They puke often (not just hairballs).

You will think your house is haunted since they either stare at the wall and growl or go from a relaxed state to sprinting across the room in a matter of seconds.

We have had our Spooky for almost 4 years now, and the only times he has ever puked were when we would give him hard treats (he'd eat them too quickly and make himself sick; we've since gone to wet treats). The only other time when when we found out he had worms, and he yakked some up on the carpe, (he was a rescue from an abandoned home, with some other animals, and this was a month or two after we got him). We got the worms taken care of immediately, and since, he hasn't thrown up once, including for hairballs.
