I always wanted to pay someone to drink ipecac & ride a spinning amusement park ride, creating an endless chain reaction of vomiting.

I've heard they eat it if they have an upset stomach and subconsciously feel the need to vomit, but I don't know if that's true. My dog eats grass and leaves all the time and rarely pukes it up; I think he just likes to eat things.

I dunno. Sometimes you do just need to throw up, I guess?

You're the kind of person who makes our society a happier and less traumatic place.

I bet I wouldn't even have to pay an ISTP to do it, actually.

Just dare him.

Typology at its most constructive.

From what i recall, sometimes they cannot produce a hairball (due to shortage of hair), but the hair they have licked up does occasionally irritate the stomach. Eating grass apparently helps them get rid of that.

I always was told it's their medicine or, it tastes like bananas to them.

I think it's something to do with fur balls and their digestive track and a way how they clean themselves out.
