So who has done this - come home to a big wet pile of hairball/vomit that you didn't see and step in it? Barefoot, of course...
My kitty has been wonderfully healthy and I was just secretly congratulating myself that she hasn't had any hairball episodes. I think what I stepped in was a major hairball that looks like it came up right after she finished her dinner while I out at my volunteer shift.
There was no odor and it wasn't runny like vomit but more like undigested wet cat food. It has been years since I have dealt with hairballs so I am not so sure what this was. I am getting her started on Wellness which she likes and eats fine (except for dry). She is running around playing and very active and happy so I don't think she is sick.
How often do cats yack up hairballs? She is a well-groomed semi-long haired cat (hard to explain - she has a ruff around her neck, a full tail and ear and toe tufts, a soft thick belly, but a regular coat on her face and body). I guess I will just have to keep a close eye on her and see if it happens again and determine if it a vet-worthy problem.
