Cat Puke: A Year In Review

1/5/07: The one that was just inside the door, after I got home from work. Cigar-shaped, it looked carefully spun, almost woven. Almost a gift. Almost.
1/8/07: Fabulous. You drew upon all your seven years.
1/14/07: Brilliant, in that I couldn’t bear to look at it.
1/15/07: This alone makes you one of the greatest wretchers working today.
1/22/07: A perfect vomit, without a single superfluous gag.
1/29/07: One of the glories of feline vomiting.
2/2/07: The prelude sounded like someone in the next apartment plunging their toilet, and it unfolded like a dream. The cleaning unfolded like another dream, a dream of cleaning.
2/4/07: Reminds us that the mouth, too, is capable of excretion.
2/5/07: Slippery and unexpected!
2/8/07: A heartbreaking pile of staggering genius.
2/11/07: Poignant… imaginative…
2/15/07: Eh.
2/20/07: Truthfully, I thought it was a rehash of an earlier vomit.
2/22/07: From your “Yellow” period.
2/25/07: Strikingly timeless!
3/1/07: A puke for the ages.
3/2/07: Very perceptive and discerning of you to save this one for the new rug.
3/5/07: It looked like you had spun it upon some secret, gastrointestinal loom. Thumbs up!
3/12/07: If, when they found the mummy, the mummy had a cigar in its mouth, this would have been the cigar.
3/13/07: Looked solid, turned to mush upon wiping. Tres mysterieux!
3/17/07: Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
3/18/07: The one I stepped in on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night: Slippery, vile, it was as though you reached into unknown depths of yourself. Depths that are now known.
4/19/07: So that’s where the rubber band went.
4/21/07: In my opinion, the climax went on a tad too long. The dinner guests agreed.
5/23/07: Looked as though you had cooked it on some secret, gastrointestinal stove. Very Stove Top Stuffing-like.
5/25/07: Post-modern. That is, very post-shaped, contemporarily speaking.
5/25/07: And here I thought they only had double-headers in baseball!
6/29/07: You really reached back for something extra on this one, and I appreciate the effort. Thanks.
7/2/07: I like the way you backed away from this one as it came out, as though laying track.
7/17/07: Subtle and rich with meaning. Disgusting meaning, but still.
7/23/07: Very existential. Sometimes I wonder if the cat could exist without the vomit, and if the vomit could please exist only inside the cat.
8/7/07: More of a gruel than your usual rich bouillabaisse.
9/9/07: An heroic vomit, resisting the Clorox Wipes until the absolute end.
10/12/07: Some behind-the-scenes eating, obviously, to produce a cesspile like this.
10/16/07: Happy Birthday to me! You really, really shouldn’t have.
10/16/07: You really shouldn’t have again.
10/31/07: Trick or treat!
11/15/07: Clever! Camouflaged as an innocent little puddle of water, right in the middle of the floor!
11/18/07: The darker side of geraniums…
11/23/07: More Stove Top Stuffing for Thanksgiving…
12/5/07: Guess who’s on Santa’s naughty list?
12/25/07: And I didn’t even have to unwrap it!
12/31/07: Innocent, Play-Doughy, it took me back to simpler times. A time when I didn’t have a cat that puked every time the wind blew.
