Cardinal Furretti Is Unwell...

Unlike Jeffrey Bernard, Furretti was not intoxicated. She has, in common with most cats (especially longhairs), a tendency to hairballs. However, throwing up hairballs is quite a neat operation, and the results tend to come out in a long, neat tube of matted fur...

This was very different.

The poor puss jumped onto my chest of drawers last night, opened her mouth and promptly released a stream of fluid - not quite projectile vomiting, but pretty close! It landed all over my old iPhone (which I use as a sort of iPod for playing audiobooks.) Fortunately, it doesn't appear to have suffered any ill effects... the cat, on the other hand, was looking very woebegone...

Today she appears to be feeling much better...

Was it green vomit? When she jumped off the chest of drawers, did she levitate for a few seconds? Probably not possessed, but just keep an eye on her.

If she starts purring while reading the letters page of the Tablet...fetch the exorcist.

Once they get outside anything might happen - could be fur, or a bit of juicy rodent, or some feathers! Cats usually bounce back after a quick vomit.

Too much information!

Get out a St Benedict's Medal, and put it near her. She will recover.

Thanks, Mary - but she's better already. It was probably a mouse which disagreed with her..

A mouse disagreed with being eaten???
