The Doppler Effect & Cat Puke

If you haven't seen the TV show The Big Bang Theory, i highly recommend it. For those who don't know my husband, he is a self-proclaimed dork. He's big into math and science, which is why he got his degree as a chemist. Well, watching the antics of Sheldon and Leonard so make me think of how Derek must have been in college. Don't know why, but the show reminds me of him and makes both of us laugh! Unfortunately for us it's in reruns already because of this stupid writers strike. But if you haven't seen it...hey, new episodes for you!


So now for the other half of my night. Stupid cat! Why is it that we have hardwood floors, yet he manages to find carpet or our bedspread to puke on, and why is it that it's always 3:30AM when he decides to do this? I guess we're in training for kids. Only he doesn't cry for 15 minutes after he throws up. Instead...and picture this in your mind...you roll over and start hearing a weird retching noise. You have 3 choices;

A) over react, turn the light on and search for the cat only for it to have been the dog clearing his throat. So now Derek is freaking out cuz the light is on and it's too bright.

B) Pretend you don't hear it. Maybe it never happened, or by some rare miracle Derek maybe cleaned it up.

C) Open your eyes and wait to hear the noise again. If is indeed the cat puking, you'd better be quick...either kick him off the bed or turn the light on and run him out to the hardwood. But then you're chasing a puking cat around the house at 3:30 in the morning.

None of these options happen to be a favorite of mine, but then again i guess it could be worse.
