One of my favorite methods for making a barf epic is to run while barfing. This gives the humans an enticing mystery to unravel: At what point did she start heaving? What was her footpath in comparison to the barf trajectory? Was it one barf or multiple barfs in quick succession?

One of my favorite places to create this game for them is on the windowsill above the dryer. As soon as I feel my innards churning, I affect a modest leap from the windowsill onto the dryer, from the dryer to the washer, and then finally to the linoleum floor below. If I time it right, I can distribute my regurgitated lunch evenly between windowsill (with a little down the wall), dryer (on top as well as down the side), and washer (sometimes even a little bit INTO the washer).

The humans emit a collective groan upon surveying the damage, but I can tell by the questions they ask that they secretly enjoy the detective work. ("Was she RUNNING?" "How did she get barf INSIDE the washing machine when it was closed?")


Here is a picture of me not barfing:
