there must be a rule

Cat Rule 237: If you are feeling queasy and begin sicking up, run quickly from room to room. A cat loses FGP (Feline Grace Points) if he or she is ill in less than four places during a single bout of internal distress.

I feel your pain. I had this this morning, Quincy, on the sitting room floor then in front of his own bowl

Arrrgh!

I'm not sure which is worse, suddenly stepping on something unexpected and squishy in your stocking feet after a long day at work, or just hearing that sound (particularly if you are, say, lying in bed, nearly asleep), "Hwock, hwock, hwluck! *splat*"

oh yes, that noise. you hit the nail on the head there, describing it

Addendum to Rule 237: Make sure that those four places are carpeted and not lino or other easily wiped surfaces. Extra points for expensive carpet and / or upholstery.

Of course, if you can get the human to do it themselves (like dropping the extract of malt they're trying to give you for hairballs off their finger onto a couch cushion), so much the better!
