glad to see you are getting help Scooter!

You could always take up taxidermy

So much of what Bleeb is always trying to look at!

Scooter’s favorite Christmas song is “Do You Hair What I Hair?”

One of ‘em didn’t make it to the carpet!

We all know that’s the only place they’ll barf! There can be hard floor all around them, and they will hold it till they make it to the carpet!

Dogs are the same. Have to do it on the carpet!

Not with a name like Scooter. I’m not talking carpet cleaner here either.

copied: Trichobezoar is the medical or scientific term that is used to describe a hairball. The word “trich” means hair, while a bezoar is any foreign material that obstructs the stomach or intestines. Therefore, a trichobezoar is a gastrointestinal obstruction caused by hair.

NOT a safe place for Bleeb…in lots of ways!

I think Scooter is in the wrong meeting. This looks like a meeting of Catnip Anonymous.

Sign up my cats! It’s not hairballs, I can only guess sometimes they eat too fast.

Hope Bleep doesn’t become brunch!

Better that than “My name is Barfy and I’m a carpet scooter”.

Hi Scooter

Too much of that Hairball tonic eh, Scooter?

Unlike dogs, cats do not eat their barf. Or poop.

Well, Scooter, you can join Tigger in that club….eww

I have 6 who don’t care where they hoark. But they seem to prefer where they know I will step.

Still better than the dogs who eat it…

Cats evolved sensitive stomachs because they often have to eat cached kill and it protects them from poisoning. They will eat grass to induce vomiting or just for a vitamin supplement. If you cat routinely vomits take it to a vet, not a meeting.

Oh look, it’s all my Cat’s relatives.

Scooter seems more like a dogs name, cats don’t normally scoot.

We know how painful that must have been to admit, Scooter.

Hi scooter! I’ll bet your story is hairy1

The first topic: “Is the hairball our friend?”…

Love the way you drew Scooter’s body. That’s hilarious!

Hi Bleeb! Stay away from the barfers!

Alcoholism isn’t something to spoof…

Hairball cannon.
