Ugh. I do not envy cleaning a dog's cage after that. We've been lucky with our dogs, but we used to have a large cat who would freak out and have diarrhea any time he was taken in a car, and that would mean having to clean him and the carrier both when we got him to the vet, and then again when we were home.

And he was long-haired.

And as the morning person in the house, it does fall to me to deal with any overnight cat vomit, which is not a rare occurrence, as well as any other pet-related chaos (like an overturned drinking fountain) that might have occurred at night.

OTOH, I get to see sunrises, so that balances out.
