Hwarf, Hwarf, Hwarf

So, what's the nicest way to be woken up at 3am? Why, to hear your precious kitty, leaning over the side of your bed, coughing up TWO hairballs onto your knitting. This happened to me last week. Luckily, it was in a plastic bag, so most of the hairball slid down the side, but the swatches close to the top did get defiled. They were okay after a washing (and I guess it's good to wash your swatches) but eeeuuuuwww.

That was not one but two hairballs out of THREE in the same week. And this from a cat who hasn't coughed up more than eight in the five years I've had her. Yuck.
