Check this out. I just got kicked out of the house my girlfriend
rents a room in, permanently, because her landlord believes that I
actually *spit* in his cat's food dish. He made her go downstairs and
examine it to verify that it looked human. He came to his own
conclusion that it could not have possibly come from a feline animal.
I personally did not see the evidence. I'm not even convinced he
didn't do it himself, but at any rate...
This is kinda gross, but I'm quite curious. My girlfriend tells me
that it was clear, kinda bubbly, and viscous. They have two cats in
this house... one is less than a year old, the other is really old,
definitely on his last legs. My question is: is there any possible
way this substance could have come from either cat? They seem to be
in pretty good health, as far as I could tell.

That sucks that you were blamed. Yes, cats can vomit clear foamy
liquid. If it was in the food dish, it was probably nausea. The cat
felt hungry, and possibly just the smell of food caused him to
vomit, and probably on an empty stomach. When my Shadow was really
ill, he'd drool and stick his tongue out and gag when I said the
word "eat". The older one should be checked by a vet since older
kitties can get illnesses that cause nausea. Is he losing weight,
like drastic amounts? (sometimes its hard to tell by looking; you
have to feel)

Hey, thanks for clearing that up. I had a feeling that it came from
one of the cats; I can't really imagine why a person in the house
would have done that.
As far as whether or not the older cat is losing weight... I really
wouldn't know. I seriously did get kicked out forever, so I can't
check him out.
