Egads! I have never seen anything like that. Do cats do this often? Is it like when an owl coughs up a pellet? Are they supposed to do that? Horrible.

I (unfortunately) opened the spoiler and egads NO - at least I have never seen one that bad

- my one cat will leave me a furry hairball infrequently but that picture does not resemble what he coughs up!

I have one cat who barfs up hairballs the size of New Jersey. I know it hurts so I have medicine for it and I also buy special dry food with hairball blasting technology. Try stepping on one of those squishy critters in the middle of the night. eegads.

I have (had) a nice, inexpensive little laptop fan. Today, National Hairball Awareness Day, Murphy puked about a gallon of what appeared to be water on/in it. (Actually, she was good and aimed to the side where the motor isn't, and I think she did no damage, but I feel like taking advantage of an opportunity for needless drama). The cat has ruined a wireless Apple keyboard thusly.
