Tummy upsets in cats and dogs

True-love Boulder's Natural Animal,
My 7-year-old Cat, Minka, is so twee -- she's the love of my life! In fact, she's reasonable about perfect, except for one thing. She throws up all the time! She seems perfectly tonic but for as long as I've had her she's been a puker. What gives? Do cats decent barf a lot or what?
Sincerely,
No More Vomit, Please
Dear No More Upchuck,
Our very own Dr. Brockmann has a quote, "On the vomiting scale, cats are on the 'assured' side." Have cat? Barf in short order to follow.
There are several possible explanations for Minka's hardened upchucking. On the more "irritating-to-guardian-but-not-so-serious" side is the "excessive groomer" .
Unreality is a common feline quality. With the excessive groomer it's persevering shining and tending to the "queen's robe." And where there's a lot of grooming, there's a lot of hairballs! A sizeable hairball remedy might do the trick.

A Mom's Diary: Week 39

The odd thing about being a working mom is that no matter what you do, the work is never done. If it’s not an trip I forgot to take care of last week, it’s a thank you note for a baby ability received months ago. If I’ve turned in a monster launch that’s haunted me for the last month, another deadline looms around the corner (like, tomorrow). If I’ve helped Eva learn to wet one's whistle from a sippy cup, I’ll stumble onto the annoying realization that I’m recent with moving her onto more solids and fewer purees.
When I fist my job to pursue the unpredictable path of a freelance litt, I never set out to be the most ambitious or most inspired. I planned on working my pope's off when focusing on my assignments, but chasing after career-making freelance projects wasn’t the aspiration. I just wanted to keep my toe dipped into the work stakes as I dove headfirst into becoming a mommy.
When I decided to become a obstruct-at-home mom, I didn’t quite comprehend the full-time-jobness required to institute a child. During my maternity leave, being a mom felt like I was in a tried state of RED ALERT! ALL HANDS ON DECK! And then after 3 months, things mellowed out a bit and being a mom was about parts tummy time in between the hours Eva spent snuggling in my arms or mendacious on her back and putting things in her mouth. Since Eva’s reached the rosy age where she’s acquiring new skills practically every day (or “dull pet tricks,” as we gleefully refer to them at accessible), I’ve realized that I’m on the verge of leaving the stage where powerful mommying requires keeping a watchful eye over her. I be acquainted with some moms engage, stimulate and teach from the bat of an eye the cord is cut, but frankly, that never came naturally to me. I find myself repeating some words, getting bored, and then being superlatively content to watch her explore the little exactly around her while I tickle her chubby little feet and toes. I see the benefits of teaching from day 1, but I scruple I’ve harmed Eva’s chances at being President of the United States by not. At this pertinent, anyway.
