I was forewarned by the yakking sounds, so I knew to look when I entered the hallway. I blame hairballs here. I guess I’ll have to get a good medicine for that. All three cats are shedding like nobody’s business.

and alerts me to the possibility that on the way to the bathroom in the dark I might step in puke with a bare foot. Eww. I'm not sure whether it's worse to step in warm cat puke or cold cat puke.
