Over the years I have developed good ears and eyes to detect when a cat is going to throw up. It's not a glamorous skill, but it has saved my comforter a few times.
And luckily, we have the skittish cat in the bedroom with us, so if/when I ever hear those tell-tale "I'mma puke" noises, even when dead asleep apparently, I can bolt upright and smack the covers loud enough to scare her off the bed and onto the floor, which is much easier to clean than the bedspread.
Happy Monday!

While dog-sitting a few weeks ago, I was watching a movie and looked over to see the dog hunched over and convulsing. Having had plenty of experience with puking myself, I immediately recognized what was going on. Unfortunately, dogs are a little harder to coax anywhere (outside, ideally) when they're set on puking, so I got to watch a big puddle of yellow blech slop onto the floor.
We got outside, and I almost felt sorry for the poor thing as I watched her finish up--until I went back in and started cleaning. Disgusting.
I've gotten pretty good at it too, of course, with Stormy (the one that usually does the throwing up) she meows really weirdly and loudly, letting us all know her approximate location and what she's about to do. If it's during the day, she gets chucked outside, if it's in the middle of the night, I just set her on the floor where it is much easier to clean up. I do have to find her, though, because you never know where she might be. She has a tendency to get in my closet and the last thing I want is my shoes gagged all over.
I miss ya Keek! I need to give you a call sometime.
Yeah, animals have some telltale signs of imminent puking.
High five to Bonnie for using the OpenID option! Yeah!
Yeah let's talk soon, David. ^_^
