Explaining that their cat Holly had recently got neutered, Hager said that the doctors told them to look out for “vomit.”
“Mila, right before bed, scooped up some peanut butter,” she told Kotb. “So I walked in to put her to bed, and this is a good one because I was tired… She scooped out a little bit of peanut butter — she didn’t put it on the rug because then I would’ve been really grumpy — she put it on her bedside table and said Holly got sick.”
Because “it smelled a little like peanut butter,” Hager said her daughter “didn’t get me 100 percent.”
