Yep, I spot clean once in awhile. I have a cat. On occasion in the middle of the night (and it only happens in the middle of the night) we hear a loud ...KA! KA! KA!...that will make my husband and I simultaneously sit straight up in bed, and for a brief second wonder what the HECK is that! Soon we realize it's only the cat trying to hack up a hairball the size of it's tail. (Which by the way, is always only the size of a pea beacuse he gets brushed everyday) Then we lay there the rest of the night hoping we remember to put our slippers on if we have to venture out of bed anytime during the rest of the night. You all with cats know what I'm talkin' bout! Right?
