When my cat feels he has not been fed when he is hungry, he eats soil and then vomits as some sort of protest (he verges on slightly tubby, so he is not eating soil out of desperation before anyone accuses me of starving my pet). Yesterday I slept in a bit, so he was a bit late to get his breakfast. He was not best pleased.

So I get out of bed and there is the cat looking very loving and purry and friendly. Then I notice, oh no, cat puke in the hall. Now my cat is inevitably sick twice - so instantly I start looking for the next pile. And see a frankly HUGE quantity of cat puke on the sofa. He must have drunk about a pint of water to produce that. Then I turn to the left and see more puke. And then right, and more puke. All this time he is purring away and begging me for breakfast.

Despite being still shrouded in sleep, I desperately trying to think which pile I should start on when I hear the mail arrive, and like a homing missile it lands straight in the hallway pile of cat puke. Face down. And when I pick it up and scrape some of the cat sick off it, its not mail for me, its urgent mail for my landlord.

So that is why I hated my cat a little yesterday. Anyone else want to share?

I know it's both protest and stress, depression as well, bc she has figured out & confirmed in her own mind that JB is not ever coming home again.
