Pets, particularly dogs and cats, have a tendency to vomit on rugs and carpets rather than on hard surfaces. Experts like Stephen Quandt joke that this occurs often at inconvenient times for their owners, while Dr. Aimee Warner clarifies that pets are not acting out of naughtiness, but rather instinct. Rugs provide traction, making pets feel more secure when they are unwell. Interestingly, while vomiting is mostly a physical act for pets, some may exhibit signs of discomfort or anxiety afterwards, but this is more about being in pain than feeling fear or remorse.
For the same reason why pets always seem to get sick on Sundays: because it's so inconvenient to us. This is what they live for. " Stephen Quandt, a certified feline behaviorist.
This behavior is more instinct and comfort than naughtiness. Rugs and carpeting provide traction when walking, and it makes the animals feel more secure when they’re vomiting or sick. " Dr. Aimee Warner, resident veterinarian.
For the majority of pets, vomiting is not emotional, but physical. They are not like people who will replay the incident. Some dogs will seem uncomfortable before or after – pacing, salivating..." Dr. Aimee Warner.
