Well, That Was Gross

One of my cats has had a lot of trouble with hairballs lately. He vomited near the back door yesterday night, and I made the mistake of waiting until today to clean it up. By which time a zillion little ants had found it. I swept them up and out the door, although since there's dark carpet on the stairs there, I'm sure I missed some. Ack, I feel itchy just thinking about it. The area I swept feels very contaminated to me, since it's where I store my shoes (plus just the obvious yuck factor), but I didn't shower afterward. Feeling a little icky, but okay.
