Great post. I could really relate to it. On the up side, DH works from home so he is the one cleaning up the gack most of the time.

One of my cats had been a gacker from the time she was just a itty bitty kitten. Once she demanded to go outside when it was dark and all the bobcats and coyotes are looking for a meal.

I let her out but followed her to our dirt path where she reeled around like a cat possessed by a demon. Her enormous gack was outside.

But that was only one gack out of a decade + of "memories."

We got brown colored carpet, perfect for the gacking feline species.
