Chocolate covered cardboard with marshmallow filling. Apparently my husband had like...one as a child & said he liked it so MIL recently brought over an industrial sized box. I guess I forgot they're pretty fucking gross. They'll probably be what we'll eat when the apocalypse occurs because they'll probably still be in the house.
I don't think I've ever had a moon pie, and from your description it doesn't sound like that's going to change anytime soon.
The seasons are changing, they might be shedding their winter coats. Have you noticed them cleaning themselves more often. I've found the Greenies Hairball control treats to be really helpful for my cat.
I haven't noticed increased grooming, but the older cat is definitely thinning out his coat so the hairballs are a definite possibility. I used to give hairball control goop stuff to an old cat I had. He was long haired and need it, and it really did help. I might venture out tomorrow and get some for them and see if that helps.
I clearly am jumping in on this late, but have you gotten any blood work on the cat with the thinning hair? It can be a sign of hyperthyroidism, diabetes or kidney disease in cats.

Quick Q. When cooking a typical, regular sized package of (Tyson or similar) bacon, what is the most you've eaten of said package? Asking for a friend...

It's definitely more of a seasonal eta: shedding (thinning is a confusing word), not like he has bald patches or anything. He used to be an outside cat so I think he still gets extra thick in the winter because of that.
Both my cats have been throwing up maybe 2-4 times (some food but mostly just saliva/bile) each for the last two days and I am trying to figure out what is going on. Besides the puking they are acting 100% normal.

I'm glad they are acting normal. I'd lose my shit if my cats were sick. Knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet. I've had one for over a year and the 2 others for 8 months. I've had to clean up after this damn dog more than the cats.

That's weird that it's both. Any change in diet? Or, more likely, any chance they got into anything? Pan of bacon grease left on the stove? Stick of butter? Bag of homemade bread? I'm asking because my cats have eaten all of those at some point. I can't believe they're still alive.
Regardless, I'm sorry your cats are feeling crummy. I was an ER vet tech for many years so feel free to PM me if you want/need.

c/p from earlier: Changed food in January, accidentally because DH bough the wrong one... but they have been fine. The older cat went outside, ate grass and came back in a puked (which I know is normal) but one of them had already puked before that. We have been remodeling the kitchen so things have been a mess, but we have also been extremely careful not to leave things where animals can get to them because I was worried about that... there is always the possibility of fumes being a problem. But, we are fine and so are the dogs. I am really freaked out by the thought of us having done something to cause this We were very aware of where everything was and I can't imagine how they would have gotten into anything but it is highly suspicious.
They are both up to date on all their stuff... cat is 6 and kitten is around 6 months old. I thought maybe there was a cat disease they were sharing? I don't know. General consensus around here is hairball issues. They are acting 100% normal behaviorally. Eating, drinking, peeing, pooping (although a little less than usual I would say).
I'm glad they are acting normal. I'd lose my shit if my cats were sick. Knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet. I've had one for over a year and the 2 others for 8 months. I've had to clean up after this damn dog more than the cats.
Yes, the fact that they are acting basically normal besides the puking is what is keeping me sane right now. Seriously, kitten face is being her usual obnoxiously adorable self so I feel like she will probably make it. I just wish they would stop puking.
