    I have always had this hunch that cats take their vomit to the carpet because they don’t want to feel it uncomfortably splatter onto their paws(the way it would on a hard surface like tile).

    It would be congruent with a cat’s overall air of arrogant superiority. It’s a bonus for them that they also get to watch their human groan and complain as they stoop to clean it up like the servants they are.

      I’d be more inclined to say they know it’s smelly waste and want a soft surface to bury it in.

      Which begs the question of why they don’t go for the litterbox, but mine do always try to bury it right away.

      Considering my cat has never once hit the tile despite 80% of the house having hard surfaces, I totally buy this.
