18 times our pets were totally gross – but we loved them anyway

The Pee

“My cat peed in the laundry basket once – when there were still sheets in it.” – Eric Camarillo

“We had a deeply troubled cat who would eliminate right on the bed on the regular, and no, she did not have a UTI. She was adopted and must have suffered some trauma as a kitten. Anyway, we would cover the bed with wooden boards the minute we got up every morning. So then she found a way to sneak into our neighbor’s apartment and she started eliminating there. Man, that was an angry cat.” – Adriana Velez, SheKnows Food Editor

The Vomit

“Once when I was dog sitting all six of my neighbors dogs got into the dog vitamins and ate an entire gallon bucket of them. Then proceeded to COVER every square inch of the kitchen floor with vomit. (The vet assured me they’d be fine so it was a happy ending).” – Sarah Krenicki

“My dog likes to vomit, and then eat it. Every time. Without fail.” – Corri Michelle Smith

“My dog does the same thing every time he throws up. He begins to gag really heavily like two or three times and he always, ALWAYS runs up to me as the gagging is happening like “MOM PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.” I’m his go-to. Once I was playing with him on the floor and he stopped suddenly, began gagging, and I just knew it was coming. So as he gagged for the last time, I don’t know what made me do it but I just thrust my cupped hands right in front of him and he threw up IN MY HANDS. At first I was like YES! No vomit on the carpet! But then my boyfriend looked at me completely shocked, like what did you just do? And there I was, sitting on the floor with cupped hands full of vomit. I started shrieking WHAT DO I DO NOW?!?! I got up and ran to the toilet to dump it in and then washed my hands like 12 times.” – Kirstie Renae

“Our washing machine used to drain into the back yard. One day my dog decided to drink a crap-ton of the grey water and then vomit it up all over the house floor. The good news: It was a lesson she only had to learn once.” – Colleen Stinchcombe, SheKnows Community Editor
