1. If you'd have played more Oasis, your iPod would have been much better accustomed to vomit.
Do not score one for Oasis.

2. ..
:cry: I don't know.. Just don't hold it against kitty. If this happened to my iPod though I'm afraid I'd lose it :cry: I have to remember to never leave it at cat level.

I hope someone has an answer.

3. Do you have any Eagles albums on your iPod?
There may a sort of vomit/anti-vomit effect from the ever so vomitous Eagles. Otherwise, maybe the guys at an Apple Store can help, if there's one near you.

4. I'm so sorry.
Can you take the money out of his allowance?
Maybe you can shave him and sell the fur. That should give you enough money to fix it or get another.

6. If it's wet sometimes electronics start working again when they're dry.

I don't know what else to say except I'm sorry that happened to you.

7. Agreed - take out the battery ASAP, rinse it, and let it dry for 3 days.
Just to be safe.

9. You can't get the battery out of an iPod.

But it would be good to let it dry for awhile, then try it. If that doesn't work, seek professional help.

Your cat owes you... Maybe you could vomit on something belonging to the cat, see how he likes it.

10. Have a new click wheel fitted to your cat.
They're pretty cheap, and you'll have much more control over the animal afterwards. Just be careful where you insert the headphone jack.

11. cats are over rated
they will puke on the most innocent of things. I'll bet that your ipod hadn't even looked at that cat all day.

12. It never fails to amaze me how well cat can aim barf
An iPod is, what? 2 x 3 inches and in your entire house he shoots, he scores. And the crowd goes wild.
