The only thing worse is if you hear that sound at 2am and you're sleeping snugly with the cat curled up under your arm. You just hope that it hits the lower part of the blankets or better yet, the floor as the dear kitty tries to get out of the room.
Get well soon B2Y, so many of us can relate.
We also had this wee little kitty, Sweet Pea who was famous for going to the highest point in the room before doing projectile vomiting. She could take out more objects in one hurl than any mammal I've ever seen before. She only weighed six pounds.
