At least he always brings them up in the kitchen or dining room so I don't have to scrub a carpet!

We haven't got carpet in any room now but the wood flooring in sitting room is due for replacement {only put down cheap to see if I liked it more years ago than I can remember}having one of my brain waves said to hubby that perhaps it would be nice to go back to carpet but patterned not plain as cats hairs would show up more,week later cat pukes up on said floor,one look at each other,have just gone out & bought more wood flooring,ease of cleaning up after little darlings has to come first.
Fur sausage does cover it better too,so will try & remember that instead of "ball",just need to make notes of how long these sausages are,little things comes to mind....!!!!

Hope Buddy is feeling better, Samantha used to cough up some pretty good size fur sausages.
You might try grooming him each night at bed time to reduce the amount of hair he ingest.

Poor Buddy. I'm sure he is feeling much better after that shock! You've got me worrying now as I have never seen a furball\sausage from Mufasa and I'm wondering when 'the big one' will hit

I had a similar episode with Alfie in March. He started drooling one day, and it got worse and worse and worse, and he was looking so sorry for himself and his ruff was a massive soggy mess, I took him down to the vet. They looked in his mouth and down his throat - nothing stuck. Poked a thermometer up his bottom - no temperature. Started talking about Liver Shunts and blood tests - starved him overnight, took him back next morning, they shaved a big lump out of his ruff (which has only just grown back - no shows all year! eek!) did all the blood tests - nothing. Got him home and he threw up the most humungus fur 'log' you ever saw! So £150 poorer but lesson learnt! Glad Buddy is ok. Hopefully he's fully on the mend now

Some cat pass the hair all the way through and out the back door, that's what the "Petromalt" hairball remedy is for greasing the passage way.
Meme would poop hair logs and sometimes there was a dangler.

Thanks again for all your replies. His Lordship is still laying on the sofa. He's kept most of his fish down but after trying the rice started gagging and produced another fur ball, only a small one this time thankfully. He hasn't groomed himself today :/ so I'm hoping he has got it all out of his system now. I am just so glad that there was no one about with a camera when I had a soppy great coonie laid in my arms drinking warm water out of a bottle. I do think he's milking it a bit as I've had to carry him to the litterbox and back. He's still not himself - he hasn't destpyed or terrorised anything / anyone today. Hopefully all he needs now is a couple of days rest and hoovering ;) I've past on all your cuddles and hugs to him.

Buddy sends hugs back to Hector and Bruce.

Bruce says good on you mate you are not letting the "male" side down,he too has to be carried everywhere for several days after the event,you just can't expect me to walk all the way to my feeding station or to bed when I have still got such a sore stomach & feeling soooo bad.If Buddy plays it right you will come into the room while he is having a play & suddenly you will see a big helpless furry heap,did you see what that mouse done mum,it wanted to play but I just don't have the energy,could you pick me up please,have our two got the same genetics I wonder......
Another kiss for Buddy x

Poor Buddy, but I am pretty sure he's playing on it a little he needs to remember some of us are his friends on facebook lol x
