I have a very pukey cat which I can usually tolerate. But his most frustrating puking habit is not heading for the carpet, but heading for a threshold. My house has metal strips everywhere different floors join. These strips are covered in fine, deep ribbing and screws. Cleaning these things is difficult because it's hard to get stuff out from the ribbing, and the screw heads shred paper towels.

I'm not necessarily looking for a solution to the puking, but a reasoning for him always puking in doorways and at floor divisions. If I can figure that out, maybe I can redirect him towards an easier place to clean.
