it spread out, each chapter in a pile, on my
dining table. Clifford (RB), who generally had a rather solid digestive
tract, jumped on the table and ...decorated...two chapters.

As I attempted to disinfect and deodorized, I looked carefully at the
chapters in question. Was he being a critic? Were the topics somehow
unfeline?

Eventually, I called the managing editor. It is entirely too mind
twisting to thing of my cat call as sheepish, but there you have it. As
I put it, my editorial assistant had applied a hairball to two chapters.
Could John Wiley & Sons do without the title pages of those chapters, or
did they want me to send back the copy with, shall we say, feedback of a
more literal sort than usually send back from authors?

She reassured me that she had two editorial assistants that occasionally
gave the same sort of feedback, and loss of those pages, especially
since _I_ had no corrections on them, would not derail the publication
process.

:-) I believe it was Bracken on that occasion... Pandora spent all the
time she was here hiding behind the computer screen!

What a considerate girl for ejecting the mess outdoors!

I wish mine would: Bandit invariably heads for living-room carpet where
I'll find it difficult to clean up, while Snowball is a great snarfer
first thing & then hurls it up right there at the bowl, sometimes right
back in it, causing much wastage.

But who'd be without them.......

BTW please tell your DH that from the hill above my house I can look
over the Tamar Valley and view the hills behind Tavistock, which is just
5 miles away. It's still a nice little town despite the best efforts of
the planners to blight it.

Surely this is where any self-respecting d*g would come along and
recycle..... ;-)

Ahh - lovely! I will tell him, he will be envious! We know those hills
well - went holidaying at Moortown several times, and have stayed at
'April Cottage' B&B in Tavy town centre, lovely. Tavy is a really nice
town, I love it - and have had many a delicious pasty from one
particular baker's on the main street. :-))

LOL! She probably thought she was being considerate in removing the
mess from the house so you didn't have to clean it up! Thank goodness
Scouty and Silver are shorthairs - cat barf is not a regular part of
our lives!
