That's one handsome cat. I sure wish I had my photo cable.
My cats - #1 was roused from a hidey hole as we returned from dinner, and is now downstairs subtly suggesting he should be fed, despite the fact that he (a) threw up breakfast and (b) had dinner already.
#2 is AWOL, probably asleep in the closet. HE sleeps like a top because he is stone deaf. HE doesn't hear us come in, but will wake when he feels us walking on the floors.
I'm at work, but I can be almost completely certain that my cat is either a) asleep b) fighting one of the neighbours' cats (his main springtime hobby) or c) sitting on the garden wall or windowsill looking at things (year-round hobby).

For my cat, and I suspect many others, throwing up is a recreational activity, which is rapidly forgotten; the only lingering feeling is "I'm empty! Need food, dammit!".
My girl cat is most likely sleeping on top of the small couch in my living room. Although sometimes she runs out of energy halfway up the very soft backrest and just falls asleep there, kind of draped down the front of the cushion in a sleepy superman pose.
One of my neighbors is having their driveway dug up and repaved today, so my boy cat is most likely sitting in the kitchen window watching that. He likes big yellow machines and watches them excitedly, making the same sort of chirpy meows he makes when there are birds on the lawn.
I imagine if I let him outside, he'd race over there, knock the backhoe over, and try to bite its wheels off or something. He is a big kitty so might be evenly matched with a 20,000-lb machine. Maybe. At least, I think so, because (just like everybody's cats) he is the bestest kitty ever.
Okra is systematically dismantling my study by emptying and then sitting in every single box. She also enjoys emptying all bureau drawers - she can open them, oh yes she can - and tossing everything on closet shelves onto the floor. I would take a picture but if I go get the camera she'll chase me because it's in the kitchen and it is forbidden to enter the kitchen without a kitty escort.
